Watch and Pray: Reflections on the Olivet Discourse
Jesus sits on the Mount of Olives and reveals the signs that will herald the end. Wars, famines, earthquakes and false messiahs will shake the world. Yet this is not a message of despair but a promise that the eternal Word will stand when all else crumbles. Believers are warned to stay alert. Deception, betrayal and persecution will test faith. When the abomination appears, flee without looking back and pray that your journey is not hindered. Those who endure will be saved. The parable of the fig tree reminds us that visible signs point to His return. No one knows the exact hour, so watch and pray at all times. Christ promises to come unexpectedly, not in judgment but in victory, and to find His servants ready.
