Observations. *As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? (“Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”) And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”
Read through His answer and be ready to discuss;
*“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
