1. The Celebrated Supremacy of the Temple (v5)
- Mark 13:1-2 & Matthew 24:1 / 2 Chronicles 7 / Ps 48:9
- The Temple was the centred piece of Israel, Jerusalem and Judaism itself; a place of almost infinite significance for the Jewish people.
2. The Prophesied Destruction of the Temple (v6)
- A nightmare to hear. A hell to endure. An end to an age.
Two Further Points of Application:
- Judgements Unthinkable & Unbearable…are not necessarily Untrue (2 Pt 3:5ff / Lk 22-23 / Rev 21:8)
- Something Greater than the Temple is Here (Mt 12:6 / Jn 2:19-21 / Heb 8:5-6 / Acts 17:24 / 2 Cor 6:16 / Heb 4:14)
