The Little Apocalypse: Hope or Tribulation? (Mark 13:1-8)(Proper 28B/Ordinary 33B/Pentecost 26)
As far as apocalypses go, I’m sure they come in only one size: Big. This passage, however, is referred to as the little apocalypse, as compared to the “big apocalypse” in the Book of Revelation. As we will see, however, it is actually not an apocalypse at all. Instead, it is the refutation of the idea of a conquering Messiah. It is the anti-apocalypse.
On this show, we read from the Gospel of Mark 13:1-8. Then we ask whether the prophecy know as "The Little Apocalypse" is about hope or tribulation, or both. Finally, we will consider the views of our panelists.
The reading for the show can be found at:
