In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 24:29-35, contrasting the kingdom present in the heart (Sermon on the Mount) with the future kingdom revealed in the Olivet Discourse, asserting that belief in Christ's return is necessary to justify the hardships of living as a kingdom citizen now. Jesus details the immediate post-distress cosmic cataclysms, the visible arrival of the Son of Man on the clouds with power and great glory to gather His elect, and instructs believers to interpret these signs—which will occur within a single generation—as assurance that He is "near, at the door".
