In both cases, the words of Christ to His dear Christians are the same: Flee to the mountains! The literal tribulation leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem mimics the spiritual tribulation leading up to the second coming of Christ. When will Jerusalem be destroyed, and what will things be like before You come at the end of the age? Jesus’ answer addresses both questions, even though they are separate events-separated by at least 2,000 years. In the verses before our Gospel, the disciples asked Jesus this question: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” It’s really two questions. His disciples, earlier in the day, had pointed out to Him the beautiful craftsmanship of the temple in Jerusalem, and Jesus had prophesied that destruction was coming to that city and to that temple. Our Lord urgently warns us today about future events that His Christians will face-or at least, future events from the perspective of Holy Week, when He spoke the words of our Gospel.
