If you want to have a discussion about Bible prophesy, I'd love to hear from you, although there is no universally agreed count. One commonly cited estimate is about 2,500 prophecies: 2,000 having been fulfilled and 500 yet to be fulfilled. These are estimates, since people differ on what counts as a separate prophecy and whether it has been fulfilled. you can find my email and messenger contact links on the home page, I'd love to hear from you, we are certainly living through interesting times and I for one believe we're in end times. Lets talk.

The Olivet Discourse is Jesus’ teaching His disciples on the Mount of Olives. It is recorded in Matthew 24–25, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

The disciples asked Jesus about the destruction of the temple, His coming and the end of the age. Jesus told them to remain watchful for several signs:

Religious deception — people would claim to be the Christ and lead many astray.
Wars and rumours of wars — conflict between nations and kingdoms.
Famines, pestilences and earthquakes — troubles occurring in various places.
Persecution of believers — His followers would be hated, betrayed and even killed because of their faith in Him.
A falling away and betrayal — many would become offended, betray one another and hate one another.
False prophets — deceptive teachers would arise and mislead many people.
Increasing lawlessness — wickedness would grow, causing the love of many to become cold.
The gospel preached throughout the world — the message of Christ would reach all nations.
The abomination of desolation — Jesus referred to Daniel’s prophecy concerning a terrible desecration connected with Jerusalem and the temple.
Great tribulation — a period of extraordinary suffering and distress.
Signs in the heavens — the sun would be darkened, the moon would cease to give its light, and the powers of the heavens would be shaken.
The visible return of Jesus — the Son of Man would come in the clouds with power and great glory.
The gathering of God’s people — angels would gather His elect from across the earth.

Jesus compared these signs to a fig tree. When its branches become tender and leaves appear, people know that summer is near. In the same way, the signs would show that His coming was drawing near.

The main message of the Olivet Discourse is readiness. Jesus told His followers to watch, pray, remain faithful and continue serving Him. He encouraged them to endure and to live each day prepared for His return.

The signs point us towards hope. History is moving towards the return of Jesus Christ, and believers are called to remain steady, faithful and spiritually awake.

Are you ready for His return!

Matthew 24:1-44 NKJV

Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. [2] And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" [4] And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. [5] For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. [6] And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [9] "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. [10] And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. [11] Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. [12] And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. [13] But he who endures to the end shall be saved. [14] And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. [15] "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), [16] "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. [17] Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. [18] And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. [19] But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! [20] And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. [21] For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. [23] "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. [24] For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. [25] See, I have told you beforehand. [26] "Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. [27] For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. [28] For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. [29] "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. [30] Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. [31] And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [32] "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. [33] So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near-at the doors! [34] Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. [35] Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. [36] "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. [37] But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. [38] For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, [39] and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. [40] Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. [41] Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. [42] Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. [43] But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. [44] Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Taken from the book of Daniel

Daniel contains several prophetic passages that speak to the uncertainty we see today and encourage us to place our hope in God. These are all from the NKJV.

Daniel 2:44 — God’s kingdom will endure

“And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”

Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream about earthly kingdoms and God’s everlasting kingdom. Its relevance today: governments and world powers change, while God’s kingdom remains secure. Our lasting hope rests in Him.

Daniel 7:14 — The everlasting rule of the Son of Man

“Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.”

Christians understand this passage as pointing to Jesus, who used the title “Son of Man.” Its relevance today: Christ’s authority reaches across every nation and culture. Whatever happens around us, we can live with confidence in His ultimate rule.

Daniel 12:2 — Resurrection and eternal accountability

“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.”

This prophecy looks towards resurrection and judgement. Its relevance today: our lives have eternal significance. It encourages us to take our relationship with God seriously and share the hope of everlasting life with others.

Daniel 12:3 — Leading others towards righteousness

“Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.”

Its relevance today: helping others know God and walk in His ways has lasting value. A quiet conversation about Jesus, faithful discipleship, and the example of a godly life can carry eternal significance.

Together, these passages encourage us to trust God’s rule, remain faithful to Jesus, and help others know Him. Christians differ over some details of Daniel’s prophetic timetable, while these central truths provide firm encouragement for daily life.
