The beginning of birth pains refers to the troubles Jesus said would precede His return, including wars, famines, and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7–8; Mark 13:8). Like labor pains before a birth, these events increase in intensity and frequency as His coming approaches. This study explains the disciples’ questions, distinguishes the temple’s destruction from Christ’s return, and considers how we should be prepared.

Jesus said, “My hour has not yet come” in John 2:4 because He followed His Father’s appointed timetable. In John 7:6 and 7:8, He expresses the same principle using the word “time.” His Father ordained every event in His life. This is why we see Him saying He "must" do certain things, why He avoided being killed and arrested at certain times, and even why He avoided becoming King before the triumphal entry.

Daniel 9:26 and Luke 21:6 both foretold the destruction of Jerusalem and the second temple, which the Romans carried out in AD 70. Daniel 9:26 (ESV) says, “the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.” I understand “the people” to refer to the Romans and “the prince who is to come” to refer to the future Antichrist. At the Triumphal Entry, Jesus wept over Jerusalem and warned of its coming destruction. The disciples still marveled at the temple, so Jesus told them in Luke 21:6 (ESV), “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Daniel 9:24–25 connects the command to rebuild Jerusalem with the coming of Messiah the Prince. Scott LaPierre explains the seventy weeks, the sixty-nine weeks leading to the Messiah, and the chronology he understands to point to Jesus' triumphal entry.

The times of the Gentiles is the period during which Jerusalem is under Gentile domination, lasting until the limit God has appointed. Jesus describes this in Luke 21:24. Paul uses a different expression in Romans 11:25: the fullness of the Gentiles coming in. One passage emphasizes Jerusalem; the other emphasizes Gentile salvation and Israel’s partial hardening.

First Corinthians 5:8 teaches Christians to keep the feast spiritually by living in sincerity and truth, not by returning to the Old Covenant feast calendar as a requirement. Paul writes in the ESV, “Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven... but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” This follows his statement that “Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7). The biblical feasts in Leviticus 23 point to Christ, and this study explains how believers celebrate their fulfillment in Him.

The three fall feasts of the Lord are Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles (Booths). Leviticus 23:23–44 places them in the seventh month of Israel’s calendar, called Tishri: Trumpets on the first day, Atonement on the tenth, and Tabernacles beginning on the fifteenth. Their September or October dates vary from year to year.

The four end-times approaches discussed here are postmillennialism, amillennialism, premillennialism, and preterism. The first three differ over the thousand years in Revelation 20:1–8 and the timing of Christ’s return. Preterism asks which prophecies have already been fulfilled, so it can overlap with a millennial view.
