Mark 13 presents Jesus’ prophetic discourse on coming tribulation, false messiahs, and the destruction of the temple. This session unpacks the dual fulfillment perspectives—both historical and eschatological—while emphasizing spiritual vigilance and endurance through the coming trials. Jesus warns of persecution, cosmic upheaval, and the “abomination of desolation,” before promising his return, which even he himself does not know when it will be. Finally, Jesus calls his followers to steadfastness and watchfulness and not speculation or occupation with predicting his return. Verses: Mark 13:1-37; Dan. 7; Dan. 9; Dan. 11; 2 Thess. 2; 1 Macc. 1 Teacher: Jerry Wierwille
