Olivet Discourse

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In the "Olivet Discourse," a passage found in the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus discusses the destruction of the Jewish temple and the end of the Jewish age or era. The discourse covers topics such as wars, famines, and the signs of the end of times. While the disciples' questions about signs of Jesus' coming are likely referring to his return to set up his kingdom on earth in Jerusalem, Jesus emphasizes that no one knows when the end of the world will come.
