Trusting what Jesus says about tomorrow will help us boldly live for Him today.

What does it mean to live in expectation of Christ's return? In this profound exploration of Mark 13:28-37, we unpack Jesus' teachings from the Olivet Discourse about spiritual readiness and watchfulness.Jesus uses the powerful imagery of a master leaving his household in the care of servants to illustrate our responsibility during His absence. Three times He emphasizes the command to "be on the alert," yet simultaneously makes clear that "of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." This tension creates the framework for how believers should live: spiritually vigilant without obsessive speculation about timing.We tackle the controversial phrase "this generation will not pass away until all these things take place," unpacking the broader meanings of the Greek word "genea" and examining how context shapes our understanding. Rather than supporting skeptics' criticisms or preterists' claims that all prophecy was fulfilled in the first century, this verse actually reinforces Jesus' teaching about the generation that will witness the specific apocalyptic signs He described.Perhaps most comforting is Jesus' declaration that "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." In a world of instability, God's Word remains our unchanging foundation. This promise grounds our faith through life's uncertainties and gives us confidence in the reliability of Scripture.The practical application of this passage challenges us to examine our lives: Are we distracted by end-times speculation, or focused on the Great Commission? Are we maintaining short accounts with God and others, living as if we could meet Jesus today? Whether through His return or our mortality, readiness for that divine encounter should transform how we live now.Join us as we reason through Scripture to discover what it truly means to stay spiritually awake while waiting for our Master's return.

Prophecy is not given to us to know the future. Prophecy is not given only for the generation that will live through its fulfillment. Prophecy is given to every generation for a very specific reason. We will consider that reason in our time together today.

Jesus' Olivet Discourse stands as one of Scripture's most profound prophetic teachings, delivered from the Mount of Olives as He gazed across Jerusalem during His final week before crucifixion. Today we continue to wade into these deep waters, examining a critical section of Mark 13 that points toward Jesus' glorious return.At the heart of our discussion is the question: which portions of Jesus' prophecy were fulfilled in the first century, and which await future fulfillment? The answer emerges through careful attention to the sequence Jesus provides. "After that tribulation," He declares, cosmic signs will appear, the Son of Man will come in the clouds, and angels will gather the elect from earth and heaven.We explore why false messiahs can be identified by their secretive or limited "appearances," while Christ's true return will be unmistakable—like lightning flashing across the sky. The deeply Jewish context of Jesus' teaching becomes evident as He quotes directly from Isaiah's prophecies about judgment on all nations, not just Israel.Most compelling is the realization that the events described—cosmic disturbances, Christ's visible return in glory, and a universal gathering of God's people—simply don't align with what happened when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD. There was no dramatic sign in the heavens, no visible appearance of Christ, and no gathering of believers that hadn't already been occurring.For listeners wondering about the timeline of end-time events, this passage offers clarity: the tribulation period will conclude with Christ's unmistakable return in glory, accompanied by angels who will gather His chosen ones from across earth and heaven. What a glorious day that will be! Join us as we continue unpacking this profound teaching.Support the showThank you for listening!!

How the rapture affects our living.

91 : Gospel of Mark 13 1. And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 2. And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4. Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5. And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: ; AB church Lausanne

The Olivet Discourse represents one of Jesus' most significant prophetic teachings, and in this episode, we continue our study deep into Mark 13:9-20 where Jesus provides both warnings and comfort for believers facing persecution.Jesus begins with a sobering prediction that His followers would face arrests, beatings, and trials before authorities. While directly addressing His disciples, these words have found fulfillment throughout church history – from the apostles' experiences in Acts to devastating Roman persecutions and continuing today in regions where Christianity remains illegal. Yet within this warning comes profound comfort: "Do not worry beforehand about what to say... for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit." This divine promise has sustained countless believers facing opposition for their faith.The episode culminates with an examination of "The Abomination of Desolation" mentioned in verse 14. While some scholars connect this to historical events like Jerusalem's destruction in 70 AD, we carefully analyze the chronology and evidence suggesting this points to a future tribulation period unparalleled in human history. Jesus provides specific instructions for believers to flee immediately when witnessing this prophetic sign.Whether you're curious about biblical prophecy, seeking encouragement during personal trials, or wanting to understand your role in God's global mission, this episode offers biblical insights that strengthen faith and deepen understanding of God's sovereign plan throughout history.Support the showThank you for listening!!

