Summary
Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem,an event which ended the Jewish religious practice
of animal sacrifice.
By the power and sovereignty of God,the siege and destruction of Jerusalem was shortenedso that the early church might survive in its first few
decades.
From then on, the church has existedin a state of constant expectation
of the imminent return of Jesus Christ,an event which will be perfectly obvious to all human beings.
