ISB ~ Mark 13 v1 - 37

Commonly called the Olivet Discourse or “Little Apocalypse”, in which Jesus teaches his disciples at length about the imminent destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple (A.D. 70). This coming catastrophe will mark the expiration of the Old Covenant and bring God’s vengeance on those who have rejected Jesus as the Messiah. The Temple’s demise is also a prophetic sign of the end of the world (CCC 585-86). See essay:End of the World? at Mt 24.
