About This Project

What will the world look like at the end of time?

In Episode 36 of Kingdom Come, Pastor Tim Hatch teaches through Matthew 24–25, known as the Olivet Discourse. This is Jesus’ final sermon before His arrest, and it answers urgent questions about the end of the age, the coming judgment, the return of Christ, and the faithfulness required of His people.

Jesus warns His disciples that the world will be marked by deception, wars, persecution, lawlessness, false prophets, and spiritual confusion. Yet He also makes clear that His people do not need to live in fear. The faithful Church will endure, proclaim the Gospel, remain spiritually prepared, and continue serving until the King returns.
