And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Matthew 24:3

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Matthew 24:3

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:27

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:32-33

Jesus Discusses End Time Prophecy

When reading the Olivet Discourse, keep in mind that Jesus is discussing a two-fold prophecy. He is speaking literally to His disciples regarding the Jewish nation and the sacking of Jerusalem by the Roman general Titus in 70 AD. However, His discourse expands farther down the passage of days to our time and the end of the world.
