A closer and more personal application of the Olivet prophecy. Now is the time as never before to be zealous, and show God we are still among the faithful.

    Advancing into our 21st Century Dr. Ward reminds us of Jesus Christ’s dramatic warning & appeal towards His true followers as expressed in His ‘Sermon on the Mount.’ Stir us up & develop our spiritual talents freely given to us by God while avoiding the callous escapist attitude of wondering ‘where is the promise of Christ’s return’ but redeeming the time as the days of our present lawless society are evil: turning good into evil while promoting & appraising evil. 5 aspects of the Olivet Prophecy are addressed in Mat 24/25 in connection with the Kingdom of God: ‘what’ ‘when’ ‘reward’ ‘rulership’ & ‘punishment,’ 3 parables are introduced by Jesus Christ: ‘ten virgins’, ‘talents’ & ‘loving our neighbor’. Our attitude & the fruit of our character will determine the amount of ‘oil’ we’ll possess but let us not forget that Christ’s return shall come like a ‘thief during the night.’ In Dr. Wards own words: “our sets of ‘right & wrong’ as Christians in the Church of God does not hinge upon the culture of the day; it hinges upon the word of God.” Now is the time for developing the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22-23) & taking our calling seriously since our own salvation is at stake.
