Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” “Immediately after the tribulation of THOSE DAYS…” What “tribulation” is being referred to? There is of course one more view on this which we have not mentioned yet and although similar to that which our futurist friends put forth…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” In our Lord’s prophecy these true star-lights (mentioned in our previews post) are reckoned in as part of the Gospel Sunlight, darkened, withdrawn from shining; while the false stars, the worldly-wise, man-ordained lights of the present heavens are represented…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Having taken a look at some of the literal fulfillment of this verse let us now examine, The (ongoing) Symbolic Fulfillment “While the literal signs served their designed purpose in drawing general attention to the Time of the End,…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” The Falling Stars “Half a century passed before the next sign appeared the falling of the stars from heaven, as when a fig tree casts her unripe fruit when shaken of a mighty wind. (Bear in mind those 50…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 29 continued, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Here we would like to provide some more evidence of the literal fulfillment of the darkening of the sun and the moon which took place immediately following the tribulation of those days, viz. the days in which the true…
Matthew Chapter 24 Here we will skip ahead to Verse 29 and will come back to Verse 28 later when we reach Verse 41. The reason for this is to make Matthew’s account correspond with that of Mark and Luke. Verse 29 is actually the conclusion of Verse 41. VERSE 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers…
All believers coming through the “curtain” (the “First Vail”) are “called to be saints,” but only those who obey the call and YIELD themselves sacrifices (fulfilling their covenant of sacrifice), “make their calling and election sure.” Thus this first vail represents clearly our death to the world.

“In his letter to the Hebrews, the Apostle frequently refers to a vail. He is writing to those who were familiar with the earthly tabernacle, its arrangements and services. The Apostle endeavors to show that it was only a type or figure designed to illustrate spiritual truths. There were three curtains, two of which were called vails. Let us see: If we had visited the Tabernacle in the wilderness, the first object to meet our attention as we approached would…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 continued, “See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the bright-shiner [the Sun] cometh out of the East, but shines even unto the West, so shall the presence of the Son of Man be.” “Some time back in Detroit a vision of Mary appeared on the side…
Matthew Chapter 24 VERSE 25-27 continued, “Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
