The Lord continues the eschatological discourse by warning us with two striking parables: the parable of the ten virgins and the parable of the talents. Both warn us to prepare for the end times and our judgment. Exactly when we will face these events is unknown to us. Are you prepared?

The disciples question the Lord about the end times in Matthew 24. He reveals many details about the near future and the Second Coming. This chapter also contains a passage often used to promote "the rapture," but is that interpretation correct or just wishful thinking?

Drawing from the Epistle reading from St Paul's Letter to Timothy, and the Gospel story of the Canaanite woman, Hieromonk Vasily (Permiakov) explores the transformative power of humility, faith, and perseverance in seeking Christ's mercy. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our brokenness and confessing our need for salvation, echoing the woman’s persistent plea for her daughter’s healing.

This homily by the Very Rev. Dr Alexander Rentel reflects on the Gospel passage from Luke 18, where a blind man recognizes Jesus as the "Son of David" and receives healing through faith. Fr Alexander emphasizes the contrast between the crowd’s superficial recognition of Jesus and the blind man's profound spiritual insight, illustrating the "upside-down" nature of God's kingdom, where the vulnerable, needy, sick, and marginalized often display the deepest faith. He calls on Christians to emulate this faith through humility, compassion, kindness, and reliance on God's promises as revealed in Scripture.

Religious leaders in Jerusalem are determined to put Jesus to death, but they need a reason to report him to the Romans. A trap is set for him, followed by other questions and challenges, but Jesus responds brilliantly and stumps them with his own question.

Some titles for the expected Messiah seem strange to us, such as "Everlasting Father" or "Angel of Great Council." But the Fathers of the Church understood their great significance and will explain them to us as we conclude this short series on the Messianic prophecies.
