Today we are going to study my favorite chapter. In chapter 13 I found my destiny, and I hope you will too. Did you ever wonder that there was more to Gods word than you’ve been taught? Well, there is, find why you were born in these times. Find your destiny. With that, let’s begin, and Mark 13 and verse 1 reads.
Mark 13
Mar.13:1] And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Look at these buildings and see what man has accomplished.
Mar.13:2] And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
At the second advent, Christ will come down and that time he shakes heaven and earth.
Mar.13:3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
[4] Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
In Matthew 24:3 the question is at the end of the world which is the second advent. Jesus is going to give us the 7 seals. Now, the seals are not in chronicle order but in order of importance for knowledge.
Mar.13:5] And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
[6] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
We are going to go back and forth between Revelations 6 and Mark 13. This is the first seal. So, lets see what Rev.6 has to say about the first seal.
Rev.6:1] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
[2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
This is the Antichrist. This word “bow” is toxon in the Greek.(G5115) and means “a cheap fabric, an imitation. So, Jesus is warning first know that the Antichrist comes first. There will be no flying away. Back to Mark and verse 7 reads.
Mar.13:7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
This is the second seal. This is the war horse. Now we go back to Rev.6:3-4, and it reads.
Rev.6:3] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
[4] And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Back to Mark13 and verse 8
Mar.13:8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
The third seal. Back to Rev.6:5-6 and it reads.
Rev.6:5] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
[6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
These balances are not equal, a penny was a days’ wages back then. Meaning you pay a days’ wages for a loaf of bread. Check your grocery bill lately. The oil is the truth that the two witnesses bring for his elect. And the wine is the blood of Christ. Back to Mar.13 and verse 9 reads.
Mar.13:9] But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
The fourth seal. We will as Gods elect be delivered up to Satan (the antichrist). To give the testimony of Jesus Christ. Back to Rev.6:7-8 reads.
Rev.6:7] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
[8] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
This is why we put on the gospel armor, to stand before Satan. Check out this word “hell” in your Strongs’. Back to Mark13 and verse 10 reads.
Mar.13:10] And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
[11] But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Here is the fifth seal, this is our destiny, this is why we are here at this time. To be a witness for Him. Do not premeditate what you will say but, the LORD will give it to you in that hour. What hour? The hour of Temptation. This is when Gods elect could commit the unpardonable sin. By denying the Holy Spirit from speaking thru us. The patients of the saints. Be bold, and wait for the Lord to do the speaking for it will be in that cloven tongue that all nations will understand. Acts 2. Joel 2. Back to mark and it reads.
Mar.13:12] Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
This also being the sixth seal, the antichrist is here. These are the family members that think the antichrist is the real Christ. They are deceived and love you so much they will deliver you up to him for a conversion. This is our destiny. Also notice how fast the sixth seal comes after the fifth seal.
Mar.13:13] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[14] But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Dan.9:27 and 2The.2:4. Both speak of this moment. Flee Judah because Christ warned us those buildings would be brought down, at his coming.
Mar.13:15] And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
[16] And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
You won’t have time to gather your stuff. The one on the house top is the watchman, the one in the field kept working and was not taken first. The one taken first was taken by the antichrist.
Mar.13:17] But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
This is not talking about being pregnant, but the virgin being deceived and with child means you had been seduced from Satan and have been nursing on the lies, when the true bridegroom returns. And if he finds you with child (deceived) he’ll know that you weren’t faithful.
Mar.13:18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Don’t be harvested out of season.
Mar.13:19] For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
[20] And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
In Rev.9 Jesus shortened the time from 7yrs. To 5 months.
Mar.13:21] And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
[22] For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
[23] But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
You are not going to fly away, but if you believe that then you will be deceived, because Satan will say I’ll fly you away. Jesus just said you won’t need any man to tell you because when Jesus returns, we will be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. 1Cor.15:50-55. When Jesus returns, we are changed into our spirit bodies and there will be no flesh anymore. It is the Millennium. And this is the seventh seal.
Mar.13:24] But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
[25] And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
[26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
[27] And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
[28] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
The parable of the fig tree. Jer.24. Jesus just said learn it! This is how you know who the Kenites are. I have been teaching about them since Genesis chapter3. From the beginning.
Mar.13:29] So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
[30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Jesus will not come until all prophesies come to pass. There is no rapture, there is no flying away. I can’t stress that enough as most churches teach this lie.
Mar.13:31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
This heaven and this earth age shall pass away but the word of God shall never pass away. Proving once more we have three heavens and three earth ages. Gen.1:1-2.
Mar.13:32] But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
[33] Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
[34] For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
[35] Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
He gave the four watches of the night. in Joshua 6 he lets us know that early in the morning of the seventh day.
Mar.13:36] Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
[37] And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
As watchmen we must warn them and speak unto them or their blood is on our hands. Ezekiel 33. Let’s go to his throne.
Father, we thank you for your word and ask that you bless all that love you in Jesus’s precious name, Amen.
