The Titus Arch in Rome that celebrates the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD by Titus as Matthew 24 prophesied.

The signs of Matthew 24 prophecies the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD not the second coming and certainly not some "Rapture" theology that was invented in 1830 AD by John Darby. When Christians saw the signs, they fled the city and were saved.

The four parallel passages of Matthew 24

Introduction:

1.      Most people who believe in the Rapture are generally only familiar with a single passage, Matthew 24. They are completely surprised to learn that there are, in fact, three other parallel passages in the gospels that talk about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Romans.

2.      By closely studying all four passages in context, we learn that these texts are discussing the destruction of the temple not the second coming and certainly not the rapture.

3.      Here is a sequential parallel of Matthew 24.
