Mark 13

The Olivet Discourse

1. The disciples are praising the temple
2. Jesus says it will be destroyed
3. The disciples ask when
4. Jesus gives them a list of signs that will precede the destruction of the temple:

a. False Christs
b. Political changes
c. Natural phenomenon
d. Persecution
e. Gospel spread to all nations
f. An abomination causing desolation
g. Disciples flee to mountains
h. Judgment from Christ in heaven

5. Jesus gives the timing of all this. It will occur within the generation of his disciples. So they should be on guard and watch.

All these things were fulfilled in the first century
