Luke 21:5–11
When some were speaking about the temple,
how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, Jesus
said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone
will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.” They asked him, “Teacher,
when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?”
And he said, “Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name
and say, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is near!’ Do not go after them. When you hear
of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take
place first, but the end will not follow immediately.” Then he said to them, “Nation
will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be great
earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be
dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.”
Reflection
• Am
I also anxious to know
what signs to look out for when the End times come?
• Can
I ask Jesus help me to
remember that the future lies in his hands and nothing can destroy or hurt me
if I remain true to him as Lord of my live?
