This book is written from a fuflilled perspective and a preterist view. The book presents a consistent argument that unifies the Olivet Discourse into one great subject and one great fulfillment. Since Jesus and His apostles were all Hebrews who lived over 2000 years ago, there is a need to understand their message in the age they lived in then. Jews who lived before the destruction of their temple in A.D. 70 wouild not have thought beyond the end of their age that was looming then. The author explores the statement, "But of that day and hour knows no one" and argues that Jesus was alluding to Zechariah 14:7 which context points to the destruction of the Jewish temple in the end of their age, not the end of human history. The author argues the case that the "time of the end" that Jesus spoke of was not the "end of time" as many Christians assume.
