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.

28Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.
29So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.
30Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
