Jerusalem was Israel’s capital and the site of the temple; Judea was the surrounding Jewish region, so the city’s encirclement by armies signaled coming judgment and the need for those in Judea to flee. The Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem, was nearby and associated with Jesus’ teaching about these events.
