The Great Tribulation!

For Saturday, August 9, 2025:

Mark 13:14 NKJV, Jesus warning about the Great Tribulation: “When you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”

Insatiable curiosity may be the death of me! When the storm sirens sound, I want to go outside and see what the weather’s really like. If there’s a tornado, I want to witness it up close! Instead of going to the basement (which we’re supposed to do,) you’ll more likely find me on the front porch checking things out!

But in the Great Tribulation during the End Times, Jesus says to run for the hills! Get out of town! Something terribly evil will occupy a Holy place, and that is our sign. Like the straw that broke the camel’s back, God will have reached his breaking point, and that will be the beginning of the end. Destruction like we have never seen will fall upon the deceiver. You don’t want to be around when God lets loose. God will win.

For the sake of believers, God shortened those days of Tribulation on his agenda. So once again, God is caring for the loyal. His flock receives the advantage during the Great Tribulation. At that time, Jesus will be returning to escort us into the hereafter.

God has it all planned out, and believers are included!
