Eschatology, Ascension

"It follows that the ascension did not inaugurate a period of mourning. It was not the beginning of the time of which Jesus said, "the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and on that day they will fast" (Mark 2:20). That "day" came between the crucifixion and the resurrection. But Luke reports that immediately after Jesus' ascension "they returned to Jerusalem with great joy and spent all their time in the temple, praising God" (Luke 24:52ff.)."
