Mark 13
The Destruction of the Temple Foretold
Mt 24:1-2; Lk 21:5-6
1 As He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him,
"Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings are here."
2 Jesus answered him, "Do you see these great buildings?
Not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down."
[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!
[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.
Troubles and Persecutions
Mt 24:3-14; Lk 21:7-19
3 (Mt 21:1; Mk 4:34) As He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple,
Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
4 (Ac 1:6-7) "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be
the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?"
5 (Jer 29:8; Eph 5:6) Jesus answered them,
"Take heed lest anyone deceive you.
6 (Mk 13:22; Jer 14:14) Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,'
and will deceive many.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled.
For such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
8 (2Ch 15:6; Isa 19:2) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there
will be famines and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows.
9 (Mt 10:17-18; Mk 13:5) "But take heed. For they will hand you over to
councils, and in the synagogues you will be beaten. You will be brought
before rulers and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.
10 (Mt 24:14; Ro 10:18) And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.
11 (Mt 10:19-21; Lk 12:11-12) But when they arrest you and hand you over,
take no thought beforehand, or premeditate what you should speak.
But speak whatever is given you in that time, for it is not you who speaks,
but the Holy Spirit.
12 (Mt 10:21; Lk 12:52-53) "Now a brother will betray his brother to death,
and the father the son; children will rise up against their parents,
and will cause them to be put to death.
13 (Mt 10:22; Da 12:12) You will be hated by all men for My name's sake.
But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
[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?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
The Great Tribulation
Mt 24:15-28; Lk 21:20-24
14 (Da 9:27; 12:11; 11:31) "When you see the 'abomination of desolation'
(Da 9:27; 11:31.) spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it should
not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee
to the mountains.
15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down
or enter the house to take anything out of his house.
16 Let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.
17 (Lk 23:29) But woe to women who are pregnant
and to those who nurse in those days!
18 Pray that your escape may not be in winter.
19 (Da 12:1; Dt 4:32) For in those days there will be distress
as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God
created to this time, nor ever shall be.
20 (Isa 65:8-9) "Except the Lord shortened the days, no flesh
would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He chose,
He shortened the days.
21 (Lk 21:8) Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!'
or 'Look, there He is!' do not believe it.
22 (Mt 24:24; Mk 13:6) For false christs and false prophets will rise
and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 (2Pe 3:17; Mk 13:5) But take heed. I have told you all things beforehand.
[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:
[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.
[17] But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
[18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
[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.
[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.
Matthew 24:1-25
1 Jesus departed from the temple and was leaving
when His disciples came to show Him the temple buildings.
2 (Lk 19:44) Jesus answered them, "Do you not see all these things?
Truly I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another
that shall not be thrown down."
[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came
to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
[2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
Troubles and Persecutions
Mk 13:3-13; Lk 21:7-19
3 (Mt 21:1; Ac 1:7) As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples
came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be,
and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?"
4 (Jer 29:8; Eph 5:6)Jesus answered them,
"Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 (Mt 24:11; 24:24) For many will come in My name, saying,
'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
6 (2Th 2:2) You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are
not troubled. For all these things must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 (Isa 19:2; Ac 11:28) For nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, epidemics,
and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 (Jn 16:2; Mt 23:34) "Then they will hand you over to be persecuted
and will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10 (Mt 10:21; 11:6) Then many will fall away, and betray one another,
and hate one another.
11 (Mt 7:15; 24:24) And many false prophets will rise and will deceive many.
12 Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 (Mt 10:22; Ro 2:7) But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 (Ro 10:18; Col 1:6; 1:23) And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations,
and then the end will come.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
[4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive
you.
[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and
shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The Great Tribulation
Mk 13:14-23; Lk 21:20-24
15 (Da 9:27; 12:11; Mk 13:14) "So when you see the
'abomination of desolation,' (Da 9:27.) spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 (Mt 10:27) Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything
out of his house.
18 Let him who is in the field not return to take his clothes.
19 Woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse in those days!
20 Pray that your escape will not be in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21 (Da 12:1; Joel 2:2) For then will be great tribulation, such as has
not happened since the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever
shall be.
22 (Isa 65:8-9; Mt 24:24) "Unless those days were shortened, no one would
be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
23 (Lk 21:8) Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ,'
or 'There He is,' do not believe it.
24 (Mt 24:11; 2Th 2:9-11) For false christs and false prophets will
arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible,
even the elect.
25 Listen, I have told you beforehand.
[15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of
his house:
[18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
Luke 21:5-24
The Destruction of the Temple Foretold
Mt 24:1-2; Mk 13:1-2
5 As some spoke of how the temple was adorned
with beautiful stones and gifts, He said,
6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come when
not one stone shall be left on another that will not be thrown down."
[5] And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones
and gifts, he said,
[6] As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which
there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down.
Signs and Persecutions
Mt 24:3-14; Mk 13:3-13
7 (Ac 1:6-7) They asked Him, "Teacher, when will these things be,
and what will be the sign when this is about to happen?"
8 (Jer 29:8; Mt 3:2) He said, "Beware lest you be deceived.
For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,'
and 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them.
9 When you hear of wars and commotions, do not be afraid.
For these things must first take place, but the end will not be at hand."
10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Great earthquakes will occur in various places, and there will be
famines and pestilence. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 (Ac 8:3) "But before all these things, they will seize you
and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons,
and you will be brought before kings and governors for My name's sake.
13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Therefore resolve in your hearts beforehand not to practice your defense.
15 (Jer 1:9; Ac 6:10) For I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your opponents will be able to neither refute nor resist.
16 You will be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends.
And they will put some of you to death.
17 (Jn 15:21; Lk 6:22) You will be hated by all men for My name's sake,
18 (Mt 10:30; 1Sa 14:45) but not a hair of your head shall perish.
19 (Ro 5:3; Heb 10:36) In your endurance you will gain your souls.
[7] And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and
what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
[8] And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore
after them.
[9] But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for
these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
[10] Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom:
[11] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
[12] But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute
you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought
before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
[13] And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
[14] Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye
shall answer:
[15] For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
[16] And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
[17] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
[18] But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
[19] In your patience possess ye your souls.
The Destruction of Jerusalem Foretold
Mt 24:15-21; Mk 13:14-19
20 (Lk 19:43; Da 9:27) "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
then you know that its desolation has drawn near.
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
and let those who are in the city depart, and let not those who are
in the country enter it.
22 (Isa 34:8; 63:4) For these are the days of vengeance,
that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 (Lk 23:29; 1Th 2:16) But woe to those who are pregnant and to those
who nurse in those days! For there will be great distress in the land
and wrath upon this people.
24 (Rev 11:2; Isa 63:18; Ro 11:25) They will fall by the edge of the sword
and will be led away captive to all nations. And Jerusalem will
be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
[20] And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that
the desolation thereof is nigh.
[21] Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them
which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the
countries enter thereinto.
[22] For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written
may be fulfilled.
[23] But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in
those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon
this people.
[24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

