His Ministry was unto the Jews ONLY..........More proof of this is found in Matthew ch. 10, he sent forth the 12 and their disciples, but he told them NOT TO GO unto the Gentiles, only unto the Jews !! Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Just because he HAD MERCY doesn't mean that was whom he was sent unto, thus his teachings were into the Jews only, the Disciples were to take the Gospel unto the world, that was not Jesus' Ministry. The scriptures tell you who he was sent unto. Matthew 24 is very specific and easy to understand except those who try to make it something is not. 1.) Matthew 24:1-6 is from Jesus to the 70 AD Event. 2. Matthew 24:7-14 is about the Jews taking the Gospel unto the world, being killed along the way and Jesus telling them the Gospel would be preached unto all the World TEN THE END Would come, this it reverts back to the Jews and the End Times. 3. Matthew 24:15-31 is the Tribulation period that the Jews go through, thus Jesus says FLEE JUDEA.......Meaning Jews !! 4. Matthew 24:36-51 is the Rapture, some Jews will be Raptured, but Jesus was very vague on this subject, so much so Matthew doesn't even understand it, he places it out of the order it should be in. Of course he would think its all the way at the end.  All of this is to the Jews. Was Matthew 24 to Israel or the Jews only? The Jews are one tribe of Israel similar to California is one state in the USA. 21And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. The House of Israel and the House of Judah split apart. Those we know in the land of Israel today are Jews and Benjamin known as the House of Judah but not all those from the House of Israel are Jews.

There were really no believers yet, just followers. The Disciples really did not believe until the resurrection. John 6:66-69 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Maybe I don't understand what you mean by what you say here, but on the face of it, I am compelled to disagree. Peter seems to be making a strong, clear statement of faith in Christ here. We may just be quibbling over the meanings of a few words. Speaking of Peter, he fell in the garden, but was restored in John 21, which happened before Christ's ascension. When you said 'The Disciples really did not believe until the resurrection." were you referring to Christ's ascension? I'm not jumping down your throat, just looking for clarification. Thank you for your patience. I realize that I can be quite dense at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's no rapture in Matthew 24 then what is this a reference to? And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Matthew 24:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. Matthew 24:9 Are the Jews are going to be killed and hated by all nations because of the name of Jesus? I don't think so. It's clearly a message to Christians for the last days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
