The Olivet Discourse or Olivet prophecy is a biblical passage found in the Synoptic Gospels in Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21. It is also known as the Little Apocalypse because it includes the use of apocalyptic language, and it includes Jesus's warning to his followers that they will suffer tribulation and persecution before the ultimate triumph of the Kingdom of God.[1] The Olivet discourse is the last of the Five Discourses of Matthew and occurs just before the narrative of Jesus's passion beginning with the anointing of Jesus.
In all three synoptic Gospels this episode includes the Parable of the Budding Fig Tree.[2]
It is unclear whether the tribulation Jesus describes is a now past, present, or future event.[3]: p.5 Some believe the passage largely refers to events surrounding the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem[4] and as such is used to date the Gospel of Mark around the year 70.[4][5]