24 (Isa 13:10; Eze 32:7) "But in those days, after that distress,
'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give her light;
25 (Isa 34:4) the stars of heaven will fall,
and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken.'
26 (Mt 16:27; Rev 1:7) "Then they will see the Son of Man coming
in clouds with great power and glory.
27 (Dt 30:4; Mt 24:31) Then He will send His angels and gather His elect
from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest
part of heaven.
[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.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Mt 24:32-35; Lk 21:29-33
28 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When her branch is yet tender
and puts outs leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 (Jas 5:9) So also, when you see these things come to pass,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
30 (Mt 24:34; Lk 21:32) Truly I say to you, this generation will not
pass away until all these things happen.
31 (Mt 5:18; Isa 40:8) Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will not pass away.
[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:
[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.
[31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:26-35
26 (Ac 21:38) "So, if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert,'
do not go there; or, 'Look, He is in the private chambers,'
do not believe it.
27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west,
so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 (Lk 17:37) Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be
gathered together.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
[27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the
west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered
together.
The Coming of the Son of Man
Mk 13:24-27; Lk 21:25-28
29 (Isa 13:10; Joel 2:10) "Immediately after the tribulation of those days,
'the sun will be darkened,
the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.' (Joel 2:10.)
30 (Rev 1:7; Da 7:13; Mt 24:3) "Then the sign of the Son of Man will
appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,
and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
31 (Mt 13:41; 1Co 15:52; 1Th 4:16) And He will send His angels with
a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather His elect from
the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven
to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Mk 13:28-31; Lk 21:29-33
32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: When its branch
becomes tender and grows leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 (Jas 5:9) So also, when you shall see all these things,
you know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 (Mt 16:28; 23:36) Truly I say to you, this generation
will not pass away until all these things take place.
35 (Mt 5:18; Ps 102:26) Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will never pass away.
[32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
[33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is
near, even at the doors.
[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these
things be fulfilled.
[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Luke 21:25-33
The Coming of the Son of Man
Mt 24:29-31; Mk 13:24-27
25 (Isa 13:10; 24:23) "There will be signs in the sun and the moon
and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity,
the sea and the waves roaring;
26 (Mt 24:29) men fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming
on the inhabited earth. For the powers of heaven will be shaken.
27 (Da 7:13; Mt 26:64) Then they will see the Son of Man coming in
a cloud with power and great glory.
28 (Ro 8:23; Eph 4:30) When these things begin to happen,
look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near."
[25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the
waves roaring;
[26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory.
[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Mt 24:32-35; Mk 13:28-31
29 He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 When they are sprouting leaves already,
you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 So in like manner, when you see these things happening,
you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 (Mt 24:34; Mk 13:30) "Truly, I tell you, this generation will not pass
away until all these things are fulfilled.
33 (Mt 5:18; Ps 102:26) Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will not pass away.
[29] And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
[30] When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that
summer is now nigh at hand.
[31] So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the
kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
[32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be
fulfilled.
[33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
2) Our Daily Bread for 29 October 2026 titled
Hope in a Hero
1 Chronicles 16:12-27
12 (Ps 78:43; 103:2) Remember His wonders which He has done,
His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel, His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen.
14 He is the Lord our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
the word He commanded for a thousand generations,
16 (Ge 17:2; 26:3) that He made with Abraham,
even His oath to Isaac.
17 (Ge 35:11-12) He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 (Ge 13:15) saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion of your inheritance."
19 (Ge 34:30; Dt 7:7) When you were few in number,
few indeed, and strangers there,
20 when they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another,
21 (Ge 12:17; 20:3) He allowed no man to oppress them;
He rebuked kings on their account,
22 (Ge 20:7) saying, "Do not touch My anointed,
and do My prophets no harm."
23 (Ps 96:1-13) Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
24 Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all the peoples.
25 (Ps 89:7; 76:7) For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
He is to be feared above all gods.
26 (Lev 19:4; Ps 102:25) For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Honor and majesty are before Him;
strength and joy are in His place.
[16] Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto
Isaac;
[17] And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant,
[18] Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance;
[19] When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
[20] And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to
another people;
[21] He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes,
[22] Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
[23] Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his
salvation.
[24] Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all
nations.
[25] For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be
feared above all gods.
[26] For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the
heavens.
[27] Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his
place.
In a film about a vigilante crime-fighting hero, the protagonist seems to be
waging an impossible war. Not only is his city overrun with violence and
theft, but he also discovers that the police force, court system, and public
officials are corrupt. He's repeatedly tempted to give up on the city and
leave. But our hero realises that what people need is hope.
He chooses to stay.
That fictional world isn't too different from our world. Evil is present.
Those in power will disappoint us. But thankfully God never abandons His
people, no matter how dark things appear. We see evidence of this in King
David's song of praise after the ark of the covenant was moved to Jerusalem.
David exhorted his people to praise God, who "remembers His covenant
forever" (1 Chronicles 16:15) and faithfully led them
to the promised land (v. 18).
Despite threats from powerful enemy nations around Israel and grumbling and
idolatry among its people, God "allowed no one to oppress them" (v. 21). He
guided the Israelites through the desert, displaying strength (v. 11), wonders
and miracles (v. 12), and righteous judgments (v. 14). Because of God's great
love (v. 34), His people had hope for the future. The same is true today. We
can trust that God won't abandon us; He's stronger than any evil we face.

