And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars See that you be not alarmed [for it is] binding [by the decree of God that] all these must come to pass but the consummation is not yet
Comments: Matthew 24:6 There is a consummation at the end of this age, at the battle of Armageddon, and there is a consummation at the end of the age to come—the final fiery purge at the end of the first one thousand years of Christ’s kingdom.
Jesus is speaking of the consummation at the end of this age, which will happen at his physical appearing and second coming to earth with the Armies of Heaven to win the battle of Armageddon Matthew 24:13-14. This will be followed by the Judgment of the Nations and the Marriage Supper (Wedding Feast) of the Lamb, which will be held in Christ’s kingdom on earth Revelation 19:11-16, Matthew 8:11, 22:9-12, Matthew 25:31-46.

Note from the editor: I read my Bible every day, always picking up today where I left off yesterday. I call this my “on-track” Bible reading. I have been doing this for over 44 years. It was the best advice I was ever given, and it changed my life. If you are not presently doing the same, I invite you to join me. How much you read on a daily basis isn’t important. It only matters that you read, feeding your spirit with a prayerful dose of the living and powerful Word of God.
