In Mark’s version of the so-called “Olivet Discourse” we find Jesus’ answer to His disciples’ question of when the end of the (church) age would be and what would be the signs of His coming (again). Jesus explained that no one knows when the end will be – not even Him, but only His Father. Therefore, He strongly admonished them (and us) to be continually watchful for His coming. In the meantime, we must be about the mission He assigned us to preach the Gospel throughout the world.
