In this continuation of our study on the Second Coming, we turn from the Old Testament to Matthew chapter 24—what’s been rightly called “the little apocalypse.” This is Jesus’ own prophetic discourse given from the Mount of Olives just two days before His crucifixion, providing us with a condensed version of the Book of Revelation.
Matthew 24 gives us the complete timeline: the birth pains that increase in frequency and intensity, the great Tribulation of the final three and a half years, and then “immediately after the tribulation of those days”—Christ’s return. This isn’t the Rapture we’re seeing here; this is the second phase of His coming when He returns to earth with His saints to defeat the Antichrist at Armageddon.
Notice the key characteristics of this return: it’s literal and physical—”this same Jesus” is coming back. It’s visible—”as lightning flashes from east to west,” every eye will see Him. It’s glorious—He comes “on the clouds with power and great glory.” And remarkably, it’s both vengeful toward the unbelieving and gracious toward His elect. This will be the greatest rescue operation and the most decisive judgment in human history.

The Persian Storm: Bible Prophecy and Iran’s Last Threat to Israel
In The Persian Storm, biblical prophecy expert Dr. Mark Hitchcock shows you exactly why Iran will continue to be dangerous, tracing the striking link between today’s volatility and ancient Scripture. With a Scripture-first approach—without hype or sensationalism—Hitchcock helps you explore the prophecies involving Persia (modern-day Iran) and its long, defiant posture toward Israel, giving you a grounded way to understand what matters and why. You’ll learn how to:
* Understand key Bible prophecies with greater clarity and confidence, and the role of the United States and Israel
* Evaluate current events through a steady biblical lens (without chasing headlines)
* Live with greater peace and readiness instead of fear and confusion
* Stay spiritually alert as you anticipate the return of Jesus
As you explore the biblical books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where the Bible records many predictions about the region known as Mesopotamia or Persia, you’ll dig deeper into ancient prophecies that will shed light on important questions for the present day, like:
* Do these interpretations still hold true today?
* What about a possible invasion of Israel?
* Does Iran still plan to wipe Israel off the map?
* And what about the role of the United States in Bible prophecy?
The Persian Storm is a sober, hope-filled guide to help you discern prophetic truth and face the future with confidence—because prophecy is meant to prepare you, not scare you.
