Olivet Discourse (Part 3)

The Life and Teachings of Christ
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg provides an interpretation of the Olivet Discourse in relation to the events leading up to the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. He argues that "this generation" refers to the contemporary audience of Jesus' time and notes that the phrase "Son of Man coming" should be viewed in context rather than always referring to the second coming. Gregg suggests that the disciples may not have been referring to the second coming when they asked about "the sign of [Christ's] coming," and examines interpretations of the phrase "coming in the clouds" in various passages.
