Matthew 24:21

Bible Text

for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

The Holy Place was the inner sanctuary of Jerusalem’s temple, whose desecration signaled the crisis Jesus described; Judea was the surrounding Jewish region, where his followers were told to flee. The Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, was the setting for this discourse, overlooking the city and temple whose coming judgment frames the warning.
