In this portion of the chapter, the wording is some of the most vivid and powerful that we find in scripture. However, the question remains: is this a description of the destruction of Jerusalem or of the end of time when the Lord comes on a cloud? We will look at these questions in our study. ![]()

Our study begins with verse 15 talking about the "abomination of desolation" that is talked about in the book of Daniel. What does this mean? They are given instructions about their flight and the warning against false christs and false prophets. Are these things talking about the end of time or the destruction of Jerusalem, or something else? We examine them in this study. ![]()

Before Jesus' crucifixion, the disciples are in Jerusalem and marveling at the sights of the Temple. Jesus shockingly tells them there was coming a time when there wouldn't be one stone left on top of another. In their amazement, they want to know when these things will be. In this chapter, which is one of the most disputed in the Bible, we look at their question and Jesus' response. ![]()

In the final week of Jesus' life before crucifixion and in what we assume is his final public discourse, the Son of God issues some of the harshest rebukes in all of scriptures. The scribes and Pharisees were sitting in Moses' seat teaching the people, yet their lives were full of hypocrisy and sin. In this study we focus on the first part of this discourse. ![]()
