Best Answer

Although not at first apparent, the context of Mark's Gospel was the First Jewish War and the destruction of the Temple. There had been no gospel written in the decades since the time of Jesus, but scholars say that this gospel was written within about two years either side of the year 70 CE, when the Romans entered Jerusalem. The apocalyptic material in Mark was the consequence of the civil war in Jerusalem and the terrible destruction that eventuated.
