The Mini Apocalypse

By Dr. Ron Jones

The Olivet Discourse is a body of teaching that contains Jesus’s answers to questions about the end of the age just days before He went to the cross (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13; Luke 22). This section of Scripture is also called the “Mini Apocalypse” for how it parallels Revelation 6-7 and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

 

What does the Mini Apocalypse tell us about the end of the age? What signs did Jesus tells His disciples to look for before His Second Coming? Among the signs are false Christs, wars and rumors of wars, natural disasters, persecution, pestilences, apostasy, lawlessness, and the worldwide preaching of the gospel.

 

According to Jesus, “All these are but the beginning of the birth pangs,” increasing with frequency and intensity as we get closer to the end (Mathew 24:8).

“Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”

Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.
