Part 3b of the Matthew 24 series on the “Olivet Discourse.” This week will look at part two (2) of BLM (Black Lives Matter) examining the organization behind the movement as it relates to the overview of the rumors, nations rising against nations, natural disasters, and birth pangs that will occur during the tribulation period which reveal signs of Christ’s return. 

July 26, 2020 – Signs of Christ’s Return, Pt. 3b – “Ethnos*” – Matthew 24:7-8

This begins a part two (2) of the series within Matthew 24 on the social topic of *”Ethnos” [definition: noun, from Greek ēthos, ‘nature, disposition,’ the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations] regarding “Black Lives Matter” (BLM). Black lives do matter, but not because they are solely black. 

Signs of Christ’s Return‘ 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.  8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.” ‘ Matthew 24:7-8 NASB

5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.‘ 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 NASB

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. ‘ Colossians 2:8 NASB
