Matthew 24:1-31 Compared With Mark 13, Daniel & Josephus + What Jesus Really Told the Rich Young Ruler (Matthew 19)
From Christopher Enoch’s Podcast · 1:42:42
Show by Christopher Enoch
Christopher Enoch conducts an evidence-based textual and historical study of Matthew 24:1-31 alongside Mark 13, Luke 21, the Book of Daniel, 1 & 2 Maccabees, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, and first-century historian Flavius Josephus. We separate what the text actually establishes from inference and tradition across four major claims: why only Matthew adds 'parousia' (your coming) and 'the end of the age' to the disciples' question, why only Matthew names Daniel at the abomination of desolation in the critical text, how Old Testament prophets used darkened sun, moon, and falling stars for political collapse, and why the sign of the Son of Man, mourning tribes, and trumpet appear only in Matthew. In the second part of the broadcast, Christopher responds in depth to a viewer's critique on Matthew 19:16-22, examining whether Jesus saying 'Follow me' to the rich young ruler replaced keeping the commandments for eternal life.
