Scripture:
Mark
13:14-31
“When you see ‘the abomination that causes
desolation’ standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then
let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his
house go down or enter the house to take anything out. Let no one in the field
go back to get his cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant
women and nursing mothers! Pray that this will not take place in winter, because
those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created
the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. If the Lord had not cut
short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he
has chosen, he has shortened them. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look,
here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. For false
Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to
deceive the elect—if that were possible. So be on your guard; I have told you
everything ahead of time.
“But in those
days, following that distress,
“ ‘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.’
“At
that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and
glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds,
from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. Now learn this lesson
from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you
know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you
know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation
will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and
earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away….”
