[:en]Thoughts from Mark 13[:]

[:en]What are signs of the end times?

1. Wars among nations (v. 7)
2. Earthquakes and famines (v. 8)
3. Persecution of Christians (v. 9-11)
4. Betrayal of family members (v. 12)
5. False Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles (vs. 22)
6. The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light (v. 24)
7. the stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken (v. 25)

Advice of Jesus:  Be on guard! Be alert!  You do not know when that time will come. (v. 33) Therefore keep watch because you do not know when when the owner of the house will come back.  So I say to everyone:   WATCH! (vs. 35-37)_[:]
