Mark 13:1-37 KJV
[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: [6] for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. [9] But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. [10] And the gospel must first be published among all nations. [11] But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. [12] Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. [13] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. [14] But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains: [15] and let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: [16] and let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. [17] But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. [19] For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. [20] And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. [21] And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: [22] for false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. [23] But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. [24] But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, [25] and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. [26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. [27] And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. [28] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: [29] so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. [30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. [31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. [32] But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. [33] Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. [34] For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. [35] Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: [36] lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. [37] And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Note for 20250130
You know, the interesting thing is that Jesus was speaking to Peter, James, John and Andrew; which means that they are those who published this abroad first. The Gospel had to be published first to all nations. Now some will say, this has not happened yet, that the Word of GOD has not been published in all languages yet, but how many of those have learned another language for the sake of self, in which the Word of GOD is published. Besides, published here, points to being preached. These things are too high for me, for only GOD knows the day. How often have you heard this message preached, from any of the accounts that was given of it, in the Word of GOD, or by the Word of GOD? Is the Word not in our hearts?
Mark 13:11 KJV
[11] But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

The believer in Jesus Christ is like a fireman, what the world fears, we walk towards. We know that He that comes to judge the World is our Lord and Saviour. When we see all these things, we look up, for we know that our redemption draws near, whether we are put to death for the sake of Jesus Christ, or whether we are called up into heaven, yet being alive. The change will come, for it is of GOD, that the sheep be gathered with the sheep; and the goats with the goats.
Maybe you have forgotten a little, but by the Spirit may you be reminded.
Revelation 19:7-10 KJV - The Marriage of the Lamb
[7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. [10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Do not give heed to what you will say in the hour of your trial, for it shall be given to you in the same hour. But know that all these things will come, they must come, for it is prophesied. We are on watch for the Groom. That's right we are awaiting this feast, we are invited, even betrothed to the Lamb of GOD. For all the shifting of sands and peoples, the roaring and the rising of the sea; for all the falling stones and flattening of mountains, even for the rising valleys; all of it must come, as surely as the coming of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
It appears that man still doesn't understand, Christ had to die and make atonement for us, for man could not save himself. By the Love of GOD was His only Begotten Son sent to us, and by the hands of the accusers was the Son of GOD placed on trial. They found the innocent guilty, and hung Him on a cross, so the guilty may be saved. So, when you see all of these signs, even when those in Judea flee from where they are, for the abomination that stands where it shouldn't, then know that your redemption draws near.
Can I ask you a question? Who builds a high tower to himself, when the rapport has already gone out that it will be destroyed? Who dives into the ocean, with a coming tsunami in view? Who builds his house in the path of a flood, when the water is on the way? I wonder what Solomon may have written with these in mind. My hope is not in riches, or in men; but my Hope is in our Father in Heaven, and Him that He sent. So, I will stand for Him to whom both the mountains and the valleys are as flat plains. For the sea will fail, and the mountain tops will crumble and the valleys will be filled; and yet, the Word of GOD will remain.
Selah, Shalom

Deuteronomy 26:12-15 KJV
[12] When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; [13] then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them: [14] I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. [15] Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
