“Unleashing God’s Truth One Verse at a Time”
Teaching Scriptures: Mark 13:28-37
“We are looking at Mark chapter 13 and verses 28 through 37. I know most of you have been with us, but for those who have not, this setting is a very important setting. This message given by our Lord is His own message on His Second Coming. This is our Lord's description of the events that lead up to His return. The Scripture says Christ is coming back to judge the ungodly, 2 Thessalonians 1, He is coming back to judge the ungodly. Revelation 19 says the same thing, He is coming back in judgment, crushing devastating judgment on all the ungodly. They will be slain by sword that comes out of His mouth, that is His Word. He will literally speak their death and they will go forever into the Lake of Fire.
He also will establish His earthly Kingdom to fulfill all the promises made both in the Old and the New Testament of His reign on the earth with the saints. That is the great event that culminates human history.
Our Lord had spoken about it to His disciples. The Old Testament prophets had spoken of it. And so they had expectation when on Tuesday of Passion Week, Jesus attacked the temple. The disciples must have known that they were seeing things they didn't expect. On Monday was the triumphal entry, they hailed Him as the Messiah, superficially, but nonetheless. On Tuesday He attacks the Jews and not the Romans and He speaks about His death and even tells a parable on Wednesday about the fact that He is going to be killed. That's not the first time He said that. He had said that on at least three occasions that are recorded in the gospels...”
