21Just then he looked up and saw the rich people dropping offerings in the collection plate.G1161G308G1492G4145G906G846G1435G1519G1049 2Then he saw a poor widow put in two pennies.G1161G1492G2532G5100G3998G5503G906G1563G1417G3016 3He said, "The plain truth is that this widow has given by far the largest offering today.G2532G2036G230G3004G5213G3754G3778G4434G5503G906G4119G3956 4All these others made offerings that they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford—she gave her all!"G1063G537G3778G1537G846G4052G906G1519G1435G2316G1161G3778G846G1537G846G5303G906G537G979G3739G2192

Watch Out for Doomsday Deceivers

5One day people were standing around talking about the Temple, remarking how beautiful it was, the splendor of its stonework and memorial gifts. Jesus said,G2532G5100G3004G4012G2411G3754G2885G2570G3037G2532G334G2036 6"All this you're admiring so much—the time is coming when every stone in that building will end up in a heap of rubble."G5023G3739G2334G2250G2064G1722G3739G863G3756G863G3037G1909G3037G3739G2647G3756G2647 7They asked him, "Teacher, when is this going to happen? What clue will we get that it's about to take place?"G1161G1905G846G3004G1320G3767G4219G2071G5023G2071G2532G5101G4592G3752G5023G3195G1096 8He said, "Watch out for the doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, 'I'm the One,' or, 'The end is near.' Don't fall for any of that.G1161G2036G991G4105G3361G4105G1063G4183G2064G1909G3450G3686G3004G3754G1473G1510G2532G2540G1448G4198G3361G3767G3694G846 9When you hear of wars and uprisings, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history and no sign of the end."G1161G3752G191G4171G2532G181G4422G3361G4422G1063G5023G1163G4412G1096G235G5056G3756G2112 10He went on, "Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over.G5119G3004G846G1484G1453G1909G1484G2532G932G1909G932 11Huge earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. You'll think at times that the very sky is falling.G5037G3173G4578G2071G2596G5117G2532G3042G2532G3061G5037G5400G2532G3173G4592G2071G575G3772 12"But before any of this happens, they'll arrest you, hunt you down, and drag you to court and jail. It will go from bad to worse, dog-eat-dog, everyone at your throat because you carry my name.G1161G4253G537G5130G1911G846G5495G1909G5209G2532G1377G3860G1519G4864G2532G5438G71G1909G935G2532G2232G1752G3450G3686G1752 13You'll end up on the witness stand, called to testify.G1161G576G5213G1519G3142 14Make up your mind right now not to worry about it.G5087G3767G1519G5216G2588G3361G4304G626 15I'll give you the words and wisdom that will reduce all your accusers to stammers and stutters.G1063G1473G1325G5213G4750G2532G4678G3739G3956G5213G480G1410G3756G1410G471G3761G436 16"You'll even be turned in by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. Some of you will be killed.G1161G3860G2532G5259G1118G2532G80G2532G4773G2532G5384G2532G1537G5216G2289 17There's no telling who will hate you because of me.G2532G2071G3404G5259G3956G1223G3450G3686 18Even so, every detail of your body and soul—even the hairs of your head!—is in my care; nothing of you will be lost.G2532G3364G2359G1537G5216G2776G622 19Staying with it—that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved.G1722G5216G5281G2932G5216G5590

Vengeance Day

20"When you see soldiers camped all around Jerusalem, then you'll know that she is about to be devastated.G1161G3752G1492G2419G2944G5259G4760G5119G1097G3754G2050G846G1448 21If you're living in Judea at the time, run for the hills. If you're in the city, get out quickly. If you're out in the fields, don't go home to get your coat.G5119G5343G1722G2449G5343G1519G3735G2532G1633G1722G3319G846G1633G2532G1525G3361G1722G5561G1525G1519G846 22This is Vengeance Day—everything written about it will come to a head.G3754G3778G1526G2250G1557G3956G3588G1125G4137 23Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard. Incredible misery! Torrential rage!G1161G3759G1722G1064G2192G2532G2337G1722G1565G2250G1063G2071G3173G318G1909G1093G2532G3709G1722G5129G2992 24People dropping like flies; people dragged off to prisons; Jerusalem under the boot of barbarians until the nations finish what was given them to do.G2532G4098G4750G3162G2532G163G1519G3956G1484G2532G2419G2071G3961G5259G1484G891G2540G1484G4137 25"It will seem like all hell has broken loose—sun, moon, stars, earth, sea,G2532G2071G4592G1722G2246G2532G4582G2532G798G2532G1909G1093G4928G1484G1722G640G2281G2532G4535G2278 26in an uproar and everyone all over the world in a panic, the wind knocked out of them by the threat of doom, the powers-that-be quaking.G444G674G575G5401G2532G4329G1904G3625G1063G1411G3772G4531 27"And then—then!—they'll see the Son of Man welcomed in grand style—a glorious welcome!G2532G5119G3700G5207G444G2064G1722G3507G3326G1411G2532G4183G1391 28When all this starts to happen, up on your feet. Stand tall with your heads high. Help is on the way!"G1161G5130G756G1096G352G2532G1869G5216G2776G1360G5216G629G1448 29He told them a story. "Look at a fig tree. Any tree for that matter.G2532G2036G846G3850G1492G4808G2532G3956G1186 30When the leaves begin to show, one look tells you that summer is right around the corner.G3752G2235G4261G991G1097G575G1438G3754G2330G2076G2235G1451 31The same here—when you see these things happen, you know God's kingdom is about here.G3779G2532G5210G3752G1492G5023G1096G1097G3754G932G2316G2076G1451 32Don't brush this off: I'm not just saying this for some future generation, but for this one, too—these things will happen.G281G3004G5213G3754G3778G1074G3928G3364G3928G302G2193G3956G1096 33Sky and earth will wear out; my words won't wear out.G3772G2532G1093G3928G1161G3450G3056G3928G3364G3928 34"But be on your guard. Don't let the sharp edge of your expectation get dulled by parties and drinking and shopping. Otherwise, that Day is going to take you by complete surprise, spring on you suddenly like a trap,G1161G4337G1438G3379G5216G2588G925G1722G2897G2532G3178G2532G3308G982G2532G1565G2250G2186G1909G5209G160 35for it's going to come on everyone, everywhere, at once.G1063G5613G3803G1904G1909G3956G2521G1909G4383G3956G1093 36So, whatever you do, don't go to sleep at the switch. Pray constantly that you will have the strength and wits to make it through everything that's coming and end up on your feet before the Son of Man."G69G3767G1189G1722G3956G2540G2443G2661G1628G3956G5023G3195G1096G2532G2476G1715G5207G444 37He spent his days in the Temple teaching, but his nights out on the mountain called Olives.G1161G2250G2258G1321G1722G2411G1161G3571G1831G835G1519G3735G2564G1636 38All the people were up at the crack of dawn to come to the Temple and listen to him.G2532G3956G2992G3719G4314G846G1722G2411G191G846
