What was Jesus' greatest prediction?

Answer 1

AnswerUndoubtedly, the end of the world and his return in clouds of glory was the most momentous event that Jesus could possibly predict. Mark 13:24-26 tells us that Jesus said to the disciples that they would personally experience social turmoil and persecution, there would be earthquakes and, "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." He concluded by saying, "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.' An oblique reference to the Book of Daniel implies that the predicted end of times would occur within about four years of the destruction of the Temple.
Although this was Jesus' greatest prediction, it did not occur in the lifetime of that generation, nor shortly after the destruction of the Temple, as he appears to have expected.
