Jesus made two visits to the Mount of Olives that are recorded in the Bible, both in the last weekk of His life.
The First visit was to deliver what has come to be known as the OLIVET DISCOURSE recorded in Matthew 24: 1-25:46.
The OLIVET DISCOURSE is the name given to the orderly and extended teaching given by Jesus Christ on the Mount of Olives. His subject is the end times.
Jesus teaching in this discourse is in reference to Israel and not the Church. Christ was speaking of God's future program for Israel. Other passages to consider when studying the Olivet Discourse are Daniel 9:24-27 and Revelation 6:1-19:21, which refer to the future seven year period called the tribulation. God's program for the Church concludes with the rapture, which is not taught in the Olivet Discourse. The rapture of the Church is found in John 14: 1-4; Corinthians 15: 51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18.
The content of the Olivet Discourse is Jesus' response to His disciples' question "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?"
The content of what Jesus taught in Matthew 24-25 primarily refers to the future tribulation period and the second coming of Christ at the end of the tribulation. The Discourse incluces parables about those who wait for the Master's coming- the wise and faithful servant (Matthew 24: 45-51), the five wise virgins (Matthew 25: 14-30).
The Second visit was on the night He was betrayed. That evening began with the Last Supper and ended in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives.
Jesus second visit He established the New Covenant and then revealed Judas as the one who would betray Him. (John 13: 1-30).
The New Covenant is spoken about first in te book of Jeremiah. The old covenant that God had established with His people required obedience to the Old Testament Mosaic law. The prophet Jeremiah predicted that there would be a time when God would make a new covenant with the nation of Israel, (Jeremiah 31: 31, 33).
Now that we are under the new covenant, we are not under the penalty of the law. We are now given the opportunity to receive salvation as a free gift (Ephesians 2:8-9).