Reflect & Pray
What situation in our world seems hopeless?
How do you see that God is still working?
Heavenly Father, I've heard of Your great faithfulness
to keep Your promises through many generations. I trust You to do it again.

Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools
Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 5 - God Loved, So He Gave
John 3:16-17
16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1:18) "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 (1Jn 4:14; Lk 19:10) For God did not send His Son into
the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved."
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
Often called "the gospel in a nutshell", John 3:16 is so familiar,
even the unchurched, that it has all but lost its impact for us.
WE cite it by rote, as if it had no more meaning than a SSN (SIN),
and think that we understand the truth because we know the words.
Why did God send Jesus, his only Son, into the world to die?
Because he loved the people he created. God had no reason,
humanly speaking, to love mankind. Throughout history, from
the Garden of Eden forward, people had deliberately turned
against God and tried his patience. Even the nation God chose
for himself, Israel rebelled against the Lord and turned to other gods.
And we, as individuals, have rebelled against him too. WE have tried
to control our own lives; we have denied his reality; or
acknowledged his existence and then systematically ignored him.
We have become our own gods.
Yet Christ, in love, took upon himself the rejection, the humiliation,
the pain we were responsible for. We deserved to be condemned to die,
but he died for us instead. "God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world," John 3:17 says, "but that the world
through Him might be saved."
Often, even after we have committed our lives to Christ, we mistakenly
suppose that God's primary purpose is to condemn us - to catch us in sin
and punish us. But God says that his purpose is to love us and to save us
from sin and ourselves. He loved, and so he gave; he still loves us,
and he still continues to give.
Application
a) What sin in my life put Jesus on the cross?
b) How do I know that my sins has been forgiven?
c) How can these verses help me when I face condemnation and guilt?

2 Chr 31:21
21 And in every deed that he undertook in the service of the house
of God and with the law and commandment to seek out his God,
he did this with all his heart, and he found success.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Protection in Times of Trouble
Ps 27:1-6
PSALMS 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom will I be afraid?
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me
to eat my flesh -
my enemies and my foes -
they stumbled and fell.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,
that will I seek after -
for me to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to see the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble
He will hide me in His pavilion;
in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;
He will set me up on a rock.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8 - 9) Now my head will be lifted up
above my enemies encircling me;
therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,
came upon me to eat up my flesh,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,
Above mine enemies round about me:
Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Prince Edward Island
Total population 146300
Muslim population (est.) 1127
Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network.
Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims
cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.
More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic
month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at
the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established
in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI.
As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown.
The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important
for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were
established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to
monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as
shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
Let us intercede together for:
- the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading
outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.
- believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community
in contextual ways to share the Gospel
- churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding,
giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching
out to Muslims locally.
- a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's
Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness
and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father
through the Son.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)

You wove me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;
marvelous are Your works,
and You know me completely.
15 My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in secret,
and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me unformed,
yet in Your book
all my days were written,
before any of them came into being.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee,
When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought
in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
And in thy book all my members were written,
Which in continuance were fashioned,
When as yet there was none of them.
)
b) Pray that the Church in Canada will remember the poor

The Destruction of the Temple Foretold
Mt 24:1-2; Lk 21:5-6
1 As He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him,
"Teacher, see what great stones and what great buildings are here."
2 Jesus answered him, "Do you see these great buildings?
Not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down."
[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!
[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.
Troubles and Persecutions
Mt 24:3-14; Lk 21:7-19
3 (Mt 21:1; Mk 4:34) As He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple,
Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,
4 (Ac 1:6-7) "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be
the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?"
5 (Jer 29:8; Eph 5:6) Jesus answered them,
"Take heed lest anyone deceive you.
6 (Mk 13:22; Jer 14:14) Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,'
and will deceive many.
7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled.
For such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
8 (2Ch 15:6; Isa 19:2) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there
will be famines and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows.
9 (Mt 10:17-18; Mk 13:5) "But take heed. For they will hand you over to
councils, and in the synagogues you will be beaten. You will be brought
before rulers and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.
10 (Mt 24:14; Ro 10:18) And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.
11 (Mt 10:19-21; Lk 12:11-12) But when they arrest you and hand you over,
take no thought beforehand, or premeditate what you should speak.
But speak whatever is given you in that time, for it is not you who speaks,
but the Holy Spirit.
12 (Mt 10:21; Lk 12:52-53) "Now a brother will betray his brother to death,
and the father the son; children will rise up against their parents,
and will cause them to be put to death.
13 (Mt 10:22; Da 12:12) You will be hated by all men for My name's sake.
But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
[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?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
The Great Tribulation
Mt 24:15-28; Lk 21:20-24
14 (Da 9:27; 12:11; 11:31) "When you see the 'abomination of desolation'
(Da 9:27; 11:31.) spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it should
not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee
to the mountains.
15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down
or enter the house to take anything out of his house.
16 Let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.
17 (Lk 23:29) But woe to women who are pregnant
and to those who nurse in those days!
18 Pray that your escape may not be in winter.
19 (Da 12:1; Dt 4:32) For in those days there will be distress
as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God
created to this time, nor ever shall be.
20 (Isa 65:8-9) "Except the Lord shortened the days, no flesh
would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He chose,
He shortened the days.
21 (Lk 21:8) Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!'
or 'Look, there He is!' do not believe it.
22 (Mt 24:24; Mk 13:6) For false christs and false prophets will rise
and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 (2Pe 3:17; Mk 13:5) But take heed. I have told you all things beforehand.
[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:
[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.
[17] But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
[18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
[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.
[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.
Matthew 24:1-25
1 Jesus departed from the temple and was leaving
when His disciples came to show Him the temple buildings.
2 (Lk 19:44) Jesus answered them, "Do you not see all these things?
Truly I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another
that shall not be thrown down."
[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came
to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
[2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
Troubles and Persecutions
Mk 13:3-13; Lk 21:7-19
3 (Mt 21:1; Ac 1:7) As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples
came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be,
and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?"
4 (Jer 29:8; Eph 5:6)Jesus answered them,
"Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 (Mt 24:11; 24:24) For many will come in My name, saying,
'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
6 (2Th 2:2) You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are
not troubled. For all these things must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 (Isa 19:2; Ac 11:28) For nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, epidemics,
and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 (Jn 16:2; Mt 23:34) "Then they will hand you over to be persecuted
and will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10 (Mt 10:21; 11:6) Then many will fall away, and betray one another,
and hate one another.
11 (Mt 7:15; 24:24) And many false prophets will rise and will deceive many.
12 Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 (Mt 10:22; Ro 2:7) But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 (Ro 10:18; Col 1:6; 1:23) And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations,
and then the end will come.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
[4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive
you.
[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and
shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The Great Tribulation

