Olivet Discourse (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discourse on the Olivet Discourse, Steve Gregg explores the context and meaning of Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem and the end of the age. While acknowledging the existence of the idea of a seven-year tribulation, he highlights the lack of reference to it being that long in the Bible. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and audience of each gospel account when interpreting Jesus' teachings and advises Christians to be prepared for persecution and martyrdom in any age.
