Chapter Thirteen of the Gospel According to Mark

The Olivet Discourse

Chapter 12
Picture
Chapter 14
Mark 13:1-8

“​Conflicts”

Jesus spends some time privately teaching his Disciples on his Second Coming. Known as the Olivet Discourse or the Little Apocalypse, this chapter concerns the events leading up to the end of time. This passage is both so dense and so misinterpreted, that a miniseries is necessary to fully unpack and dispute. The first part of the miniseries concerns the conflicts and turmoil Christians should expect to see before Christ’s return. (April 25, 2021)
Mark 13:9-13

“​Persecutions”

Jesus continues teaching his Disciples about his Second Coming while seated on the Mount of Olives. God spoke through the Prophet Isaiah, saying, “My Word, which goes forth from My mouth, will not return to Me empty, without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” The second part of this miniseries concerns the direct and divine results of true Gospel preaching—divisions, persecutions, and endurance—which the Christian should expect to experience before Christ’s return. (May 2, 2021)
Mark 13:14-23

“Tribulation”

Jesus has been teaching his Disciples about the signs leading up to His return. Now, our Lord returns to their initial question regarding the beautiful Temple. The third part of this miniseries concerns the prophecy of the Antichrist and Great Tribulation, which is unfortunately and very commonly surrounded in myth and error. Jesus here tells his Bride what she is to expect in the lead up to His return. (May 9, 2021)
Mark 13:24-27

“Return”

Jesus is teaching the Church about what to expect at the end of time. He has been using the prophetic destruction of Jerusalem as a prefigure of the events to come. The climax of that event is, of course, His second advent. Jesus now touches on that glorious event and the fourth part of this miniseries unpacks the expectations of that glorious day. (May 16, 2021)
Mark 13:28-31

“Forewarned”

Jesus nears the end of his teaching in what is known as the Olivet Discourse or the Little Apocalypse. The Disciples were concerned over Jesus’ prophecy of the destruction of the Temple. In this passage, we learn just how much they will experience. Jesus forewarns the Disciples of signs and sufferings that will continue to occur until His return. The fifth part of this miniseries also unpacks some Zionist errors of interpretation. (May 23, 2021)
Mark 13:32-37

“Watchfulness”

Jesus wraps up his teaching on the end times with two thunderous admonishes. The first is the nail in coffin of any who try to predict or calculate Christ’s return. The second is a parable reminding us of the purpose for which the Olivet Discourse was given. There is no accidental misinterpretation of Christ’s commands here. Anything that teaches contrary ignores our Lord and is false teaching. (May 30, 2021)