15 (Da 9:27; 12:11; Mk 13:14) "So when you see the
'abomination of desolation,' (Da 9:27.) spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 (Mt 10:27) Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything
out of his house.
18 Let him who is in the field not return to take his clothes.
19 Woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse in those days!
20 Pray that your escape will not be in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21 (Da 12:1; Joel 2:2) For then will be great tribulation, such as has
not happened since the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever
shall be.
22 (Isa 65:8-9; Mt 24:24) "Unless those days were shortened, no one would
be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
23 (Lk 21:8) Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ,'
or 'There He is,' do not believe it.
24 (Mt 24:11; 2Th 2:9-11) For false christs and false prophets will
arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible,
even the elect.
25 Listen, I have told you beforehand.
[15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of
his house:
[18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have told you before.
Luke 21:5-24
The Destruction of the Temple Foretold
Mt 24:1-2; Mk 13:1-2
5 As some spoke of how the temple was adorned
with beautiful stones and gifts, He said,
6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come when
not one stone shall be left on another that will not be thrown down."
[5] And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones
and gifts, he said,
[6] As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which
there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down.
Signs and Persecutions
Mt 24:3-14; Mk 13:3-13
7 (Ac 1:6-7) They asked Him, "Teacher, when will these things be,
and what will be the sign when this is about to happen?"
8 (Jer 29:8; Mt 3:2) He said, "Beware lest you be deceived.
For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,'
and 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them.
9 When you hear of wars and commotions, do not be afraid.
For these things must first take place, but the end will not be at hand."
10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Great earthquakes will occur in various places, and there will be
famines and pestilence. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 (Ac 8:3) "But before all these things, they will seize you
and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons,
and you will be brought before kings and governors for My name's sake.
13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Therefore resolve in your hearts beforehand not to practice your defense.
15 (Jer 1:9; Ac 6:10) For I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your opponents will be able to neither refute nor resist.
16 You will be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends.
And they will put some of you to death.
17 (Jn 15:21; Lk 6:22) You will be hated by all men for My name's sake,
18 (Mt 10:30; 1Sa 14:45) but not a hair of your head shall perish.
19 (Ro 5:3; Heb 10:36) In your endurance you will gain your souls.
[7] And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and
what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
[8] And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore
after them.
[9] But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for
these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
[10] Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom:
[11] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
[12] But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute
you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought
before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
[13] And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
[14] Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye
shall answer:
[15] For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
[16] And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
[17] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
[18] But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
[19] In your patience possess ye your souls.
The Destruction of Jerusalem Foretold
Mt 24:15-21; Mk 13:14-19
20 (Lk 19:43; Da 9:27) "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
then you know that its desolation has drawn near.
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
and let those who are in the city depart, and let not those who are
in the country enter it.
22 (Isa 34:8; 63:4) For these are the days of vengeance,
that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 (Lk 23:29; 1Th 2:16) But woe to those who are pregnant and to those
who nurse in those days! For there will be great distress in the land
and wrath upon this people.
24 (Rev 11:2; Isa 63:18; Ro 11:25) They will fall by the edge of the sword
and will be led away captive to all nations. And Jerusalem will
be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
[20] And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that
the desolation thereof is nigh.
[21] Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them
which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the
countries enter thereinto.
[22] For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written
may be fulfilled.
[23] But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in
those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon
this people.
[24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Mark 13:24-31
The Coming of the Son of Man

