Do you
remember what Jesus predicted on leaving the temple? (Mark 13)
“There shall not be
left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down”
No wonder four
disciples follow Him up with questions on the Mount of Olives!...starting with:
“WHEN...?”
Notice
carefully that Jesus NEVER answers that question of ‘when?’...but proceeds to
teach them about what awaits the faithful remnant of Israel.
In fact, there is NO RECORD anywhere in Holy Scripture of the destruction of that 2nd temple which can no longer be seen on Temple Mount! In other words, there is a far more important series of events in the future...
- False christs
- Wars, earthquakes, famines...
- Arrests & beatings
- The gospel preached to ALL NATIONS
- Family betrayals
- Hatred by ALL MEN
...and these
are only the ‘beginning of sorrows’ – just like the onset of childbirth pain. It
gets much worse!
NEXT: Time
to flee!
