Lesson 122: What not to do when it seems like the end of the world but isn’t, Part II (Luke 21:12-24)

(Part II) People have a wide range of responses to end-times prophesy. Some might experience fear, others contemplation, perhaps intrigue, or there are those who might even try to exploit or capitalize on those very things that other people are feeling. When Jesus talked about this topic, He provided both information and instruction. In other words, He told us not only about some of the things that would lead up to the end of the age, but also about how we should process those facts and prepare for the things that will accompany them. In a second look at the text at hand, Pastor Daniel takes us through Christ’s words and encourages us to remember that “whether the entire cosmos is coming to an end or your individual world is crumbling, God’s kingdom stands—act accordingly. Prepare to persevere during persecution.”
