JESUS SAID DON'T PANIC WHEN YOU HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

Luke 21, Some of Jesus' disciples began talking about the beautiful stonework of the Jewish Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said, “The time is coming when all these things you are admiring will be knocked down, and not one stone will be left on top of another; all will become one vast heap of rubble.” “Master!” they exclaimed. “When? And will there be any warning ahead of time?” He replied, “Don’t let anyone mislead you. For many will come announcing themselves as the Messiah, and saying, ‘The time has come.’ But don’t believe them! And when you hear of wars and insurrections beginning, don’t panic. True, wars must come, but the end won’t follow immediately for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and famines in many lands, and epidemics, and terrifying things happening in the heavens. “But before all this occurs, there will be a time of special persecution, and you will be dragged into synagogues and prisons and before kings and governors for my name’s sake. But as a result, the Messiah will be widely known and honored. Don’t be concerned about how to answer the charges against you, for I will give you the right words. Even those closest to you, your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends will betray you and have you arrested; and some of you will be killed. And everyone will hate you because you are mine and are called by my name. But not a hair of your head will perish! For if you stand firm, you will win your souls. FRIENDS, JESUS GAVE MANY PROPHECIES ABOUT THE DAYS JUST BEFORE HE WOULD RETURN. STAND FIRM AND BE FAITHFUL. John 16:33 I have told you all this so that you will have peace of heart and mind. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows; but cheer up, for I have overcome the world.”
