"Warning about Trouble


(Mark 13.3-13; Luke 21.7-19)
3Later, as Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him in private and asked, "When will this happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"
4Jesus answered:
Don't let anyone fool you. 5Many will come and claim to be me. They will say that they are the Messiah, and they will fool many people.
6You will soon hear about wars and threats of wars, but don't be afraid. These things will have to happen first, but that isn't the end. 7Nations and kingdoms will go to war against each other. People will starve to death, and in some places there will be earthquakes. 8But this is just the beginning of troubles.
9You will be arrested, punished, and even killed. Because of me, you will be hated by people of all nations. 10Many will give up and will betray and hate each other. 11Many false prophets will come and fool a lot of people. 12Evil will spread and cause many people to stop loving others. 13But if you keep on being faithful right to the end, you will be saved. 14When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come."

Does anyone think that this relates to todays times?

It does sound like these times, but remember: we will not know the hour of His coming. It could happen at any time.

True->> But what I am wondering is if people have been thinking the same thing forever (Sounds like our times).

As much as I supported the "diversification" of this forum...this is getting out of hand.

Attention moderators: perhaps it's time to add a religion-oriented forum to "The Hangar." Maybe you could call it "Sunday School."

Or maybe it would be a lot less trouble if someone clicks on a thread called "the world today" (also the name of a famous evangelical radio show) and sees a Bible quote, they just click again.

On the "back" button.

Problem solved.

Yep.

But what I am wondering is if people have been thinking the same thing forever

If not throughout all of history, probably throughout much of it.

And they, and we, are all right. Semper paratus!
