No fear in the Future

Lk 21:5-9 - And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” And they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”

As the signs appear for the end times, do not be terrified of them. Don’t worry about what other people worry about. Don’t be afraid of sign and destruction. Don’t go after them. These things are all part of what must take place. In short, fear me and don’t fear anything else.
