What is the Olivet Discourse Predicting? | Mark Strauss on Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Luke 21

The Olivet Discourse (Mark 13; Matt 24; Luke 21) has puzzled interpreters for centuries. Is Jesus predicting the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, his future return, or both? Dr. Mark Strauss joins Kirk E. Miller on What in the Word? to explore this complex passage. They examine its structure, exegetical issues, and interpretive options—futurist (dispensationalist), preterist, and telescoping views.

Learn how Jesus’s apocalyptic language challenges us to live expectantly in light of the current tribulation and his imminent return.
