Jesus confronted the Jewish religious leaders and mourned Jerusalem for rejecting their Messiah. As Jesus was leaving Jerusalem, His disciples were commenting on the beauty of the temple. Jesus told them that the temple would be destroyed. This shocked them because they thought Jesus was establishing the Kingdom and that Jerusalem would be the capital. They had to ask more questions about the end of the age and the Kingdom. Jesus’ reply became what we call the Olivet Discourse. Jesus’ intentions are to meet the disciples where they’re at and answer their questions. What must we keep in mind as we begin to study the Olivet Discourse?
