“But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that it may not happen in winter. For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be." Mark 13:14-19 (ESV)
We think we can handle any crisis that comes our way. We make shirts with slogans declaring our cause with the word “strong” after it to show our resiliency. We are beginning to believe that we can face any challenge that comes our way and be victorious.
Jesus makes it clear that there will come a time when the self-inflicted problems on this earth, will be such that no man will be able to withstand them or change them. There will come a time where Godlessness will be evident and punished, a time where God fulfills His promises. Those who prepare for such a moment are wise. Those who ignore God in hopes that this time will never come are foolish. For now, the choice is mine
