The Olivet Discourse Made Simple

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

'What shall be the sign?' — Jesus answers on the Mount of Olives. This Scripture-first, Trinitarian guide walks through Jesus Christ's great prophetic sermon — Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 21 — from the three questions the disciples asked privately to the final parables of readiness. Twelve chapters cover the warning against deception, wars and rumors of wars, persecution and endurance, the abomination of desolation, false christs, the coming of the Son of Man in power and great glory, the parable of the fig tree, watching as in the days of Noah, the faithful servant, the ten virgins, and the talents. Every chapter ends with a practice for the week and a prayer addressed to the Father through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit.
