Jesus’ Most Misunderstood Prophecy? The Olivet Discourse (Not the End of the World)- JAMW

Jesus' longest prophecy is also his most misread. In this episode, Jimmy Akin presents his talk from the 2024 Catholic Answers Conference, walking through Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 to show what the Olivet Discourse actually predicts, and whether Jesus got it right. The answer has implications for how we read biblical prophecy and when the Gospels were written. Also: listener feedback on Episode 96 (David Koresh) and Episode 405 (the Zodiac Killer).
