En Route to the Mount of Olives (Matthew 24): The Intimate Conversation with Jesus before His Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday: Exploring Jesus answering the disciples' questions. When will be the sign of your coming? The end of the age?

By David R. Rosen

And now - it is time. And as God has arranged and prepared. As the scriptures have been foretold - for the crucifixion of Jesus is now but days away! Jesus had been preparing His disciples for the time of this week. And now, we jump into the Word. Jesus and His disciples are now leaving the Temple. And they are heading across the way up towards the Mount of Olives. For the time of Jesus' last Passover observance with His Disciples, is before Him. And then, He transforms His last Passover with His Disciples into The Last Supper [Matt 26:17-19].

So picture yourself standing in the courtyard - in view is the Mount of Olives. Jesus has just finished rebuking the Scribes and Pharisees in his telling the crowds and disciples the seven woes to their hypocritical faith [as recorded within Matthew 23] and now Jesus and His disciples are preparing to leave the courtyard, and you overhear the disciples note to Jesus the splendor of the Temple

And in return reply, Jesus offers an unexpected comment [actually Jesus offers prophecy that He presents back to them]. And now, the journey to cross over from the temple courtyard to the Mount of Olives begins.

In life, each day is a gift from God. And throughout life, He also blesses us with things expected and unexpected. I have been so blessed, more than I can write. For, outside of my salvation in Jesus, my wife Sandy is right behind the blessings of salvation - in having a Christian woman as my wife and life partner. And from there, my kids and my grandkids are also my blessings and treasures in life. It’s hard to order all that Jesus has done, but to say that I am so blessed to have the family He has given me, and that they, too, are in Christ brings me to my knees in gratitude with thanksgiving. Having just finished my second book about the signs of Jesus’ return and the end of this age – En Route to the Mount of Olives – Matthew 24. I felt the calling to author this book next. I humbly praise God for the honor and privilege of doing so. I pray that He will have me continue to write about Him as my life starts in the next chapter. And I pray that He would help me endure as a witness and testimony of His loving grace and mercy to my family, friends, and you, the reader. As Psalms 139:16 declares: “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” So my ask of you is to pray for God’s glory. Pray that He continues to change your and my hearts to be more conformed to the image of Jesus. And pray that He will keep us both in the faith of, in, and through Jesus. And pray that God will continue to use me to write about His glory for my family, friends, and you as long as He grants me the days. In Jesus’ name, and for and to His glory, Amen!
