  • PAR016 The Faithful Servant

    La parabole du figuier bourgeonnant, rapportée par Matthieu, Marc et Luc dans leur discours eschatologique, invite les disciples à discerner les signes annonciateurs du retour du Messie. Comme les bourgeons annoncent l'été, les événements du monde annoncent la proximité du Royaume de Dieu. La parole du Christ est éternelle et sûre : le ciel et la terre passeront, mais elle demeure.

    Mark 13.28-31 (King James Version) :
    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

  • PER301 The eschatological discourse on the Mount of Olives

    Analysis of Jesus’ eschatological discourse on the Mount of Olives, based on the Gospels. Jesus speaks of the destruction of the Temple and the coming of the end times, revealing his prophetic abilities and the continuity of his mission after the crucifixion. Intended for readers who wish to deepen their theological understanding.

    Luke 21.5-24 (King James Version) :
    And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.And it shall turn to you for a testimony.Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.But there shall not an hair of your head perish.In your patience possess ye your souls.And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

  • PER304 Parable of the faithful servant

    This article examines the parable of the faithful servant, stressing the importance of faithfulness and vigilance while awaiting the Lord's return, which is certain but unpredictable.

    Matthew 24.45-51 (King James Version) :
    Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
