Discussion: August 12: Nagkamali Ba Si Jesus Sa Kanyang Propesiya? - Prophecy of Jesus

365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition


💁🏻 Concept: Prophecy Of Jesus Christ
Jesus’ prophecy in Matthew 24 primarily concerns the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 as God’s covenantal judgment on Israel. The “great tribulation” and “this generation” refer to first-century events, not the end of the world. While most of the Olivet Discourse was fulfilled then, some elements — like the final return of Christ and bodily resurrection — remain future.


📖 Bible Readings: Matthew 24:34
(Matthew chapters 23-24; Book of Revelation; 2 Timothy 3:1-8)

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Father God, thank You for the prophecy of Jesus Christ that proves He is a true prophet. Everything He said that would happen in that generation was fulfilled down to the very detail. Thank You for the comfort that there is nothing in the Bible that teaches the world is getting worse and worse but rather the world is healing because of the growing Kingdom of God here on earth. Please make me one of Your missionaries who will advance the Great Commission of Jesus. Use me to share the gospel to the people around me. In Jesus’ name, amen!
