Latter Parables Of Jesus 14

INTRO: I had not planned to preach this much on the return of Christ, but I am glad the context of these parables have almost required me to do so. I have not studied prophecy much for a number of years, nor have I been challenged on my own conclusions for years. Once more as I delved into eschatology I see how many details I have not yet studied. For example, His coming will be like the lightning that shines from the east to the west. Do you think that is simple? Study that along with other texts of His return and see how it works.

And I also had not planned to include a parable from Mark that occurs chronologically in the Gospels where we are right now. And Luke gives the setting to this parable in Mark and the next one in Matthew, and he gives some very important information the others do not include, though it is only in a very brief passage. And for that reason, I want to include those passages.
