When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

"Then He told them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

Maybe this part was The Reformation and The years of "Enlightenment" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. On account of My name they will deliver you to the synagogues and prisons, and they will bring you before kings and governors. This will be your opportunity to serve as witnesses. So make up your mind not to worry before and how to defend yourselves. For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict."

"You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death. And you will be hated by everyone because of My name. Yet not even a hair of your head will perish. By your patient endurance you will gain your souls...ff

"There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

Then Jesus told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Be Watchful for the Day

But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth. So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.” :pensive:


The Fig Tree, The world the branches the countries, the leaves what is happening in those individual countries. Only food for thought place here. The more nothing less.
This generation, The New Testament era.
 
So let us, The FEW, do not walk in a state of disobedience like many do. and don't be so easily drawn away. in such "temporal" things,

"Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in Glory."

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.":pensive: "TRUST"


We must keep our eyes upon The Prize.:pensive: And Hold Fast and turn not to the left of right. but hold fast. for many are after our crown.:pensive: it is, a Righteous one.

Thank you, I really needed to read that this morning, as I have had quite a battle being in the truth, and having enough faith to do so.
