The Last Days - Part 2 (Mark 13:14-24)
Bob Schultz, January 25, 2015Part of the Gospel of Mark series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
This Sunday we will study Mark 13:14-23 as Jesus begins to prophecy concerning what will initiate the second half of the seven year Tribulation period. All of this is a gracious act of God so as to give anyone who desires to understand what is happening at this time (if they are alive and experiencing these things) in order to prove that the Bible is true. It also forms a powerful warning for all of us today to flee the wrath of God which is certain and coming.
Mark 13:14–24 (Listen)
14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, 16 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 17 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. 19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.
24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
