Mark 13:1-2

Watch and Endure: Temple Judgment, Gospel Witness, Tribulation, the Son of Man, and Readiness

Mark 13 moves from Jesus' prediction of temple destruction, to warnings against deception, persecution, and premature alarm, to gospel witness among all nations, to the abomination and urgent flight from Judea, to tribulation and false christs, to cosmic signs and the coming of the Son of Man, and finally to watchfulness because the exact day and hour are unknown.

1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!”

2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”
