The Olivet Discoures Made Easy

by Kenneth L Gentry

Christ's teaching on the great tribulation has long intrigued and transfixed Christians. This is especially true in the modern evangelical church today. What Bible-believing Christian has not been alarmed by Christ's prophetic warning about a time in which men will experience "wars and rumors of wars" (Matt 24:6)? "Famines and earthquakes" (Matt 24:7)? "False prophets" who "will mislead many" (Matt 24:10)? These are fearsome images presented by our Lord to his people.
Unfortunately, most Christians leap into the Olivet Discourse with little understanding of how Matthew carefully sets it into the context of Jesus' whole ministry. As a result they wholly misconstrue its message. Since Jesus gave us this much prophetic material and at the very climax of his ministry, we need to understand it as he intended.
In this work, Dr. Gentry re-issues the call of the discourse "let the reader understand" (Matt. 24:15b).

Excellent exegesis of Matthew 24 set within the full context of Matthew’s Gospel and understood in light of Old Testament apocalyptic language. This study provides a clear understanding of our Lord’s discourse.

[Christian Salazar · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought it would be basic argument for Preterism which’s main punch would consist of historical arguments. Yet this book is mainly scholarly exegesis which allows scripture to interpret scripture with additional historical quotes as corroboration. Short yet great scholarly read!

This book was amazing, eye opening, and thought provoking. I highly recommend anyone read it, no matter your eschatological leanings.
