1-2. Here in
verse 1 we see that the disciples are amazed at the structure of the
temple. We see that even his disciples where caught up in the
worldly things in place of thinking of Gods plans and the up coming
event that Christ would soon give his life on the cross for all
mankind. Time has not change much as far as the human mind thinks.
Today we get caught up on worldly things and the desires to have
them that we forget our purpose here. Here we see in verse 2 that
Jesus tells them to not on things of this world. He told him that
the temple would be destroyed and that not one stone would be left
in its original place. This came to past when the soldiers of Titus
set the temple on fire and the Gold melted and ran down between the
stones and the soldiers moved every stone out of its original place.
Things of this world are going to pass away and be destroyed, but
the heavenly treasure will last for eternity.
3. We see in
these verses that the disciples as three questions. When this would
happen, what will be the sign, and what to look for at the end of
this world as we know it?
4. Jesus now is
beginning to answer there questions. Let no man deceive you or lead
you astray.
5. Many will
come and say that they are the Christ. This has already come to
past. Many have come and proclaimed to be Christ and it is happen
now right before our eyes today. These that proclaim to be Christ
will deceive many people because they are unlearned of the word of
God, they have failed to read and study the word of God so that they
might know the difference in imposters.
6. Here of wars
and rumors of wars and this has been happen for the past 100 years
or more. World War 1 and 2 and even the Iraq war today. All of this
must come to past before the end will come
7. Nation will
rise against nation and there will be famines such as hunger,
murder, no water to drink, Cancer, Aids, Floods, Fires, Earth
Quakes, suicide, heart failure, and many more.
8. All of these
things are just the beginning of the troubles and sorrows to come.
9-10. We see
that this is already in place in a lot of countries today also. If
you are caught with a Bible or speaking about God or his son Jesus
Christ you will be killed. The United is hate because of there stand
for God and the stand for protecting Israel. Many others such as
Great Brittan and others alike are hated for the stand the take for
God and his word. Many shall be offended by it and many shall be
betrayed and hated.
11. Many false
prophets shall rise during this time and deceive many. There
teaching will only led people away from God.
12 Wickedness
shall be on a rampage and human affections will be less and less
evident and acts of unlove will become more common.
13 Those that
endure and cling to Gods Word will surly be saved. Only by Gods
Grace can we endure these times of trouble. This does not mean that
you will escape physical harm, because we have already read that
many will suffer for his cause. No one should even imagine just
because they are a apostle that they are excluded from harm. But it
does mean if you endure and keep the faith that you will see the
land of mike and honey, the new heaven and the new earth.
14 God has given
men the technology of the TV and the Internet for this reason to
reach out into the entire world and preach the gospel. Today even
the Church Internet sight is reaching out across the world today.
Many more even greater ministries such as TCT are reaching many more
countries then we are.
Even in the time
of Moses as God was calling on those willing to lead his people to
the promise land of milk and honey, those that truly believed and
stood on the word of God. God is calling you and me to stand today
and take a stand for him and to remind his people of his world and
that we are still on that journey to the land of milk and honey
which is New Jerusalem. Even when they were being lead to the
promise they grew weak and faint. We sometime grow weak and weary
too, but be patience and take one day at a time and put God first in
your life each and every day and you will surly endure the road that
is before you today.
