Mark 13




13:1 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 Judaea 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.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:" Matthew 24:29

We are still here and the world is in tribulation; it just probably hasn't hit some people enough to make them realize that we are not waiting for the beginning of 7 years of Tribulation.

I think there are quite a few Believers who are keenly aware there is something drastically wrong with the teachings of their churches. Their former teachings just do not fit the many prophetic scriptures in the Bible because the Bible has been reduced by the Powers in High Places who are hiding the very scriptural evidence that would help us to question their falsehoods.

Tribulation has always been in this world. The End Days consists of Great Tribulation. Now, does that sound like we ought to divide up that period into a 7 year period?

"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Matthew 24:30

Shouldn't it be considered, "How much time is there between the Sign seen in the Heavens, which I believe is Nibiru, because that word means, "From the Throne of God" until the actual appearing of Yahushua?

The sun & moon are not acting like they normally do. Who is messing with them? We know that NASA had filed papers quite a few years ago that allowed them to build their own suns. It is being reported that there are now 4 suns being seen by around the world. The answer can only be that the Anti-Christ system is doing everything they can to thwart the plan of The Almighty. He says the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light.


"And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. – Matthew 24:31

That occasion is also seen in Revelation 7 when the 144,000 are sealed from the 12 Tribes of Israel (which is not referring to just Jews but all of the Elect, both Hebrew and Gentile who make up the ecclesia) These Gentiles have been grafted into Spiritual Israel .

I know, I know, what most of you are thinking about this business of "Spiritual Israel" because I used to think the same thing. But after, this was put into my thinking, I found the scriptures in both Romans and Hebrews that speaks of the two becoming one and Wow! Did that ever open my understanding much more.

Goodness, there is ample proof of the grafting in of the wild with the natural. That is not speaking of the two houses but the natural born, Israel to the outsiders, the Gentiles who became Born-Again.

I know the pre-tribbers want to say that it is Israel and Judah become one again but that is just not the case. Both are the Natural Seed and yes, these two Houses will have their sticks united. The Northern House has Land Ownership but Judah holds the Scepter of Ruler-ship. A/C wants that scepter and he means to steal it. Right now, they still are not of one accord.

And yes, there will be some of natural Israel that get caught up with the Tares of the Unbelievers. It happened before the Flood of Noah. We know how many actually survived that flood, don't we? A lot of the Natural Seed was destroyed because of their great sins.

That is who Yahushua came to save...Spiritual Israel. Let us not forget that and say these are only natural Israel.

Do you see what the Church headed up by Rome has done? They have separated Spiritual Israel into two groups...the Hebrews who they say killed the Messiah and the Gentiles (themselves) who they proclaim are the true believers. That is malarkey. He, (God come in the Flesh) came to offer Himself for all that would believe upon Him.)

But back to these 144,000 Elect....they are taken to some place of safety here on Earth. Then, after that, John sees a huge amount of people from all over the world and asks who they are. "And he said, “These are they who have come out of great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Questions:

How long is this group of the Elect given to be held in safety in the Wilderness? And how long is the A/C given to continue his rule?

Answer: They both are given the time line of 3 1/2 years or 42 months.

Certainly, some of you pre-7 year Tribulation people have to be thinking about this fact. I was once one of you and I came to this conclusion and that happened before I ever found this great web-site that has expanded even more of my understanding of All of God's Word...not just the 60 books that the Vatican allowed us to have.

Pay attention to the many scriptures that Steven posts on this site because, when read in context, will erase many of the fables that have been ingrained within us through the Mother and her daughters churches.
