Onward in Ch. 24 of Matthew

Last Thursday, we looked into the Messiah's word about Jerusalem and its destruction. We will continue that look with a few more questions:

1. 
   Side question: Why doesn't Blessed John mention the destruction of Jerusalem in his gospel account?
   
2. Does Jesus skip a beat when describing the destruction of Jerusalem, THEN the signs of His coming?
   
3. When Jesus was born, it was fitting that a herald should precede Him, known as John the Baptizer. At His second coming, will that be necessary?
   
4. How is it that the stars are visible at night but not during the day?
   
5. What will the sign of the Son of Man actually look like?
   
6. What kind of sign would cause a person to mourn? What do people mourn, normally?
   
7. Why does the sign come first, then Jesus Himself on the clouds? Why not just Jesus Himself, without the sign?
   
8. Will the humiliation of going to confession be too grievous, too large a labor to have carried in 2012 when, some time in the future, that trumpet blast sounds?
   

We can begin preparing for the Holy Spirit to help us by thinking over these questions.
