Episode 800: The Tribulation and the Law. Part 1

Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we return to Matthew 24 making a comparison to the events listed in verses 4 through 8 against the four horsemen listed in Revelation 6.

When making the comparison one must remember that the Lord Jesus is speaking to His Jewish disciples regarding the Jewish people who are currently under the Law of Moses and who WILL BE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES during the tribulation.

Please note that the Tribulation is part of the 70 weeks determined by God for the restoration of Israel. The entire 70th week is part of the age of Law. The Church Age or the Age of Grace was a pause in the Age of Law according to Daniel, James, and Paul.

Daniel 9:24 (NKJV)
24 “Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.

James - Acts 15:13-18 (NKJV)
13 And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: 14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
16 ‘After this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;
17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the LORD who does all these things.’
18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works.

Paul - Romans 11:25-29 (NKJV)
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Therefore we can clearly read directly from the scriptures that the Lord will restore His people Israel. They will put themselves back under the Law of Moses because their Temple will be rebuilt, animal sacrifices will be restored, and they will begin to observe the Law and the Sabbath.

Now what does the scriptures declares happens in the 7th year, the Sabbatical year, all debts are paid. That's correct, Jesus will return and set Israel the nation free.

Today's study is 1 hour and 19 minutes in duration. I have broken it into six segments. This is segment 1 of 6 titled The Tribulation and the Law. Part 1
