Signs of the End of the Age
“For many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many,” Mark 13:6. Its important to know God for yourself so that when the deceivers come you can discern what is truth and what isn’t. When the disciples didn’t know something, they asked Jesus in simple questions. We need to be in the habit of just asking questions. Wars and rumours of wars are coming, famines and natural disasters are coming. But we shall not be moved by these things, rather see them as signs. While the Lord doesn’t want us to stress about our problems, He doesn’t want us focus on them either, but find a balance in Him.
Jesus Warns of Persecution
Because of our faith in Jesus, we will be hated. We’ll even have family members turn against us, but the only One we really have is Jesus who will never turn His back on us. If we continuously remain faithful to Jesus, we will make it to the end to experience salvation.
The Detestable Idol That Brings Misery
You see so many false prophets now a days. You can’t be surprised because its been spoken that its going to happen. Yet to witness it first hand is astounding. The enemy is in the midst really trying to steer people away. There are those who are following others who really believe their half truths. The enemy is moving and tries to cover his tracks even with the holy scriptures! If you aren’t abiding in Jesus, you can easily be swayed into his lies. People think there is a grey area in life, however with God its either black or white, good or evil. You can’t be both at once. You can’t fully give your life and have convenience too. We get everything that we want, whenever we want it in this society. We need to be willing to lay down our own desires and be led by God. Its hard to let go of your comforts, but its necessary to be stretched to become more one with God.
The Appearing of the Son of Man
Jesus will come back with great power and glory to gather His elect from the Earth.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
While neither Jesus, nor the angles or us as disciples know when Jesus Himself will come, we can know by the “signs” of the rise of many false prophets, the continuing intensity of seismic events of epic proportion, famines and wars will give us an indicator as to the season that He will come.
Live Always Ready for His Appearing
We need to be found doing His will, not just twiddling our thumbs, waiting for Him to come back and not being effective for Him.
A Parable of a Man Who Left on a Journey
Watch. Jesus said watch to Peter, Andrew, James & John. Watch. Jesus says watch to all of us too. Watch over your heart posture, don’t allow yourself to fall asleep spiritually. The things of this world, the cares of this life lull you to sleep. Check your heart. Its serious. This Earth is not all there is. There is a restoration of all things and we are in the very last moments leading into it.
