HEAR Journaling - Mark Chapter 13
Highlight - Mark 13 New Living Translation
14 “The day is coming when you will see the sacrilegious object that causes desecration[e] standing where he[f]should not be.” (Reader, pay attention!) “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills.
…19 For there will be greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world. And it will never be so great again. 20 In fact, unless the Lord shortens that time of calamity, not a single person will survive. But for the sake of his chosen ones he has shortened those days.
21 “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 23 Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time! 24 “At that time, after the anguish of those days,
the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.[g]
26 Then everyone will see the Son of Man[h] coming on the clouds with great power and glory.[i] 27 And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world[j]—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
28 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 29 In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that his return is very near, right at the door. 30 I tell you the truth, this generation[k] will not pass from the scene before all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
32 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. 33 And since you don’t know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert[l]!
Explain – Jesus explains to the disciples about the coming troubling times, but He is also explaining end times events that apply to everyone as well. He says that He will send out angles to gather His chosen ones from all over the world. He cautions that no one knows the day and time, but people who are paying attention will recognize the change like changing seasons. Stay alert, He says.
Apply – We need to abide in Him as He abides in us, obediently and faithfully follow Him moment by moment so that we will not be caught off guard or lured from His will. We must stay alert with the mind of God because we can clearly see the changes in the societies of this world, He is surely coming to get us if not in the rapture He will see us after our passing from this world. He will great us either way, hallelujah! Let’s be ready!
Respond – Lord, thank You for Your Word, Your warnings, and Your loving guidance into all Truth. I seek to follow You, faithfully and obediently.
