Mat 24:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : Later, as Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and asked, When will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world? The Mount of Olives provided a clear view of the temple, making it a fitting place for this conversation. The disciples wanted to know when the temple would be destroyed and what signs would accompany these events. Their question also reflected their confusion, as they associated the destruction of the temple with the end of the world. Jesus used this opportunity to teach them, not only about the destruction of Jerusalem but also about his second coming and the end of the age.
