What are the The Mount of Olives

The Mount of Olives is located outside the city of Jerusalem in Israel. It is visited by Jesus and the disciples. It becomes a place renowned for the prophesies of Jesus. It is from the Mount of Olives that Jesus tells the disciples that Jerusalem and the Temple will one day be destroyed. The lessons from the Mount of Olives directly translate to the pride of Americans, for no city or building, no matter how grand, cannot be destroyed.
