DEEPER: The Last Days!

This week’s lesson starts with a very brief story at the end of Mark 12:1-44, where Jesus makes a profound statement about a small act by a widow. The main portion of this week’s lesson, however, deals with Mark 13:1-37, a striking prophecy about the fate of the Jerusalem temple and more. This chapter, along with its parallels in Matthew 24:1-51; Luke 21:1-38, tell about the fall of Jerusalem and beyond, even to the end of the world.

What Mark 13:1-37 makes quite clear is that the prophecy goes from the time of the prophet, Jesus, to the time of the end, His second coming. This pattern follows what is known as “the historicist interpretation of end-time prophecy,” as opposed to the attempt to put these prophecies in the past or way off into the future.

Like many teachings of Jesus in Mark, the Lord’s instruction is in response to a question or a misunderstanding by His disciples. These questions or misunderstandings give Jesus the opportunity to teach truths vital to Christian life and experience. Jesus not only predicts the future but also instructs His disciples both then and now in how to prepare for the coming trials.
