Mark 13:1-13

MARKED AS DISCIPLES

MARK 13:1-2

AND AS HE CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE, ONE OF

HIS DISCIPLES SAID TO HIM, “LOOK, TEACHER,

WHAT WONDERFUL STONES AND WHAT

WONDERFUL BUILDINGS!” 2 AND JESUS SAID TO

HIM, “DO YOU SEE THESE GREAT BUILDINGS?

THERE WILL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPON

ANOTHER THAT WILL NOT BE THROWN DOWN.”

JEREMIAH 9:6-7, 11

“HEAPING OPPRESSION UPON OPPRESSION, AND

DECEIT UPON DECEIT, THEY REFUSE TO KNOW ME,”

DECLARES THE LORD. 7 THEREFORE THUS SAYS THE

LORD OF HOSTS: "BEHOLD, I WILL REFINE THEM

AND TEST THEM, FOR WHAT ELSE CAN I DO,

BECAUSE OF MY PEOPLE? … 11 I WILL MAKE

JERUSALEM A HEAP OF RUINS, A LAIR OF JACKALS,

AND I WILL MAKE THE CITIES OF JUDAH A

DESOLATION, WITHOUT INHABITANT."

EZEKIEL 24:20-21, 24

THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME: 21”SAY TO

THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD:

‘BEHOLD, I WILL PROFANE MY SANCTUARY, THE

PRIDE OF YOUR POWER, THE DELIGHT OF YOUR

EYES, AND THE YEARNING OF YOUR SOUL, AND

YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS WHOM YOU

LEFT BEHIND SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD … 24

WHEN THIS COMES, THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I

AM THE LORD GOD.’”

2 CHRONICLES 36:17-21

THEREFORE HE BROUGHT UP AGAINST THEM THE

KING OF THE CHALDEANS, WHO KILLED THEIR

YOUNG MEN WITH THE SWORD IN THE HOUSE OF

THEIR SANCTUARY AND HAD NO COMPASSION ON

YOUNG MAN OR VIRGIN, OLD MAN OR AGED. HE

GAVE THEM ALL INTO HIS HAND. 18 AND ALL THE

VESSELS OF THE HOUSE OF GOD, GREAT AND

SMALL, AND THE TREASURES OF THE HOUSE OF THE

LORD, AND THE TREASURES OF THE KING AND OF

HIS PRINCES, ALL THESE HE BROUGHT TO BABYLON.

2 CHRONICLES 36:17-21 (CONT.)

19 AND THEY BURNED THE HOUSE OF GOD AND

BROKE DOWN THE WALL OF JERUSALEM AND

BURNED ALL ITS PALACES WITH FIRE AND

DESTROYED ALL ITS PRECIOUS VESSELS. 20 HE TOOK

INTO EXILE IN BABYLON THOSE WHO HAD ESCAPED

FROM THE SWORD, AND THEY BECAME SERVANTS TO

HIM AND TO HIS SONS UNTIL THE ESTABLISHMENT

OF THE KINGDOM OF PERSIA, 21 TO FULFILL THE

WORD OF THE LORD BY THE MOUTH OF JEREMIAH …

MARK 13:3-8

AND AS HE SAT ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES

OPPOSITE THE TEMPLE, PETER AND JAMES

AND JOHN AND ANDREW ASKED HIM

PRIVATELY, 4 “TELL US, WHEN WILL THESE

THINGS BE, AND WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN

WHEN ALL THESE THINGS ARE ABOUT TO BE

ACCOMPLISHED?” 5 AND JESUS BEGAN TO SAY

TO THEM, “SEE THAT NO ONE LEADS YOU

ASTRAY. 6 MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME,

SAYING, ‘I AM HE!’

MARK 13:3-8 (CONT.)

AND THEY WILL LEAD MANY ASTRAY. 7 AND

WHEN YOU HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF

WARS, DO NOT BE ALARMED. THIS MUST TAKE

PLACE, BUT THE END IS NOT YET. 8 FOR NATION

WILL RISE AGAINST NATION, AND KINGDOM

AGAINST KINGDOM. THERE WILL BE

EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES; THERE

WILL BE FAMINES. THESE ARE BUT THE

BEGINNING OF THE BIRTH PAINS.

MARK 13:9-13

“BUT BE ON YOUR GUARD. FOR THEY WILL

DELIVER YOU OVER TO COUNCILS, AND YOU

WILL BE BEATEN IN SYNAGOGUES, AND YOU

WILL STAND BEFORE GOVERNORS AND KINGS

FOR MY SAKE, TO BEAR WITNESS BEFORE

THEM. 10 AND THE GOSPEL MUST FIRST BE

PROCLAIMED TO ALL NATIONS.

MARK 13:9-13 (CONT.)

11 AND WHEN THEY BRING YOU TO TRIAL AND

DELIVER YOU OVER, DO NOT BE ANXIOUS

BEFOREHAND WHAT YOU ARE TO SAY, BUT SAY

WHATEVER IS GIVEN YOU IN THAT HOUR, FOR IT

IS NOT YOU WHO SPEAK, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. 12 AND BROTHER WILL DELIVER BROTHER OVER

TO DEATH, AND THE FATHER HIS CHILD,

MARK 13:9-13 (CONT.)

AND CHILDREN WILL RISE AGAINST PARENTS

AND HAVE THEM PUT TO DEATH. 13 AND YOU

WILL BE HATED BY ALL FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.

BUT THE ONE WHO ENDURES TO THE END WILL

BE SAVED.
