If we ever think seriously about life in general — about world problems, and about what the future holds for us personally — two questions which often arise are: 1.Is permanent world peace possible? 2.What will happen to us in the future, and after our death?

The Lord Jesus Christ was well-aware of the future events regarding the earth. It was Jesus that spoke of the future destruction of the Jewish Temple almost 40 years before it occurred in A.D. 70 (Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21).
