The Eschatological Discourse of Jesus in Matthew 24:1-26:2 is unique by virtue of its concluding position and the summarizing addition of "all" to its transitional formula. In addition, whereas Jesus' words in the other four major discourses speak in part regarding events beyond the temporal boundaries of Matthew's Gospel and focus on eschatological events and meaning, this discourse is completely dedicated to "future" events and the proper understanding of those events. Accordingly, an in-depth examination of this discourse possesses an intrinsic value for those who wish to understand the eschatological perspective and message of the first canonical Gospel.
This book is a significant contribution to scholarship on eschatology in Matthew's Gospel. As a narrative study, the book combines careful attention to the text and solid theological insights into Jesus' teaching on the eschaton.
