The Abomination of Desolation, Part 2

Not One Stone
When Jesus predicted the complete destruction of the temple at Jerusalem, stone by stone, His disciples knew that what He was foretelling would require an event of catastrophic proportions. Naturally, they wanted to know more details, and so they asked Him.

Signs of What?
As we read the first part of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, are we reading about signs that would predate the destruction of the temple, Jesus’ second coming, or both?

Hated by All Nations
Jesus foretold in the Olivet Discourse that His disciples would be “hated by all nations because of My name.” Did such a thing occur prior to the destruction of Jerusalem? Or was Jesus speaking of the last days before His second coming?
