Contextual Meaning

These verses do not describe the destruction of Jerusalem but the Tribulation at the end of the present age and the Second Coming that will follow it. The Second Coming is the climax of the Olivet Discourse. It is also the climax of the Book of Revelation , especially chapters6-19 , that is an expanded revelation of the Olivet Discourse.
