“The Kingdom of God Is Near…”

Blessings folk!

Let us look at the Luke passage related to “this generation”…

Luke 21:29-33
29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near.
31 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place.
33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

In this passage we see the same thing we saw in Matthew, a parable of a fig tree.
It teaches us that we can know the season of the Lord’s return, though we will not know the day/hour.

Matthew tells us that when we see all these thing we will know that He is near, at the very gates.

Luke tells us that when you see these things taking place we will know that the Kingdom of God is near.

Jesus’ return manifest the Kingdom of God.

The generation that sees all this will not pass away...speaks of how rapidly things will occur.
Heaven and earth will pass away.
A new heaven and a new earth is to come.

But, the Words of the Lord will not pass away.

Cling to His Word.
Know His Word.
