Olivet Discourse - When? What?

Summary

The sermon explores the Olivet Discourse found in Mark 13 and parallels in Matthew and Luke, focusing on Jesus' prophecy about the destruction of the temple and the judgment upon that generation. The preacher argues that the discourse primarily refers to the first-century destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 rather than the end of the world. He emphasizes the importance of watching and living faithfully in anticipation of Christ's return, highlighting the immediacy and certainty of judgment and salvation. The message concludes with a call to vigilance and readiness for Jesus' coming.
