In the Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, Peter, James, John, and Andrew disciples of Jesus, came to Him privately asking Him about the signs of His coming and the end of the age. Although filled with hidden mysteries, in these passages, Jesus told them plainly what He knew, including their ark-building assignment for preparing for the things to come. Once He told them everything He knew, which, of course, excluded the day and hour of His coming, He then asked them a very profound, and I’m sure, non-rhetorical question: “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? (Matthew 24:45).

Although regular nourishment for the soul is vital for the Christian life, when Jesus was telling His disciples the signs, not only were they spiritual (wickedness, hatred, betrayal, deceit, etc.), many were physical (earthquakes, famine, pestilences, wars, national and kingdom divisions, persecution and murder of Christians, worldwide preaching of the gospel, the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, signs in the sky, etc.). Therefore, it only makes sense that when Jesus asked who will give them their food, loving them enough to feed and take care of His sheep, He was likely not only referring to spiritual food but also physical food.

In the book of Revelation, Jesus revealed much about the end times to His Apostle, John. During the time of the flood, He revealed much about building an Ark of safety to Noah. And as in the days of Noah, John, Peter, James, and Andrew, He wants to reveal much to His servants in these last days. Through God’s spirit and a series of questions in this workbook, wise and faithful servants of God will be guided into hearing Jesus’ end time revelation to you.
