Don’t be Deceived. “And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many. “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. “But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. “The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. “When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.” Mark 13:5-13 Jesus predicted that His followers would be severely persecuted by those who hate what He stands for. In the midst of terrible persecutions, however, they could have hope, knowing that salvation was theirs. What are the signs of the end times? There have been people in every generation since Christ’s resurrection claiming to know exactly when Jesus will return. No one has been right yet, however, because Christ will return on God’s timetable, not ours. Jesus predicted that before his return, many believers would be misled by false teachers claiming to have revelations from God. This is why it is vitally important to know God’s Word yourself, and be a part of a bible believing and bible teaching church. “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
