Main idea: We can trust Jesus, along with all of God’s Word, at all times, and especially when life is hard.
Outline: Why do I think vv 15-21 refer to 70 AD?
- The disciples just asked when the temple standing in their day would be destroyed (v 3).
- The details of vv 15-21 match the local tribulation of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
- Jesus’s recent words and actions have warned of the destruction of this very temple.
- Jesus’s use of the phrase “this generation” in v 34.
- The “abomination of desolation” in Daniel matches Jerusalem’s destruction in AD 70.
