| Jesus Predicted:
The destruction of the temple buildings, the sign of His second coming
and the end of the age in His own generation.
Question:
Referring to the temple buildings, Jesus
said, "Do you see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone
here shall be left upon another, which will not be torn down." Desiring
to know more, the disciples asked, "when will these things be; and what
will be the sign of your coming, and the end of the age?" (Mt.24:1-3;
Mk.13:1-4; Lk.21:5-7) |
