As we read this chapter in Mark, we are warned of signs of the End of the Age. As I read them, I immediately thought of the Chilean earthquake that happened on February 11. This earthquake happened in the same location and a year to the month from the one that caused a tsunami in 2010. Scripture points to “nation will rise against nation” which brings to mind the turmoil in Egypt. Are these signs of the end?
For years many people have felt they could predict the end because of signs like these. But Scripture points out in verse 32, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” It is wise to prepare, to not be sleeping, to be on watch for the time will come and we want to be ready!
Heavenly Father, help us to be ready for your Son’s second coming. Help us to be on guard and guide us with your holy word. In Christ’s name, Amen.
