Are there any parallels between the Olivet Discourse and the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem?
God's house would become desolate. | Jer. 12:7; 22:5 | Matt. 23:38; 27:51 |
God's glory left the temple; Jesus left the temple. | Ezek. 10:1-19 | Matt. 24:1; Mark 13:1 |
Destruction of the city. | 2 Kings 25:9; Ezek. 11:6-7 | Matt. 24:2; Mark 13:2; Luke 21:6 |
The glory of the Lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it and Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives east of the city. | Ezek. 11:23 | Matt. 24:3; Mark 13:3 |
