Mark 13 (6th November) - Sky

In Mark 13, we see Jesus Prophesizing the end of age.

Jesus predicts a time of unequalled distress will occur on earth between the temple’s desolation and Chrit’s return. During this extended period od time, Gentiles will overrun Jerusalem. This distress, sometimes referred to as the tribulation, may become particularly intense just before Christ’s return.

Its interesting that even Jesus does not know when HE is returning. As Christ became human, he gave up the right for divine abilities for his own purposes (Phil 2:6-8). Because Jesus submitted to the Father in everything, he left the matter of the timing of his return to HIM. People today who claim to know the day of Christ’s return are claiming to know more than Jesus did are false prophets
