Listen from:
V.1-4 We owe all to the blessed Lord Jesus Who gave Himself for us. He held back nothing and neither should we.
V.1-7 The Lord must tell the disciples that this beautiful temple was going to be destroyed. They want to know when.
V.8-24 The Lord plainly tells of the terrible judgments that were coming on that city. In the year 70 A.D. (about 37 years later), a Roman General named Titus came and surrounded the city of Jerusalem (v. 20) and completely destroyed it, and put great numbers of Jews to death. The words “till the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled” is the period of time which still exists today. The Gentiles are the rulers in the world (Rom. 11:2525For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (Romans 11:25)). After we believers are taken to glory, then some in Israel shall turn to the Lord (Rom. 11:2626And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: (Romans 11:26)). They shall become the whole nation of Israel; and the land and people of Israel once again be the Lord’s throne on earth and the “time of the Gentiles” shall end.
V.25-28 These verses speak of the time when the Lord will come forth out of heaven to put down all His enemies and bring deliverance to the godly Jews who will be waiting for Him in that day (“E” on your chart).
V.32-33 Those words our Lord spoke will not pass away!
V.37 They are plotting to kill Him, but still He patiently and lovingly works among them. At night He goes to the mount of Olives! No one took Him to their home.
