When God Leaves the Building: The Beginning of the End

Jesus doesn’t just walk out of the Temple. He walks out like the Shekinah Glory did 600 years earlier… and everything changes. In this opening of Mark 13, we connect Ezekiel’s vision, the empty Holy of Holies, and Jesus’ shocking prophecy that not one stone will be left standing. The disciples are staring at the gold-covered walls of the temple. Jesus is staring at coming judgment. Wars, deception, persecution, and the spread of the Gospel—this isn’t the end… it’s the beginning of birth pains. Don’t panic. Don’t speculate. Don’t get misled. Stay anchored in truth as history moves exactly where God said it would.
