Episode 36- Side Study- The Olivet Discourse- Part 6- Dark Sun, Lightless Moon and Falling Stars

The Burros tackle what Andy so brilliantly coined as "the hard left in this discourse". As Jesus continues to explain to the disciples how the Temple would be destroyed and the series of events that will lead up to His coming, He suddenly begins to utter incredibly destructive words that sound like the end of the world. Through a meticulous study of Old Testament prophecies concerning the judgment and destruction of nations in history they find that this type of language was common and well understood by the Jewish people of His time. Reading these verses with the modern American mind can derail the reader from its true meaning. Listen in to find out the shocking truth behind apocalyptic language used by Jesus, its link to prophets of old, and what it means to describe the ultimate downfall of Jerusalem and their "house".
