In this episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bible teacher Bob Hunt, and host Christopher Diaz examine Matthew 24:15–22, focusing on the prophetic warning known as the “Abomination of Desolation.”

What exactly is this desolating abomination—and who stands behind it? Why does Scripture give it such central importance? And what consequences will it unleash upon the world?

One thing is certain: this defining event will mark a pivotal moment for all professing believers alive at that time. Join our panel as they take a deep, Scripture-centered dive into one of the most sobering and consequential events yet to come.

In this examination of Matthew 24:9-14, David Rosenthal, Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz discuss the dire conditions that will characterize Daniel’s 70th Week – the final 7 years of this era of human history.

When the Antichrist comes to power, world cultural conditions will deteriorate as the love of many will turn cold, multitudes will turn from the true God to a false one, and humanism will rise to levels never before seen.

Yet God will not leave this world without a witness as the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ WILL go forth, and though most will reject it, many will embrace it. At that time, those believers who persevere to the end will indeed be saved!

In Part 1 of this in-depth study of Matthew 24 – also known as “the Olivet Discourse" – Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz focus on Jesus' teaching of the End Times – and the opening of the 7 seals.

Though found in Revelation chapter 6, the seal judgments correspond perfectly with the early verses of Matthew 24, and paint a grim picture of what will be happening on Earth during the first half of Daniel’s 70th Week – that is, the final 7 years of this era of human history.

This crucial End Times teaching will introduce you to the questions which led to the Lord’s teaching on this extraordinary time, the Antichrist, and the timing of when these things will occur.
