Matthew 24
 

Matthew 24 refers to the 24th chapter of the Book of Matthew in the New Testament. That particular chapter along with chapter 21 of the Book of Luke and chapter 13 of the Book of Mark record prophetic words which Jesus spoke to His disciples. In His last few days before His death, Jesus made a remark about the future destruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Later, after they had left the area His disciples approached Him and asked Him three questions: “When shall these things be? What shall be the sign of Thy coming? And of the end of the world/age?”

There are differences of opinion about what Jesus said, and how much of what He said has been fulfilled and how much has not happened yet.

This post has the words to an old song called Matthew 24 and some videos about the words Jesus spoke and how it may be fulfilled.

There are several version of this song. Here is one of them.

Matthew 24

Verse 1
I believe the time is coming for our Lord to come again
I believe the end is nearing every door
I believe the good old Bible from beginning to the end
Just compare today with Matthew 24


Chorus
We are living surely living in the days he speaks about
All these things we now are having every day
Let's be ready for his coming, let us meet him with a shout
For he tells us in his Word to watch and pray


Verse 2
While upon the Mount of Olives his disciples came to him
Saying tell us when these things are going to be
Jesus answered be ye watching let each one be free from sin
And take heed no man shall ever you deceive


Verse 3
Many wars shall come upon us when the end of time is near
Many earthquakes will be numerous in those days
All of these today we're having and in Matthew it appears
We should live our life for Him and sing his praise


Here’s a video of the song being sung by some folks gathered together in a garage.

I used to listen to the Inspirations sing that song back in the day. The best part about the song was the harmony.

A UPC pastor from western Canada wrote a song NOT ONE STONE, or a title to that effect. What a sobering song. It of course was referring to Christ's words that not one stone of the temple would be left unturned due to Israel's rejection of Jesus in Matthew 24. The minister was a Bro. Garrett. I do not have the lyrics, but maybe someone here has them.
