Class Notes:
Mark-
-strong Apocalyptic Theme.
-"second comming" (parousia).
-Olivet Discourse, ch13.
-Solomans Temple
-destroyed by Nomads in 70ad.

Tribulation (time line), 7yrs:
-temple destroyed
-war
-various calamities (earthquake, famine?)
-persecution
-false messiahs
-Abomination of Desolation (the Anti Christ)
-"desolating sacrilage"
(look in Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11-ruler will persecute Jesus' followers, Nero?)
-second comming.

Fig Tree Parable: Mark 13:28
-After these signs of tribulation Jesus'
comming is emminent.

General Notes:
-"This generation will not pass away until
all these things take place." 13:30
-"Some of you will not taste death until you
see the kingdom comming with power." 9:1
-genos=race (i.e. Jews) Primary= literally
generation.
-Question to ask: Does 9:1 refer to
transfiguration? in 9:2 ff.

2Peter, pg1379:
-3:3 people start to scoff at Jesus.

1Thesselonians, pg1346:
-4:13 in reference about the soon
inevitability of the second comming.

John:
-21:18 peter will be crucified when he's old.

General Notes (cont.):
-John=Beloved Disciple
-Rumor that John wouldn't die before the
second comming (antiapocalyptic view).
-"If its my will he (John) remains until I
come, what is that to you?"
-emphasis not on second comming or on
Kingdom of God, but on individual
eternal life.
-Apocalyptic View slowly transformed into
personal relationship with Jesus.
-Messianic Kingdom slowly transformed into
eternal life.

Conservatives:
-Difference in emphasis.

liberals,
-Jesus didn't come as expected so people
began to focus on "life after death"
(eternal life now vs. future
resurrection).
That's it, enjoy!
