Today's Reading - February 5, 2010

EXODUS 21:22-23:13
MATTHEW 24:1-28
PSALM 29:1-11
PROVERBS 7:6-23


Question of the day: What is Jesus talking about in Matthew 24:15?

Jesus was foretelling the destruction that Jerusalem would endure at the hands of the Romans in 70 A.D. Many Jews fled the city, and those that remained were starved to death or were killed by the Romans as they were able to tear down the walls and enter the cities. The "Holy Place" is the temple, which was destroyed.

Some of the people hearing this from Jesus could well have died in this battle.

What questions do you have?
