About this episode

This episode examines Luke 21 and the Olivet Discourse, highlighting unique emphases that aid in understanding Jesus' teachings on the end times.

Luke 21 and the Olivet Discourse: “When These Things Begin to Take Place” In session 3 of 6, “Luke: When these things begin to happen," Ryan Habbena delivered this talk at the conference, The Celestial Disturbances. In this session, the Lukan account of the Olivet Discourse is examined with careful biblical exposition, showing how Luke 21 contributes to a fuller understanding of Jesus’ teaching on the end times. While Matthew 24 is often viewed as the most detailed account of the Olivet Discourse, Luke’s version brings out unique emphases that help believers understand the signs, timing, and spiritual preparation connected to the return of Christ.
