Breaking this paragraph into two paragraphs, I try to have it make more sense:

The Olivet Discourse was given from the standpoint of Judaism’s rejection of Christ, see the entire previous chapter, especially verse 38, “Your house is left unto you desolate.”

The discourse was spoken to the founders of the church, the twelve disciples. Christ is not speaking to the disciples as representatives of Judaism, which rejected Christ, everything he said was said to, and for, the church.
