The End of the Age
Mark 13:1-13, 24-37
Apocalypse- the complete final destruction of the world
apo- un-
kaluptein- to cover
apokaluptein- to uncover, to reveal
Apocalypse- a revelation, a disclosure, an uncovering that shapes the way in which you see things
Mark 13:1-3
1 As he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!”
2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another—all will be thrown down.”
3 While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
The center of the religious institution was an elegant building- the Temple.
The Temple:
• where atonement was made
• where the sacrifice was offered
• where God was understood to be uniquely present
• the gathering point for the worshipping community
The apocalyptic moment in Mark's gospel is the passion (the death and resurrection) of Jesus the Christ. This is THE world-altering event.
The Cross:
• where atonement was made
• where the sacrifice was offered
• where God was understood to be uniquely present
• the gathering point for the worshipping community
What are our instructions?
1. Watch out that no one deceives you (13:5).
2. Our calling is to preach to gospel (13:10).
3. The Holy Spirit is with us and will speak through us (13:11).
4. The world will not accept the message of Christ (13:13).
Mark 13:28-29
28 “Learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize that he is near—at the door.
5. God is near (13:29)
1 Peter 3:8-12
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded and sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble, 9 not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you may inherit a blessing.
10 For the one who wants to love life and to see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit,
11 and let him turn away from evil and do what is good.Let him seek peace and pursue it,
12 because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do what is evil.
6. Watch! Be alert! (13:5, 23, 33, 37)
