Mark's Account Of Jesus Christ - Volume 2

We have trouble remembering what we had for breakfast most days. But Jesus knows the future better than we can remember the past. After all, He's already there. Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the temple prompted the disciples to ask about the rest of the future. They understood that the prediction about the temple also included the nation if Israel and that concerned them greatly. And Jesus was the one to ask, because He's the creator, outside of time.

In the life that Christ led, He did not react to the things happening to Him on the spur of the moment. Jesus knew what was happening and He reacted in a deliberate planned way. Make no mistake. What happened to Jesus in the final week, in that final night was not His victimization. Jesus remained the one in control throughout that whole ugly time. The authorities thought they were in control, but Jesus was actually making things happen in accordance with biblical prophecy.

The apostle John was given a penetrating look at the future of this earth. John saw Jesus as He really was and is.

Even in our day we've had a lot of conjecture about when Jesus would return to earth. The disciples of Christ were no different. They wanted to know what the future held for them. While humanists try to tell us that the world will get better and better, the evidence says otherwise. Before Jesus returns this world will get so bad, and become so violent ,that God will have to intervene so that anyone can survive.
