Why the Structure of Matthew’s Olivet Discourse Matters

Play

Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about the key issue to the structure of Matthew’s Olivet Discourse: the relationship between vv. 9–14 and verse 15ff.

He first talked about the disciples’ questions about the sign of the parousia (second coming) and the end of the age, which opens up the discourse. Then he focused on the implications of the Greek conjunction oun (“therefore”) used in verse 15 for the overall structure, especially how it relates to the Antichrist’s great tribulation.

“So [oun] when you see the abomination of desolation–spoken about by Daniel the prophet—standing in the holy place (let the reader understand).” Matt 24:15
