Jesus' disciples ask Jesus about the end, "when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age." Jesus answered the first part of the question, with 11 signs of the current age: wars, rumors of wars, false Christs, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, persecution, betrayal, false prophets, lawlessness, and the gospel is preached in all the world.  Then, the end will come.  

Matthew 24:1-18

While in the temple courts, Jesus compares the tithing of a poor widow and a rich arrogant pharisee. The contrast is obvious and apparent, and reveals the disparity of the corrupt religious system and the heart of a true worship.

After facing the Pharisees and their questions, Jesus pronounced the seven or eight woes of the Scribes and Pharisees. Greater will be the judgment of these scribes and pharisees for their condemnation of the only sinless man to walk planet earth. In this episode, we parallel these woes with other verses of judgment about judgment.

A scribe asks Jesus what is the greatest commandment.  In this episode, we dissect these passages from Matthew 22 and Mark 12 and compare it to Deuteronomy 6:5.  Afterward, we will see what happens when Jesus is done with their questions; he asks them a question, a mystery pulled from Psalm 110.  Who is talking in Psalm 110 when David writes "the Lord said to my Lord?"

The Sadducees came to Jesus with one of their stock illustrations, related to the resurrection and marriage, and Jesus answered them with a theological wonder "you are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God." In this episode, we cover the theology of the resurrection of the dead.

The rulers and authorities sent spies that they might seize Jesus with their words. The question was "should we pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" Paralleling this scene and King Solomon's wisdom, we cover the gift of discernment and the gift of word of wisdom.

According to Luke 20:20, the chief priests sent spies who pretended to righteous to Jesus to catch him at his words.  As a consequence of the hypocrisy of the religious leaders and to reveal the age to come, Jesus tells the Parable of the Wedding Feast. The parable reveals the ignorance and judgment of the religious leaders, the age to come, and the wedding supper of the lamb.

The religious leaders send spies among Jesus' followers to try to trick Jesus with complex questions. In this context and the turning of the tables, Jesus tells two parables about a vineyard and the wickedness of the religious leaders. 

The parable of the two sons is about two sons. One is wicked, honest, and repentant and the other is religious, deceitful, and unrepentant.  Which one did the will of the father?

The parable of the wicked vinedresser speaks to the love of the God, that would send prophet after prophet to Israel followed by his own son which would be rejected and killed. The parable was a condemnation of the religious leaders as much as it is a prophetic annotation of the days to come.
