Mark 13 (Part 1)
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delves into a biblical exegesis of Mark 13, revealing that Jesus speaks mainly about the coming destruction of Jerusalem and Israel, along with the persecution of his disciples. The phrase "this generation" refers to the people living at the time, rather than a future generation, and the sign of the approaching destruction would be the surrounding of Jerusalem by pagan armies or the abomination of desolation. Gregg highlights the importance of accurately interpreting past biblical prophecies and avoiding reading personal interpretations into the passage.
