The disciples of Jesus saw the beauty and majesty of the Jewish temple, but they couldn’t see the fate of this remarkable building. When Jesus foretold the destruction of the iconic Jewish landmark, his response triggered the disciples to ask a deeper question: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:13 ESV)
Because of this question, Jesus foretold the important things that would happen shortly before He came again. Not only that, Jesus directed their attention to several key points, as these things would surely change their thoughts, mindsets and perspectives.
