Summary
It begins with the disciples and Jesus' response to this impressive temple, beginning in verse 1 of chapter 13. What's really interesting to note here is as they are leaving the temple and the disciples are exclaiming how impressive it is and wondering at the massive stones that it's built with, this is the last time that Jesus would ever enter or exit the temple. This is the last time that he would be in the temple and he's telling them it's going to be gone. Then Jesus began to say to them, beware that no one leads you astray, many will come in my name and say, I am he and they will lead many astray. Jesus was not telling the disciples that there will be wars and rumors of wars in order to get them straight in a different path. As we enter the mission field this week, don't get distracted by wars and rumors of wars.
