The Return of the King (25 of 28)

Difficult Text - Here how interpret this text: He is both prophesying the end of the temple which took place in A.D. 70 and he is talking about the end of the world and His return. So I would say the destruction of the temple was a type... a foreshadowing... of a greater time of difficulty. I would also say that in the first 13 verses you have what is now a descr ...
