The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)A Double Prophecy The destruction of Jerusalem The second Advent (Coming) and the end of the

worldThe destruction of JerusalemChristians heeded the warning and fled to the small town of Pella,

near the Sea of Galilee. (v.20-21)Jewish historian Josephus, who witnessed the destruction of

Jerusalem, gives a vivid account of the city’s fall, reporting that more than 1,000,000 Jews perished in one day. (v.22-24)

The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)A Double Prophecy (continue…)The second Advent (Coming) and the end of the

worldThe times of the Gentiles refers to the interval between the destruction

of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and the Second Coming of Christ, during which the gospel is proclaimed to the whole world. Inasmuch as Jerusalem often symbolises the Jewish people as a whole, Jesus here is also prophesying the disbelief of the majority of Jews during the church age. “Until” seems to allude to a repentant Israel’s welcoming His return. (v24)

The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)A Double Prophecy (continue…)The second Advent (Coming) and the end of the

worldIn warning the disciples against false signs, Jesus sketches the

prevailing conditions of their present age down to the very end and states their continuing task. There will be religious deception, social and political upheavals, natural calamities, disloyalty, and persecution - all of which are precursors of the end times. In the midst of the difficulties, the Lord’s followers are to persevere in spreading the gospel. (v.7-19)

The disturbing phenomena preceding the Lord’s return will strike terror in the hearts of the impenitent*, but will be a source of hope and expectation to the redeemed*. Redemption refers to the completion of Christ’s saving work, when the unbelieving world will acknowledge the believers are “the sons of God” and bodies of God’s people will be redeemed.(v25-28)

The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)The Doom of the Temple (21:4-37)A Double Prophecy (continue…)The second Advent (Coming) and the end of the

worldAs the budding of trees signifies the coming of summer, the signs

described by Jesus will give warning of His coming. Even the present generation would witness the destruction of Jerusalem (v34), which was a type of events connected with Christ’s return. (v29-33)

Jesus warns against spiritual lethargy and calls for alertness and readiness for His return. (v34-36) – Are you ready, Christian Soldiers?

Outline of the Passion WeekOutline of the Passion Week Saturday

Christ’s last public ministry outside of Jerusalem was probably primarily in Perea and Judea. A few days

before the final Passover, Jesus drew near to Jerusalem (John 11:55), arriving at Bethlehem six days before the Passover (John 12:1), namely the Saturday before the

Passion Week. That evening, Jesus was anointed at Simon the leper’s house (Matt. 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-8). On the next day (Sunday), there was a great crowd that came to Bethany to see Jesus (John

12:9-11).

Outline of the Passion WeekOutline of the Passion Week Sunday

The next day (John 12:12), Sunday, was Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matt. 21:1-9; Mark

11:1-10; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), His visit to the temple (Matt. 21:10-11; Mark 11:11), and then His

return to Bethany. The day of the triumphal entry would be Nisan 10 when the lamb was selected for

Passover. Hence, the triumphal entry was the day when Christ presented Himself as Israel’s Paschal lamb.

MondayThe second cleansing of the temple ?:

Outline of the Passion WeekOutline of the Passion Week Tuesday

On Tuesday on the way from Bethany to Jerusalem, Jesus cursed the fig tree (Matt. 21:18-19; Mark 11:12-

14), and then He went to Jerusalem to cleanse the temple ? (Matt. 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-17; Luke 19:45-

46). The religious leaders began to seek how they might destroy Him that evening, and that evening Jesus left Jerusalem, presumably returning to Bethany (Mark

11:18-19; Luke 19:47-48).

Outline of the Passion WeekOutline of the Passion Week Wednesday

On the way to Jerusalem on Wednesday, the disciples saw the withered fig tree (Matt. 21:20-22; Mark 11:20-26). At the

temple in Jerusalem, Jesus had a day of controversy with the religious leaders (Matt. 21:23—Matt. 23:39; Mark 11:27—Mark 12:44; Luke 20:1—Luke 21:4). That afternoon Jesus

went to the Mount of Olives and delivered the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24:1—Matt. 25:46; Mark 13:1-37; Luke 21:5-36). Two additional things occurred on that day: (1) Jesus predicted that in two days He would be crucified at the time of the Passover

(Matt. 26:1-5; Mark 14:1-2; Luke 22:1-2); and (2) Judas planned the betrayal of Christ with the religious leaders (Matt.

26:14-16; Mark 14:10-11; Luke 22:3-6).

Outline of the Passion WeekOutline of the Passion Week Thursday

On this day, He had His disciples prepare the Passover lamb (Matt. 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16; Luke 22:7-13), and Jesus and His disciples had their Passover meal in the Upper Room (Matt.

26:20-30; Mark 14:17-26; Luke 22:14-30; John 13:1—John 14:31). Leaving the Upper Room, Jesus had a discourse with His disciples and offered an intercessory prayer in behalf of them (Matt. 26:30-35; Mark 14:26-31; Luke 22:31-39; John

15:1—John 18:1). They arrived at the Garden of Gethsemane, and it is here where Jesus suffered in agony (Matt. 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; John 18:1). Later that night

Jesus was betrayed and arrested (Matt. 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:2-12). During the rest of that night, Jesus was tried first by Anna’s and later by Caiaphas with the

religious leaders (Matt. 26:57-75; Mark 14:53-72; Luke 22:54-65; John 18:13-27).

Outline of the Passion WeekOutline of the Passion Week Friday

Early in the morning, the Sanhedrin, Pilate, Herod Antipas, and Pilate tried Jesus again (Matt. 27:1-30;

Mark 15:1-19; Luke 22:66—Luke 23:25; John 18:28—John 19:16). Jesus was then led to the cross and

crucified at 9: 00 a.m. and died at 3: 00 p.m. and was buried later that day (Matt. 27:31-60; Mark 15:20-46;

Luke 23:26-54; John 19:16-42). Christ the Paschal Lamb (1 Cor. 5:7) died at the time when the Israelites

were sacrificing their Passover lambs.

Jesus laid in the tomb during the Sabbath, and the Pharisees secured Roman guards to keep watch of the tomb (Matt. 27:61-66; Mark 15:47; Luke 23:55-56).

SundayChrist was resurrected from the dead (Matt. 28:1-15;

Mark 16:1-8 [9-13]; Luke 24:1-35). He is a type of the offering of the Firstfruits, which was offered the day

after the Sabbath (Lev. 23:9-14; 1 Cor. 15:23).
