7. What did He say of the wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes which were to precede these
events?
Answer
"All these are the beginning of sorrows." Verse 8.
NOTE - These were to precede and culminate in the great calamity and overthrow, first, of
Jerusalem, and finally of the whole world; for, as already noted, the prophecy has a double application,
first, to Jerusalem and the Jewish nation, and secondly, to the whole world. The destruction of Jerusalem
for its rejection of Christ at His first advent was a type of the destruction of the world _at the end for its
rejection of Christ in refusing to heed the closing warning message sent by God to prepare the world for
Christ's second advent.
