Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses Matthew 24:15-22 and the Olivet Discourse in his talk. He notes that while Luke paraphrases Jesus' words about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, the allusion to Daniel chapter 9 would have been understood by Jewish readers. Jesus also warns of the terrible times ahead for the people of that generation, which was confirmed by historian Josephus. Gregg reminds listeners that the language used in prophecy is often hyperbolic and should be interpreted carefully.
