Several chapters are devoted to the events occurring on Tuesday of Jesus’ last week. Yet, perhaps none are more striking than what he teaches on the Mount of Olives, as he and the disciples stare across the valley at the Temple in Jerusalem. He warns his disciples – then and now – of challenging times ahead, but that will not be the whole story. He encourages them and us to stay prepared and keep the faith and our hopes alive, for God will have the final word!
