Highlights:

* What makes a place God's temple is that it is a place where God lives, and as Stephen said in Acts 7, God does not live in buildings made by hands.

* When God exposes the wicked spirit which God's people have taken into their temples, thinking it was God, then you will know that you are living in the last days and Jerusalem is about to be destroyed by the Beast.

* The "elect" (Mark 13:22) are those who have kept their conscience clear, walking faithfully with Jesus and treating people right, and their hearts cannot be deceived.

* The Second Coming of Jesus will NOT be an individualized, spiritual experience. It will be Jesus coming to earth in his physical body to reign on earth a thousand years.

* When Jesus comes from heaven to earth, it will be to rescue Israel from annihilation at the hands of the world ruler whom God calls "the Beast".

* After Jesus destroys the Beast, and the surviving Jews get to see their heavenly Rescuer up close, they still will not know who he is. But someone among them will notice something odd about him:

"And one will say to him, 'What are these wounds in your hands?' And he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'"

Then, the Jews will realize who their Hero is.

* In Mark 13:37, Jesus tells his disciples, "What I say to you, I say to all: 'Watch!'"

* Praying and being spiritually alert is the biggest part of that "watching".
