THE OLIVET DISCOURSETHREE OBSERVATIONS FROM MY OWN PROCESS OF STUDYThis is My Beloved Son. Listen to Him.As it is written … Let the Reader UnderstandTHE INTERPRETATIONv14-23 - The Abomination of Desolationv24-27 - The Son of Manv28-31 - The Lesson of the Fig TreeTHREE TAKEAWAYSThat was a lot of work!Jesus is the Son of Man in Power and GloryGod’s purpose is not that we would suffer in judgement, but that we would suffer like him in mission. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace. For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not shed its light. All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree. v13 - I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
v14 - And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.
Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.
