Is Jesus a Failed Prophet? Surveying Matthew 24

Jesus gives some fantastic prophecies in Matthew 24 about a tribulation worse than any in history, about the stars falling and the moon darkening, and about the love of many believers growing cold in the face of overwhelming persecution. He also provides a timeline for the fulfillment of those fantastic prophecies when He says, “…this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” The faith of many has faltered in the face of what appears to be a failed prophecy on the part of Jesus, but careful study reveals that Jesus was not mistaken at all, in fact, besides the resurrection itself, these fulfilled prophecies may be the most compelling piece of historical evidence we have to share with skeptics and critics.
