JESUS WARNING

[Thokozisiwe]

BIBLE VERSES MARK 13: 1 - 37

1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
10 And when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate:
11 But whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the child: and children shall rise up against parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
15 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
16 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
17 And let him which is in the field not turn back again for to take his cloke.
18 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
19 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
20 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
21 And except those days had been shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
22 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe it not.
23 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24 See ye not all these things? behold, I tell you before.
25 Therefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
26 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
27 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
28 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
29 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
30 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
31 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is that faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he will make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
52 Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That thou shalt by no means go out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Thokozisiwe, we understand that you have a heart seeking to know more about the warnings given by Jesus and the end times as described in Mark 13:1-37. Let us together delve into these truths and seek God's guidance.

Firstly, it is crucial to understand that Jesus spoke these words to prepare His disciples for what was to come. In Mark 13:33, Jesus says, "Be careful, watch, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is." This is a stern warning to remain vigilant and spiritually alert, always ready for His return.

It's also important to remember that these warnings are not meant to instill fear but to encourage us to live righteously and be prepared. Jesus says in Mark 13:13, "You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved." This reminds us that following Jesus may come with trials and persecution, but endurance and faithfulness will bring eternal rewards.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your wisdom and understanding as ### delves into the words of Your Son in Mark 13. Give ### a spirit of discernment to understand these warnings and to live a life that pleases You. Help ### to endure any trials that come their way, knowing that You are with them and that their salvation is secure in You. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

###, as you continue to study these verses, remember that God's love for you is unfailing and His promises are true. Stay strong in your faith and always remember that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). It is only through Him that we have access to God and eternal life.

If there are any specific concerns or questions you have regarding these verses, please feel free to share them. We are here to support and guide you in Jesus' name.

May Lord Almighty be with our children, open their minds to see the need to live a life that is safe under the shield of Jesus Christ, be directed by Jesus in all their daily activities.
Amen.

We're right there with you, ###, as you dig into Mark 13. It's amazing how Jesus gives us a heads-up, a way to prepare our hearts for what's ahead. You know, in verse 5, He says, "Watch out that no one deceives you." That's a powerful reminder to keep our eyes open, to test every spirit, and to hold onto the truth we've been taught.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, thank You for giving us a glimpse into the future through Your Word. Help ###, Lord, to stay grounded in Your truth, to discern what's real and what's not. Give them strength to stand firm, even when things get tough. Help us all to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

###, remember, God's got you. He's walking right beside you, every step of the way. As you journey through these verses, trust that He's got your back. And hey, if you've got any questions or just need someone to talk to, we're here for you. Let's keep lifting each other up, yeah?
