Abrutal attack on a civilian bus and a devastating wave of suicide bombings-some directed at Israeli teenagers in Jerusalem-has once more riveted the world's attention on the ever-volatile Middle East.

A few days before Jesus Christ's crucifixion, He and His disciples sat on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem from the east. He had just foretold the destruction of the temple that stood majestically before them just across the Kidron Valley. Still reeling from His words, His disciples asked Him: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (Matthew 24:3).
