Sharon Doran explores Mark 13, explaining why Bethphage and the Sanhedrin mattered, the meaning behind the cursed fig tree and temple cleansing, and how Jesus’ Olivet discourse foretells persecution, false messiahs, and the destruction of the temple.

The episode connects Jesus’ warnings to historical fulfillments and practical application: stay vigilant against deception, rely on the Spirit in suffering, and endure in faith.
