Trust the Timing to God.
Today, Pastor Michael is starting us off right on eschatology, a big word that means the science of the last things. If only we had someone on our side who could help us understand time and the last times. This concludes Pastor Michael’s study on the end times.
We find Jesus telling a story about a fig tree. The signs Jesus talks about in this parable are during the Tribulation. The message is for the future generation that will live during that time. And Jesus tells us that a fig tree, when sprouting leaves, shows that summer is coming. Similarly, when folks in this Tribulation period see events coming, they will know He is near. “Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will never pass away.”
The core of today’s message is, "Be ready and trust the timing to God."
(CSB Bible Notes) Just as Jesus’s followers knew how to read the signs of the coming summer, so also when they saw these things happening they were to know that a cataclysmic event was near. It is unclear whether Jesus was referring to Jerusalem’s fall or his return in the end time.
Verses can be found in Mark 13: 28 - 37.
