In the part of the world where I live there is an obsession with predicting the future, how about where you live? Gambling has become big business here as millions of people bet on future sporting events or political elections.

Even when Jesus was here on earth, some of His closest followers occasionally asked Jesus for clarity about the future. Matt. 24 describes one of Jesus’ most significant discussions about the future, prompted by this question from His disciples: “…what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” (Matt. 24:3)