The Olivet Discourse stands as one of Jesus's most profound and challenging teachings – delivered just days before His crucifixion. Seated on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem, Jesus responds to His disciples' awe at the magnificent temple with a shocking prophecy: not one stone would remain upon another.What follows is a sweeping prophetic timeline spanning from the apostolic age to the end of human history. As we carefully unpack Mark 13, we discover Jesus addressing three key questions: when would the temple be destroyed, what signs would precede these events, and what would signal the end of the age?This episode tackles the challenging interpretive questions surrounding Jesus's teaching. Was He speaking only about Jerusalem's destruction in 70 AD? Was He describing exclusively end-time events? Or was He weaving together multiple prophetic timelines? We explore how understanding biblical prophecy often requires recognizing that a single passage can contain predictions fulfilled in different eras – just as Jesus demonstrated when reading from Isaiah 61 in the Nazareth synagogue.The concept of God's Kingdom emerges as a central theme, revealing both present and future dimensions. While some emphasize the Kingdom as a spiritual reality in believers' hearts today, and others focus on Christ's future earthly reign, Scripture supports both perspectives. The Kingdom was inaugurated at Christ's first coming but awaits consummation at His return.Jesus's warnings about false messiahs, wars, earthquakes, and famines carry profound significance. Rather than indicators that the end has arrived, Jesus describes these as "birth pangs" – preliminary signs that would intensify over time. History validates His warnings, with numerous false messiahs appearing throughout the centuries and devastating world wars unfolding just as He predicted.Join us as we navigate this prophetic roadmap with careful attention to context, historical fulfillment, and future implications. Whether you're new to biblical prophecy or a seasoned student, this teaching offers fresh insights that will strengthen your faith and prepare your heart for what lies ahead.Support the showThank you for listening!!

Daily Dose of Hope May 6, 2025 Day 2 of Week 6   Scripture – Mark 13   Prayer:  Almighty God, We give you glory and praise.  Thank you for the ways you care for us.  Thank you for the ways you care for our church.  Lord Jesus, help us set aside our scattered thoughts.  Help us push away distractions and truly focus on you.  In these next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers...Holy Spirit, guide our reading and devotional time today.  May we hear a word from you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, friends, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we work our way through Mark 13 and I want to warn you, this is a difficult chapter.  Jesus is speaking about the destruction of the Temple and signs of the end times.    Before we begin to walk through the text, let me start by stating that there are different interpretations of today's Scripture.  I am going to do my best to offer you different things to consider and reflect upon but scholars do not agree on what this text means.  I personally would be skeptical of anyone who claims to understand it completely.    Jesus has just finished teaching at the Temple.  As he and his disciples are leaving, one of the disciples comments on the magnificence of the stones and the building.  It seems kind of an odd comment, except for the fact that these men were from Galilee where things were much smaller and less extravagant.  The Temple was, in fact, quite amazing and something to behold.    Jesus' response probably isn't what the disciple was expecting.  He says that eventually the whole Temple would be destroyed.  Not surprisingly, the men ask when this would occur.  Here is where things get tricky. Jesus begins to speak of when false teachers will come, wars, earthquakes, famines, and many other catastrophic events.  He speaks of the disciples being turned over to be arrested and flogged but also the need for the Gospel to be preached to all nations.  There isn't a timeline presented but Jesus does state that in the midst of all this threat and disaster, the Messiah will be the one to come and gather his people.  Was he referring to events that would happen soon or events at the end times?    The general consensus is that Jesus is speaking of both.  This is an example of apocalyptic literature but it is also speaking of things to come in the lifetime of the disciples.  They would be tortured, arrested, and killed, for their faith in Jesus.  There would be wars.  In fact, the siege of Jerusalem took place in 70 AD, just less than forty years after Jesus spoke these words.  It was then that the Temple was destroyed by the Romans, just as Jesus mentioned.  And over the centuries, we have seen many wars, earthquakes, and famines.  The earth has no shortage of catastrophes to list.    At the same time, there is a warning by Jesus to be ready.  The Messiah is coming and we don't know when that will occur.  Jesus is returning to judge the living and the dead.  The disciples thought his return would be in their lifetime but it wasn't.  Many people have predicted when it will happen and they have all been wrong.  Jesus himself is quite clear that the day and the hour are unknown.    I find it fascinating how people have been trying to predict the end of time for hundreds, possibly thousands of years.  Around the world, people have pointed to various geographical and sociological signs and said, “This day will be doomsday!” I've been around many people in Christian circles who want to point to this event or that event and say, “The end times must be near.” And yet, Jesus clearly warns us against doing this in today's reading.  As Christians, there is not anything for which we need to fear.  We simply have to be ready.  Are you ready for when Jesus returns?    Take some time today and think about this.  Spend time with Jesus in prayer.   Let's close today's devotional with Psalm 24, which points to Jesus' second coming as the King of Glory...   The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,    the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it on the seas    and established it on the waters. 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?    Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,    who does not trust in an idol    or swear by a false god. 5 They will receive blessing from the Lord    and vindication from God their Savior. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,    who seek your face, God of Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, you gates;    be lifted up, you ancient doors,    that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory?    The Lord strong and mighty,    the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, you gates;    lift them up, you ancient doors,    that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory?    The Lord Almighty—     he is the King of glory. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Mark 13:24–37 presents Jesus' closing words in the Olivet Discourse, describing cosmic upheaval following the tribulation, the visible return of the Son of Man, the gathering of the elect, and a call to discern the signs like the fig tree. He warns that no one knows the exact day or hour, emphasizing constant alertness and readiness for His return.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

