The Olivet Discourse or Olivet prophecy is a biblical passage found in the Synoptic Gospels in Mark 13, Matthew 24, Luke 21. It is also known as the "Little Apocalypse" because it includes the use of apocalyptic language, and it includes Jesus' warning to his followers that they will suffer tribulation and persecution before the ultimate triumph of the Kingdom of God.〔"Frontline" TV series. PBS.

In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, Jesus spoke this discourse to his disciples privately on the Mount of Olives,〔Matthew 24:3; Mark 13:3〕 opposite the Temple. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus taught over a period of time in the Temple and stayed at night on the Mount of Olives.〔Luke 21:37〕 The discourse is widely believed by scholars to contain material delivered on a variety of occasions.〔Ben Witherington The Gospel of Mark: A Socio-rhetorical Commentary page 340.〕 Some believe the passage largely refers to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and the events leading up to it, although there are also references to events following this.〔 This is one reason why scholars date the Gospel of Mark to the period just before, or just after, the events of the year 70.〔〔Morna Hooker, ''The Gospel According to St. Mark'' (Continuum, 1991) page 8.〕 It is unclear whether the tribulation Jesus describes is a past, present or future event.〔Gentry, Kenneth L.; Thomas Ice. ''The Great Tribulation—Past Or Future?: Two Evangelicals Debate the Question.'' Kregel Academic & Professional, 1999. ISBN 978-0-8254-2901-9〕 In each of the three gospel accounts, the sermon contains a number of statements which at first glance seem predictive of future events. However, modern Christian interpretation diverges as to the meaning of the additional topics in the discourse. Many evangelical Christian interpreters say the passages refer to the Second Coming of Jesus. They disagree whether Jesus describes the signs that accompany his return. The setting on the Mount of Olives is also thought by some scholars to have been not incidental, but a quite deliberate echo of a passage in the Book of Zechariah which refers to the location as the place where a final battle would occur between the Jewish Messiah and his opponents. == Content == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olivet Discourse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
