Bible Study: "Sheep, Wolves, & Serpents" Mark 13:13

(oops: Last 3-5 minutes, broadcast interrupted by thunder storm). This Bible study will continue with Mark 13:13- Jesus tells his disciples that they will be hated by all men. I will use this verse and Matt 10:16, to explain the three time periods of hatred, past, present, and future, and why God's elect will be hated. Keep in mind the original question asked by the disciples and keep the context of the answer throughout this study. When is the end of this age? When will Jesus return? What are the signs of his coming? God's elect must not only wait on his second coming, but must also watch and stand against the enemy's approach. It's not a suggestion. God's elect, during the end days will not have free will. They will be betrayed, captured, and delivered for Christ's sake. They are predestined to make a stand against Satan.
