Mark 13
2
Mark 13 As he was leaving the temple, one of his
disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What
massive stones! What magnificent buildings!"
"Do you see all these great buildings?" replied
Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on
another every one will be thrown down." As
Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite
the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked
him privately, "Tell us, when will these things
happen? And what will be the sign that they are
all about to be fulfilled?" Jesus said to them
"Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will
come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will
deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of
wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen,
but the end is still to come.
3
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in
various places, and famines. These are the
beginning of birth pains. "You must be on your
guard. You will be handed over to the local
councils and flogged in the synagogues. On
account of me you will stand before governors and
kings as witnesses to them. And the gospel must
first be preached to all nations. Whenever you
are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry
beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever
is given you at the time, for it is not you
speaking, but the Holy Spirit. "Brother will
betray brother to death, and a father his child.
Children will rebel against their parents and
have them put to death. All men will hate you
because of me, but he who stands firm to the end
will be saved.
4
"When you see 'the abomination that causes
desolation' standing where it does not belonglet
the reader understandthen 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 nowand 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 electif that were
possible.
5
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.
6
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. No one knows
about that day or hour, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on
guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time
will come. It's like a man going away He leaves
his house and puts his servants in charge, each
with his assigned task, and tells the one at the
door to keep watch. "Therefore keep watch
because you do not know when the owner of the
house will come backwhether in the evening, or
at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at
dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find
you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to
everyone 'Watch!' "

Joel 228-32 (New International Version) The Day
of the LORD "And afterward, I will pour out my
Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters
will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions. Even on my
servants, both men and women, I will pour out my
Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in
the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and
billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to
darkness and the moon to blood before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And
everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will
be saved for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said,
among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

Option 1 Create creatures that cannot sin.
Anytime God presses a button, we all bow down and
worship (that is, we become mere robots). No
True Relationship Option 2 Create creatures
that are able to choose, but unable to sin. No
True Choice Option 3 Create creatures that
are able to choose, but as soon as someone wants
to do something evil, God intervenes without
changing the basic natural laws of the world. No
one will survive Option 4 Create creatures
who are free to choose and sin all they want, but
save everyone in the end. No holiness and no
solution for sin
18
God decides that the solution to the problem of
suffering is not to do away with choice but to
use love to convince people to choose Him and His
ways, and then people like us to choose to be
transformed by the Holy Spirit. As we are
transformed, we will show others that love, that
choice and that transformation which will
overcome the pain and suffering, first in our
lives and then in the world at large.
