STUDY NOTES
SUBJECT: COSMIC DISTURBANCE
BIBLE TEACHER: CLIFTON JONES
INTRODUCTION
The titles, Cosmic Disturbance or Celestial Disturbance are not found in scripture
They are the titles given by theologians to identify what is taught in scripture
God’s Celestial Disturbance is often referred to in scripture, it is a significant event
Which is known as the Cosmic Disturbance, an important event, that Christians must understand
Why is it so important?
Because it will be a message from God for the True Church
Christians need to understand today what that event will tell the True Church in that day
It will also be a warning to the world, Christians need to understand what that warning will be
The Comic Disturbance is an announcement to the church and a warning to the world
It is important because it will occur before the return of Christ to the earth takes place
At the time of the return of Christ the wrath of God will fall upon Satan and the sinful earth
The day of God’s wrath is identified in scripture as the “Day of the Lord”
The Day of the Lord is not the same time-period as the tribulation or the “Great Tribulation”
The Day of the Lord will not take place without a warning from God
That warning from God will be a world-wide warning, no one will miss it, all will see it
From heaven and from earth, God will warn the world of the coming of the Day of the Lord
Our present world has a great interest in the heavens above, which is a major study of our day
Science is continually seeking to know more about the heavenly bodies in relation to earth
Satellites and space stations now send information throughout the earth
One day God’s heavenly bodies will have a message for the world, and all will see and hear it
The Cosmic Disturbance will announce the beginning of the Day of the Lord on the earth
God revealed the fact of the Day of the Lord to several OT prophets, that day will come
God has also revealed the fact of the Day of the Lord in the New Testament
Bible scholars agree, the Day of the Lord will come, the debate is, when does it begin?
An understanding of the Cosmic Disturbance will help us identify the time of the Day of the Lord
There are many questions that need to be answered concerning the future of the saved and the lost
Bible scholars agree, God will rapture the church, the debate is, when will it happen?
An understanding of the Cosmic Disturbance will help us identify the time of the rapture
There are other events that we know will take place, but again the question is, in what order?
Is there a future day for Satan, a day that could be called “Satan’s Day?”
If so, will there be a sign that Satan’s Day has-come to a conclusion, that Satan’s day is over?
The answer is, yes, that sign will be the Cosmic Disturbance, it is an important future event
The disciples had some questions for Jesus as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, Mat 24:3 And as he sat
upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
The disciples had three questions for Jesus: (1) When shall these things be?
Jesus had told them of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them,
See ye not all these things?
verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.
Luke’s account gives us the answer to the first question, Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see
Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Jesus is giving a chronological order of the events that will occur before the end of this age
His words are what is known as a Near/Far Prophecy or prophecy of Double Fulfillment
Things that would soon occur, a near prophecy, and would be a foreshadow of future events
Page 1 of 6
The same event would be a far prophecy, a type of that which will occur in the future
The words of Jesus were fulfilled in A.D. 70 when the Romans destroyed the temple
What the Romans did in A.D. 70 is a type of what will happen to the Jews again in the future
Which will be during the 70th Week of Daniel, and known as the “Abomination of Desolation”
There is a parallel between the desolation in A.D.70 and that within the 70th Week of Daniel
Jerusalem will again be destroyed by the people of another prince who is yet to come
Antichrist will be the prince to come, Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
In Matthew 24 Jesus is describing events that will take place in the 70th week of Daniel
Which is the final 7 years of the prophesied 490 years described in Daniel 9:24-27
The first 483 years have already literally been fulfilled and the final 7 years is yet to come
There is a time gap between the fulfillment of the 483 years and the final 7 years
We are still living within the time gap and waiting for the final 7 years to begin
Many call the final 7 years the “Tribulation,” but scripture identifies it as the 70th week of Daniel
The 70th week begins when the Antichrist makes a covenant with the nation of Israel (Dan 9:27)
In the middle of the week (7 years) the Antichrist is going to break the covenant, after 3 ½ years
That prophecy is what Jesus is describing in, Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
It is an event that we are to watch for, Jesus said we will be able to see it and identify it
The Abomination of Desolation will also be the beginning of the Great Tribulation, Mat 24:21 For then
shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall
be.
The Great Tribulation will be Satan’s attack upon God’s chosen nation, Israel
It will also be a time of violent persecution inflicted by the Antichrist upon the followers of Christ
The time-period that we can call Satan’s Day, the Great Tribulation will be Satan’s day of wrath
Satan’s day of wrath is yet to come, which will be a unique time-period, one of a kind
The world has yet to see what Jesus is describing, we could be the generation that will see it
The Cosmic Disturbance will announce the conclusion of Satan’s day, he will be defeated
Back to the questions of the disciples, the second question, what will be the sign of thy coming?
Referring to what Jesus had said to them in, Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
The disciples wanted to know when Jesus would return, would they know that He had come?
Would God give them a sign to reveal the coming of Jesus?
Notice that they did not ask for “signs” (plural) they asked for a “sign” (singular)
Something that would be distinct, they wanted something supernatural from God
Let’s consider their third question, “What will be the sign of the end of the world?”
“World” must be understood as the world in which we now live and understand it
“Age” is the best translation, meaning the time in which the disciples were living
Which is the same age that we are living in today, so, what will be the sign of the end of the age?
The disciples thought His coming “in the name of the Lord” would be the end of the present age
Jesus is going to answer their questions, but not in the order in which they were asked
In Matthew Jesus answers the third question first, there is a reason why Jesus does that
Jesus is giving us a chronological order of events that will occur at the time of His 2nd coming
The sign of the “End of the Age” is found in, Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Jesus’ answer to the third question relates to the answer for the first question
