Today's Reading From Mark 13.21-37

Mark 13.21-37 Commentaries, verse by verse

Signs of the End Times (Mark 13.1-37; Matthew 28.1-51; Luke 21.5-36)
Mark 13.14-37
Jesus gave several warnings about His Second Coming. He told them to look for signs v. 5-13 which we discussed yesterday. Jesus warned us when we see the abomination of desolation (Dan 9.25-27), the revealing of the Antichrist, and the desecration of the temple, then we should flee. It would be hard for pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days. God will shorten those days.. He warned to be on our guard (v. 23).
How do you know when Jesus is coming back? According to these verse which was quoted in Isaiah 11.13.10 and 34.4. Everyone will see Him The sign is that the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. Then the Son of man will appear…
Beware of prophets who claimed that they know when Jesus will come back. This has not only happened with cult such as the Jehovah Witnesses but has also happened even among born-again Christians. Who knows when Jesus will return, only GOD THE FATHER KNOWS. Be on you guard be alert! He gave the parable of the man who went away and left his servants in charge of his house. He came back unexpectedly. The servants were to stay awake and keep watch. We have been told by some that we will be raptured away before the Tribulation, some says during the middle of the Tribulation and some says after the tribulation. THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. The issue is when the Lord comes back will you be awake and alert and ready to meet Him. When He comes back He will come back in His own time and not some prophetic timetable that someone devised.
