Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Matthew 24:27-35

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

Immediately after the distress of those days ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 

 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The rest of Jesus' teaching in this section comes in the form of parables: he uses stories to drive home the points of the previous chapter.

Why?

Jesus coming again on that day like the lightning, no one knows when and where Jesus comes from. 

Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather, the dead men will have the sign of the vultures, so be aware the sing. 

Sun, moon, stars will drop means the sky is dark on that day.

When the Son of Man appears we will know and glad, but all the peoples of the earth will mourn for they have not the opportunity to repent and they have to face their own sins.

All of these prediction words from Jesus Christ will come true.

1)耶穌降臨的情形：全地的人都可以看見，而且是顯而易見的。人子來是快速，不可預判的。啟示錄1:1也提到此事，耶穌再來是超越時間空間。

2)我們不會看錯：有屍首的地方就有禿鷲，這是很明顯且必然的都可以認出來。回應前面要分內之事誰是真的耶穌

3)地上的政權都要滅亡：日、月、星晨都沒有了，表示地上所有的帝國、強權，有價值的都滅亡了，以日、月、星來描述這情形。以西結書，太陽不發光……這是耶和華說的。

4)神榮耀的彰顯：人子駕雲降臨，耶穌再來不再是嬰孩，人不知道誰

5)神召聚他的子民： 等神降臨不是在等公車，一直在看、在等。神要用號筒大聲招祂的選民來。

耶穌再來的時候沒有人知道，為什麼有人還相信那一天，在那裏的一些傳言?末世來之前有徵兆，每個人都知道。有人說以色列建國就是無花果開花了，聖經沒有將以色列比喻為無花果，反而比較多以葡萄來比喻以色列國。不要對號入座來預言末日。

How?

Be aware before that day, confirm our faith in Jesus Christ.
