Matthew 24:1

Jesus left and was going away from the temple. Immediately after his "impeachment" of the Jewish leaders (chapter 23). Scholars do not agree on the meaning of Matthew 24. My understanding of this chapter is built on some years of study and comparing Scripture with Scripture; and reading what others have written. Any interpretation will be based on a "time factor," and I believe Matthew 24:34; Matthew 24:36 divide the chapter into TWO TIME PERIODS. TO show him the temple's buildings. This is the third temple, rebuilt by Herod in such splendor that it was not finally completed until some thirty years after Jesus' death. He had just predicted its total destruction.
