Thursday, November 27, 2014 - If the end were to come today would you be able to hold your head high fearlessly? If No, what will you do about it today?

To read the texts click on the texts: Rev 18:1-2, 21-23; 19:1-3,9; Lk 21:20-28

The text of today, continues the Eschatological Discourse, but speaks now of the destruction of Jerusalem and other cosmological signs which announce the coming of the Son of Man. 

Josephus the Jewish historian recorded the horrors of the Jewish war, which lasted from April until August of the year 70 C.E. It was terrible for all the inhabitants and many were killed during it. The Romans razed the whole city to the ground. Though these things will happen and violence will seem to have won the day, the disciples must continue to do what they are doing and without fear. The Son of Man will come with great power and glory. His coming will result in salvation for all who believe.

The disciples are challenged to hold their heads high and to stand up straight because God's representative is their Saviour.