Jesus is in Jerusalem and the Passover is drawing near, after which, we know that Jesus is falsely accused of blasphemy, mocked, beaten, sentenced death, and unjustly executed on the cross. Before that time arrives, Jesus has much to say to his disciples about the end of days and the endurance required to be a disciple. Persecutions will increase, as will false messiahs. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the words of Jesus will never pass away. Finally, no one knows the day or the hour when the end will come, therefore, his disciples should stay alert. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Lead Pastor Caleb Click walks through the second half of the Book of Mark, a series he began in Spring 2024. If the first half of Mark is all about who Jesus is, the back half is about what he's come to do. Jesus upsets all his disciples' expectations for the Messiah by relentlessly pointing them towards the necessity of the cross while also showing his heart for us because; as awful as the cross is, he never turns away from it. He has come not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). The cross is ever before Jesus, and he would have it be ever before his ransomed people as we follow after him.

Jesus didn't give us Mark 13 so we can overlay modern events on it like some apocalyptic decoder ring. He's being pastoral. He talks about some tough stuff—wars, betrayal, suffering, false teachers, and the end of days. But the heart of it is this: “How are you going to respond when this happens?” In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse explore Mark 13 and living with eternity in mind.   Show Notes: Check out the message: Jesus Is Coming Back, Stay Awake! - https://youtu.be/wT-iS6qRtWE

His four closest apostles later ask Him about this devastating event. Jesus tells them that many things must happen first, and they should not believe those who claim to know the time of the temple's destruction. The gospel must first be preached. The apostles would face heavy persecution before it happened. But when the attack draws near, He warns them to flee to the mountains and get far away from Jerusalem. It will be a judgment on the Jews and the destruction will be accomplished by Jesus. These things would happen during their generation. The disciples are warned not to be misled by false teachers, but to stay alert. No one knows the day or the hour.  Jesus describes the destruction of Jerusalem. It was the judgment of Christ after He ascended to heaven, but it was carried out by the Roman government. Jerusalem was destroyed, many Jews were killed, and the temple was completely dismantled. This was God's punishment upon the Jews for killing His Son and refusing His kingdom. This took place in 70 A.D. Leading up to it, there were rumors and false prophecies. Jesus was warning about that decades in advance. The key was to stay alert and ready to go. This has clear parallels to the destruction that is coming in the final judgment and our need to be alert and prepared. No one knows the day or the hour.  Dear Father, we know You took no joy in the destruction of the Jewish city, temple, and people. Your judgment was forced by their refusal to honor Christ. They were warned, and most did not listen. Great God, we pray for open hearts and ears. Help us to commit to Christ and to wait for His return. Sadly, it will also be a judgment day against the ungodly, and it will come on a day no one knows. We want to be ready. Please discipline us to be on the alert, so we will be saved when that day comes.     Thought Questions: -       God destroyed His temple because of unbelief among the Jews. What does that tell you about how serious the Father is about faithful living? -       Before the judgment day of God, the apostles would have to face persecution and trust in the Spirit. Are you prepared to do the same today? -       There is a final day of judgment coming. What are the daily things you think and do to make sure you are always prepared for His return?