24 (Isa 13:10; Eze 32:7) "But in those days, after that distress,
'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give her light;
25 (Isa 34:4) the stars of heaven will fall,
and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken.'
26 (Mt 16:27; Rev 1:7) "Then they will see the Son of Man coming
in clouds with great power and glory.
27 (Dt 30:4; Mt 24:31) Then He will send His angels and gather His elect
from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest
part of heaven.
[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.

from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost
part of heaven.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Mt 24:32-35; Lk 21:29-33
28 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When her branch is yet tender
and puts outs leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 (Jas 5:9) So also, when you see these things come to pass,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
30 (Mt 24:34; Lk 21:32) Truly I say to you, this generation will not
pass away until all these things happen.
31 (Mt 5:18; Isa 40:8) Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will not pass away.
[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:
[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.
[31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:26-35
26 (Ac 21:38) "So, if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert,'
do not go there; or, 'Look, He is in the private chambers,'
do not believe it.
27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west,
so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 (Lk 17:37) Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be
gathered together.
[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
[27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the
west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered
together.
The Coming of the Son of Man

the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.' (Joel 2:10.)
30 (Rev 1:7; Da 7:13; Mt 24:3) "Then the sign of the Son of Man will
appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,
and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
31 (Mt 13:41; 1Co 15:52; 1Th 4:16) And He will send His angels with
a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather His elect from
the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven
to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Mk 13:28-31; Lk 21:29-33
32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: When its branch
becomes tender and grows leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 (Jas 5:9) So also, when you shall see all these things,
you know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 (Mt 16:28; 23:36) Truly I say to you, this generation
will not pass away until all these things take place.

The Coming of the Son of Man
Mt 24:29-31; Mk 13:24-27
25 (Isa 13:10; 24:23) "There will be signs in the sun and the moon
and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity,
the sea and the waves roaring;
26 (Mt 24:29) men fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming
on the inhabited earth. For the powers of heaven will be shaken.
27 (Da 7:13; Mt 26:64) Then they will see the Son of Man coming in
a cloud with power and great glory.
28 (Ro 8:23; Eph 4:30) When these things begin to happen,
look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near."
[25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the
waves roaring;
[26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory.
[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
Mt 24:32-35; Mk 13:28-31
29 He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 When they are sprouting leaves already,
you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 So in like manner, when you see these things happening,
you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 (Mt 24:34; Mk 13:30) "Truly, I tell you, this generation will not pass
away until all these things are fulfilled.
33 (Mt 5:18; Ps 102:26) Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will not pass away.
[29] And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
[30] When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that
summer is now nigh at hand.
[31] So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the
kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
[32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be
fulfilled.
[33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
2) Our Daily Bread for 29 October 2026 titled
Hope in a Hero
1 Chronicles 16:12-27
12 (Ps 78:43; 103:2) Remember His wonders which He has done,
His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel, His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen.
14 He is the Lord our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
the word He commanded for a thousand generations,
16 (Ge 17:2; 26:3) that He made with Abraham,
even His oath to Isaac.
17 (Ge 35:11-12) He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 (Ge 13:15) saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion of your inheritance."
19 (Ge 34:30; Dt 7:7) When you were few in number,
few indeed, and strangers there,
20 when they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another,
21 (Ge 12:17; 20:3) He allowed no man to oppress them;
He rebuked kings on their account,
22 (Ge 20:7) saying, "Do not touch My anointed,
and do My prophets no harm."
23 (Ps 96:1-13) Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
24 Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all the peoples.
25 (Ps 89:7; 76:7) For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.
He is to be feared above all gods.
26 (Lev 19:4; Ps 102:25) For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Honor and majesty are before Him;
strength and joy are in His place.
[16] Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto
Isaac;
[17] And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant,
[18] Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance;
[19] When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
[20] And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to
another people;
[21] He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes,
[22] Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
[23] Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his
salvation.
[24] Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all
nations.
[25] For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be
feared above all gods.
[26] For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the
heavens.
[27] Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his
place.
In a film about a vigilante crime-fighting hero, the protagonist seems to be
waging an impossible war. Not only is his city overrun with violence and
theft, but he also discovers that the police force, court system, and public
officials are corrupt. He's repeatedly tempted to give up on the city and
leave. But our hero realises that what people need is hope.
He chooses to stay.
That fictional world isn't too different from our world. Evil is present.
Those in power will disappoint us. But thankfully God never abandons His
people, no matter how dark things appear. We see evidence of this in King
David's song of praise after the ark of the covenant was moved to Jerusalem.
David exhorted his people to praise God, who "remembers His covenant
forever" (1 Chronicles 16:15) and faithfully led them
to the promised land (v. 18).
Despite threats from powerful enemy nations around Israel and grumbling and
idolatry among its people, God "allowed no one to oppress them" (v. 21). He
guided the Israelites through the desert, displaying strength (v. 11), wonders
and miracles (v. 12), and righteous judgments (v. 14). Because of God's great
love (v. 34), His people had hope for the future. The same is true today. We
can trust that God won't abandon us; He's stronger than any evil we face.

