Matthew 24 End Times Overview pt1 - The Church Age and the Rapture

End Times Overview: God's Prophetic Roadmap – Part 1 What does the Bible actually teach about the End Times? How do the books of Daniel, Matthew, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation fit together into one unified prophetic timeline? In this first message End Times Overview, we step back to see the "big picture" of Bible prophecy. Rather than focusing on every detail, we lay the foundation by tracing God's prophetic roadmap from the present Church Age through to the eternal state. In this message we explore: • Why Bible prophecy matters • The importance of interpreting prophecy correctly • God's prophetic timeline from beginning to end • The Church Age and where we are today • The biblical case for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture • Daniel's 70 Weeks and God's plan for Israel • The Tribulation, the Second Coming, the Millennial Kingdom, and the New Heaven and New Earth • How the major prophetic passages fit together into one coherent timeline Our goal is not merely to satisfy curiosity about future events, but to deepen our confidence in God's Word, strengthen our hope in Christ's return, and encourage us to live faithfully as we await our Blessed Hope.
