An Interpretation of Matthew 24–25 (Part 36)
by Thomas Ice
Passage: Matthew 24-25
Christ’s final parable of Matthew 24 teaches lessons of faithfulness in service to our Lord in light of His return as mention in verses 27–31. This parable, like all of the other parables of Christ, relates to Israel, especially in light of her rejection of the Messiahship of Jesus. Since all of these parables are focused upon the return of Christ, this one emphasizes proper behavior in light of the absence of Jesus between the two comings. Mark does not record this parable, but Luke does in a different context (12:41–46)...

An Interpretation of Matthew 24–25 (Part 39)
by Thomas Ice
Passage: Matthew 24-25
The third and final section of Matthew 25 is a key New Testament passage that includes the sheep and goats judgment after the second coming. This final section of the Olivet Discourse (found only in Matthew) is a difficult passage for some preterists and all posttribulationists to handle. However, the dispensationalist has no problem understanding it since he takes it to mean exactly what it says...