What situation in our world seems hopeless?
How do you see that God is still working?
Heavenly Father, I've heard of Your great faithfulness
to keep Your promises through many generations. I trust You to do it again.
3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association
Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools
Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 5 - God Loved, So He Gave
John 3:16-17
16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1:18) "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 (1Jn 4:14; Lk 19:10) For God did not send His Son into
the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved."
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
Often called "the gospel in a nutshell", John 3:16 is so familiar,
even the unchurched, that it has all but lost its impact for us.
WE cite it by rote, as if it had no more meaning than a SSN (SIN),
and think that we understand the truth because we know the words.
Why did God send Jesus, his only Son, into the world to die?
Because he loved the people he created. God had no reason,
humanly speaking, to love mankind. Throughout history, from
the Garden of Eden forward, people had deliberately turned
against God and tried his patience. Even the nation God chose
for himself, Israel rebelled against the Lord and turned to other gods.
And we, as individuals, have rebelled against him too. WE have tried
to control our own lives; we have denied his reality; or
acknowledged his existence and then systematically ignored him.
We have become our own gods.
Yet Christ, in love, took upon himself the rejection, the humiliation,
the pain we were responsible for. We deserved to be condemned to die,
but he died for us instead. "God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world," John 3:17 says, "but that the world
through Him might be saved."
Often, even after we have committed our lives to Christ, we mistakenly
suppose that God's primary purpose is to condemn us - to catch us in sin
and punish us. But God says that his purpose is to love us and to save us
from sin and ourselves. He loved, and so he gave; he still loves us,
and he still continues to give.
Application
a) What sin in my life put Jesus on the cross?
b) How do I know that my sins has been forgiven?
c) How can these verses help me when I face condemnation and guilt?

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Protection in Times of Trouble
Ps 27:1-6
PSALMS 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom will I be afraid?
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me
to eat my flesh -
my enemies and my foes -
they stumbled and fell.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,
that will I seek after -
for me to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to see the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble
He will hide me in His pavilion;
in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;
He will set me up on a rock.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8 - 9) Now my head will be lifted up
above my enemies encircling me;
therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,
came upon me to eat up my flesh,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,
Above mine enemies round about me:
Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Prince Edward Island
Total population 146300
Muslim population (est.) 1127
Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network.
Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims
cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.
More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic
month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at
the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established
in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI.
As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown.
The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important
for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were
established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to
monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as
shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
Let us intercede together for:
- the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading
outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.
- believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community
in contextual ways to share the Gospel
- churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding,
giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching
out to Muslims locally.
- a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's
Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness
and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father
through the Son.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

a) Pray that God will enlighten those in medicine and health care
to acknowledge the sanctity of life and server with true
integrity and compassion (
Ps 139:13-16
13 You brought my inner parts into being;
You wove me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;
marvelous are Your works,
and You know me completely.
15 My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in secret,
and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me unformed,
yet in Your book
all my days were written,
before any of them came into being.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee,
When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought
in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
And in thy book all my members were written,
Which in continuance were fashioned,
When as yet there was none of them.
)
b) Pray that the Church in Canada will remember the poor

the same which I also was forward to do.
