Getting Ready for the End Times

Image
The Olivet Discourse: A Call to Watchfulness and Readiness The heart of this message is the Olivet Discourse, the teaching Jesus gave on the Mount of Olives shortly before His crucifixion. In this teaching, Jesus answered questions about the destruction of the temple, the troubles that would come, and the signs connected to His return. It is called the Olivet Discourse because it was delivered on the Mount of Olives, just outside Jerusalem. What the Olivet Discourse teaches Jesus warned that hard times would come.
