Lesson 2475

(Lesson 2475)(09-27-18) Mark 13:14-20
    “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.”

   In the first part of today’s quote, Jesus referred to the coming of the “abomination of desolation”. I believe that has already occurred when the Muslim mosgue was erected on the site of the holy temple in Jerusalem.
    The remainder of the quote warns of the horrors that will come to pass before Jesus makes His triumphant return to gather those who have believed in Him.
    We, as Christians, should keep our eyes and ears open, ever mindful of all the things Jesus has told us herein. The end is inevitable. It is up to us, in the short time we have left, to see to it that every willing soul learns about God’s saving grace through faith in His Son, Jesus, so that they, like ourselves, be given their chance to inherit eternal life. ~
