Signs of the End Times and our strategy

Luke 21:1-19

“Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

The time of the destruction of the Temple: “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life.

Why?

Jesus knew how much a man devotes to the Lord, most people devote part of their own, but this poor widow devoted her whole wealth. This poor widow has faith in the Lord.

Signs of the End Times: many false prophets come in the name of Jesus, wars are uprisings, nation will against nation, all of these are happening now. Serious national disasters come as earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and fearful events.

Our strategy: make up your mind not to worry beforehand about how you will defend yourselves and Stand firm faith in Jesus.

How?

Stand firm in the stone of Jesus and Jesus will help us gain life. Learn from the poor widow who trusts in the Lord in whole her heart, and doesn't worry about her life.
