THE GOSPELS

There is so much condensed subject matter, that all this section will do is list the information, especially because it is already covered both in the Old Testament/Tenach and in other parts of the New Testament.
Because the "test of a prophet" was 100% accuracy in the Old Testament/Tenach, this rule will be applied here to the Gospels accounts.

C.S. Lewis once said,
"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and Kill him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." (Mere Christianity)



MATTHEW

Ch. 24
False Messiahs,
wars & rumors of wars,
persecutions,
love growing cold/distance from Torah (law),
Good News announced throughout the whole world,
the adomination that causes desolation in the Holy Place,
trouble worse than ever before & ever again,
Son of Man coming like lightening,
sun dark, moon will stop shining, stars will fall, heaven shaken,
all the people groups of the Land will mourn,
Son of Man coming on clouds, will gather chosen people from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other,
the day or hour...no one knows...only the Father,
one taken & one left, be ready,
the Son of man will come when you are not expecting him.

MARK

Ch. 13
False Messiahs,
wars & rumors of wars,
earthquakes, famines,
persecution,
the Good News proclaimed to the gentiles,
the abomination that causes devastation where it shouldn't be,
worse trouble than ever has been and ever will be again,
sun dark, moon stops shining, stars fall, heaven shaken,
Son of Man coming in clouds, gather his chosen people,
stay alert - you do not know the time.

LUKE

Ch. 17
comparison to Noah's flood,
unexpected destruction,
don't go back, remember Lot's wife, one taken & one left

Ch. 21
False Messiahs,
wars & revolutions,
earthquakes, epidemics, famines,

Son of Man coming in a cloud, stay alert.
