Mark 13, featuring Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, is a tricky and heavily debated chapter. Here we try to sort that out, looking at the destruction of the temple, future trials and tribulation for God’s people, and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Olivet Discourse is tied to the study of the end times (known as eschatology) – check out last Thursday’s episode and this upcoming Thursday episode for more on this topic!
