In this portion of the discourse on the Mount of Olives, Jesus prophetically describes to his disciples the destruction of the temple and the events that will precede it. While these events are long past, there is clear application for us today. We must be on guard, not to be led astray by false teaching and not to fear persecution or the happenings in the world around us. Instead, we are to trust in God's sovereignty and grace and live our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.
