The Chiasm of Mark 13:1-2
A chiasm is a literary structure where vocabulary of the first section of a passage is repeated in reverse order in the second. The center of the chiasm is typically the climax of the passage. In Mark 13:1-2 the center is Jesus pointing out the beautiful temple buildings which will be torn down (Mark13:1b-2a). https://www.howthebiblefitstogether.org/files/Mark-13.1-2a-Chiasm.pdf
