Signs Signs Everywhere Signs 1
The world is going crazy.
Everywhere we look, something different is going on.
War in Ukraine, unrest here in the US.
Things that were unthinkable when I was a kid are now commonplace.
Many Christians are saying the Lord will return shortly.
In our text, we see the disciples asking this question.
In fact they ask 2 questions, let’s take a look at those real quick.
This account is in three of the gospels.
I think the clearest verses for these questions are in Mark 13:1-4
The 2 questions are When will these things be?
And, What will be the sign?
Jesus answers them and lays out what is going to happen.
The answer is both near and far.
We are going to talk about the first question today:
When will these things be?
Where?
There are 2 different things that Jesus is addressing in this passage.
We are only going to address the first which is the destruction of Jerusalem.
The 2nd is the end of the age.
Jesus says something that would have been very scary for those that was listening.
He says that the temple will be completely destroying.
And that’s not all.
He says that Jerusalem will be desolated and trampled by the Gentiles.
I want you to think what the temple meant to the Jews.
It was the most beautiful and grand thing that they knew of.
The doors, the parapets, the tops of the column were all gilded in gold.
Then Jesus comes in saying that not a single stone will be left in place.
It was completely destroyed.
In fact, we don’t even know for sure where it was located.
Many parts of Jerusalem were destroyed.
Many were killed and those left were carried off.
What happened is that the temple was accidently set on fire and the gold melted.
In order to get the gold, it was taken apart and destroyed.
When?
The question is: When did this happen?
The answer is a bit complicated, but in general, it happened in 70 AD.
Because Jesus is answering 2 questions, it’s easy to get them confused.
The time the temple was destroyed in 70 AD was a time of great upheaval.
Most of the apostles had been killed by them.
Jerusalem was surrounded by the Romans and was utterly destroyed.
Titus, who would later become emperor, besieged Jerusalem and destroyed much of the city.
According to Josephus, about 1.1 million people were killed during the siege.
97,000 were enslaved and thousands were forced to become gladiators.
Jews were banned from entering Jerusalem for a long time.
There was not a significant number of Jews in the area until the 20th century.
Believe it or not, but Titus did not except a wreath of victory, he said that he was merely an instrument of divine wrath.
What about all the signs in our scripture?
Who?
Well, first we need to talk about Who Jesus is addressing.
He’s talking about the Jews, but he is talking to believers and especially the disciples.
The Romans started the campaign about 2 years before this.
It says that these disciples will be brought before kings and rulers, and there will be wars and commotions.
Do you know what Josephus said?
He said that the Christians had fled before these events happened.
They left because Jesus told them this would happen.
What?
What does this mean for us?
I want to read Luke 21:24
That means that when the “Times of the Gentiles” is done, then the next part will come.
That’s the 2nd coming.
So, has the time of the gentiles come?
That’s a difficult question to answer.
In 1948, the new Israeli nation was founded.
In 1967, Jerusalem was reunited with the state of Israel.
Jerusalem is now controlled by the Jews, but a large portion is controlled by Palestinians.
So about the time I was born for the first time in 2000 years, the signs are saying that the coming is coming.
That’s exciting.
I don’t care how you flesh it all out, but Jesus could be coming any day.
Think about this:
We may not see death, but we may be reunited with Jesus in the air.
Yesterday, while working, I was bitten or stung on the finger in my house.
It hurt.
If fact everything hurts today.
But one day there will be no pain,
That’s because we have heaven to gain!
Are you ready?
I am!
