Summary

Jesus made a lot of bold and confusing claims during his ministry. How much of it was literal and how much was poetic? Find out from https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) as he reads through https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+21.5-38&version=NIV (Luke 21.5-38) to continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.7	learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the
0:18.4	Gospel of Luke. A few years ago I did a two-year archaeological tour of Israel and on the first day we went into Jerusalem and we bust to the top of the Mount of Olives.
0:30.0	There's no doubt that this is the best view that you can get of the old city of Jerusalem.
0:34.4	You can see the entire length of the east wall. Above it stands the dome with the rock,
0:38.7	which is now a Muslim holy site, but that Muslim holy site actually stands on the spot or near the spot where
0:46.0	the temple would have stood in Jesus' day. And standing there on the mount of olives,
0:50.9	taking in all of Jerusalem, I finally understood one of the most challenging
0:55.5	teachers of Jesus in the gospel. It's a passage that some scholars called Jesus's
1:00.3	little apocalypse. It's kind of a cute name. I don't know where that came from. But if you
1:04.1	read it today in Luke 21 versus 5 to 36, I think if you read it you'd find it
1:09.9	apocalyptic too. You'd probably assume that a lot of the stuff you're reading about inside of that
1:15.2	passage is describing something in the future, not just Jesus' future, but our future, some
1:20.5	sort of future world-ending event. But if you thought future,
1:23.0	some sort of future world ending event.
1:24.0	But if you thought that, I think you'd actually probably be wrong.
1:28.0	I think that Jesus is talking about something that happened,
1:31.0	as he himself says in verse 32
1:33.7	within the generation of his disciples within 40 years of Jesus's death.
1:40.0	Why do I say I think it happened in his lifetime? Well, one, again, Jesus himself said it would happen
1:44.7	in the lifetime of his disciples.
