As the passover drew near, Jesus had a feast with his disciples. In this episode, we discuss the profound symbolism of this moment, its context, bridal revelation, and further revelation of the passover lamb. Even in closing, as they sang a hymn and departed, psalm 118 was on their lips, "I shall not die and live, and declare the works of the Lord."   Matthew 26:17-35Mark 14:12-31Luke 22:7-38John 131 Corinthians 5:71 Peter 1:19Guest Speaker: Jannel Heastonwww.messagetokings.com

Looking for ways to arrest and kill Jesus, the chief priests and associates offered thirty pieces of silver to Judas to betray him. Judas agrees, and he participates in the Last Supper, until Jesus dismisses him.  It says that satan, the devil, possesses him at that moment to betray him.  In this episode, we cover Judas' betrayal and a few examples of demon possession in history.  Matthew 26:1-4Matthew 26:14-16Matthew 27:3-10Luke 22:1-6John 13:18-30www.messagetokings.com

After being sought out by gentiles, Jesus responds "unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but, if it dies, it product much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." Further, Jesus shouted in prayer to his father, and a voice came from heaven in response. In this podcast, we discuss the grain of wheat and the voice from heaven. John 12:20-36www.messagetokings.com

Jesus says "no one knows the day or hour." In this podcast, we discuss this verse, some history, and times and seasons. But more importantly, does this mean we should be prepared? Sure, but more importantly we should live like there is no tomorrow! Mark 13:32-37Luke 21:34-38Matthew 24:14www.messagetokings.com

Jesus continues to discuss end times in the Olivet Discourse, and concludes with the final judgement. In this podcast, we discuss this judgment, the millennium reign, and the New Jerusalem.   Matthew 25:31-46Revelation 21www.messagetokings.com

In connection with the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.  While the bridegroom delayed in his coming, five wise virgins had enough oil to light their lamps, while five foolish virgins ran out of oil.  While they are gone, the bridegroom arrives locking out the foolish virgins.  In this episode, we cover different perspectives of this parable and its primary interpretation of waiting and not growing weary.  Matthew 25:1-132 Timothy 4:7-8Romans 5:3-4James 1:2-4www.messagetokings.com

Jesus continues his private meeting with his disciples on end times. In this final installment of the Olivet Discourse, we discuss the rapture, the judgment, and the end of the age. Matthew 24:29-44Matthew 25:31-46www.messagetokings.com

Jesus continues his discourse on end times from the Mount of Olives.  In this episode, we discuss the Abomination of Desolation, and the antichrist. Matthew 24:19-28Daniel 9:27Daniel 11:31Daniel 12:7Daniel 12:112 Thessalonians 2:1-12www.messagetokings.com

Jesus' disciples ask Jesus about the end, "when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age." Jesus answered the first part of the question, with 11 signs of the current age: wars, rumors of wars, false Christs, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, persecution, betrayal, false prophets, lawlessness, and the gospel is preached in all the world.  Then, the end will come.  Matthew 24:1-18www.messagetokings.com

While in the temple courts, Jesus compares the tithing of a poor widow and a rich arrogant pharisee. The contrast is obvious and apparent, and reveals the disparity of the corrupt religious system and the heart of a true worship.Mark 12:41-44Luke 21:1-41 Samuel 16:7Guest Speaker: Evangeline Heastonwww.messagetokings.com

After facing the Pharisees and their questions, Jesus pronounced the seven or eight woes of the Scribes and Pharisees. Greater will be the judgment of these scribes and pharisees for their condemnation of the only sinless man to walk planet earth. In this episode, we parallel these woes with other verses of judgment about judgment.      Matthew 23:1-39Matthew 12:41-42James 3:1Mark 9:42www.messagetokings.com

A scribe asks Jesus what is the greatest commandment.  In this episode, we dissect these passages from Matthew 22 and Mark 12 and compare it to Deuteronomy 6:5.  Afterward, we will see what happens when Jesus is done with their questions; he asks them a question, a mystery pulled from Psalm 110.  Who is talking in Psalm 110 when David writes "the Lord said to my Lord?" Matthew 22:34-46Mark 12:28-37Luke 20:41-44Deuteronomy 6:5Psalm 110www.messagetokings.com

The Sadducees came to Jesus with one of their stock illustrations, related to the resurrection and marriage, and Jesus answered them with a theological wonder "you are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God." In this episode, we cover the theology of the resurrection of the dead.  Matthew 22:22-23Mark 12:18-27Luke 20:27-401 Corinthians 15:221 Corinthians 15:51-53Hebrews 9:27Romans 14:10www.messagetokings.com

The rulers and authorities sent spies that they might seize Jesus with their words. The question was "should we pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" Paralleling this scene and King Solomon's wisdom, we cover the gift of discernment and the gift of word of wisdom.  Matthew 22:15-22Mark 12:13-17Luke 20:20-26Luke 12:12-12:131 King 3www.messagetokings.com

According to Luke 20:20, the chief priests sent spies who pretended to righteous to Jesus to catch him at his words.  As a consequence of the hypocrisy of the religious leaders and to reveal the age to come, Jesus tells the Parable of the Wedding Feast. The parable reveals the ignorance and judgment of the religious leaders, the age to come, and the wedding supper of the lamb.  Matthew 22:1-14Revelation 19:7-9Revelation 21:1-2Romans 13:14Ephesians 5:24-252 Corinthians 11:2www.messagetokings.com
