Mark 13:33   Watch the signs of the times. Though the exact timing will not be known, we can see events lining up for that time yet future. So much of what is going on in our world today fits with the prophecies concerning the end times. Pray that you may stay in communication with Almighty…

Mark 13:32   Once again we must differentiate. That day occurs at the end of ‘those days’ and is not connected with ‘these things.’ So, this refers to the exact day and hour of the Second Coming. Many have wondered how that the Trinity could be true, and yet, that there could be a piece of…

Mark 13:31   By the time that all which Jesus has told us about has come to pass, this present world will be totally different. The heaven and earth will be transformed, and life will be much different. This is in the future state after the restoration of all things. There will be no sin in…

Mark 13:30   To the question in all minds we immediately go. What does Jesus mean by saying that this generation would not pass before all of these things would be fulfilled? Well, it would be quite accurate to say that that current generation of Jews would not perish before the destruction of the temple.   So,…

Mark 13:28   Jesus was always teaching. He used things in the environment around him to illustrate Scriptural truths. The disciples were familiar with the fig tree and how it grew and bore fruit. He didn’t have to go into any long explanations on that. He simply stated the fact as they were. They could generally…

Mark 13:27   The Lord will come for his own during that time yet future. So many things will happen then, but the rapture of the church, and the Second Coming of Christ will be the defining events.   Some may try to criticise the language here. The reference to ‘four winds’ seems to fit with a…

Taking a break from posting this week during VBS.

Mark 13:26   The ‘in those days’ phrase in verse 24 tells us a lot. All of these events, marked by an ‘and then’ will occur during the end times. So, the appearing of the Lord in the clouds, and his power and great glory being revealed, will occur during that time. Heavenly Father, thank you…

Mark 13:25   This verse is one of those that people will point to when they are trying to discount the Bible. Obviously, the stars can’t fall to the earth. If even one of the smallest of stars were to fall to the earth, falling wouldn’t be the right term. It would be a collision, and…
