Two levels in Mark 13
Last Sunday we talked about a very confusing passage - Mark 13. I think it's confusing because Jesus is talking to the disciples about two events - the destruction of the temple (which came to pass in 70 AD), and the final end of the world. My interpretation can be called a "two level" reading of the passage. Some verses refer to the destruction of the temple (a mini-end of the world), and some refer to Judgment Day (a final end to the world). And some verses seem to be referring to both events at once (v.28-30 for example).
