449th Post Jesus Predictions Con't. - Predictions on End Times Con't. Matthew 24: 2 - 14 Con't.

Matthew 24: 2 - 14; Mark 13: 2 - 13; Luke 21: 6 - 19;  Continued.
Many false prophets will rise and  deceive many.  Lawlessness will abound , the love of many will grow cold.  But he who endures to the end shall be saved.  Jesus told the people many times that the days will be like the days of Noah, before Jesus will return again.  What did Jesus mean by likening His return to the time of Noah?  To better understand this part of the passage you must look again at Genesis chapter 6.  Before the flood you had the line of Cain still alive and in the world.  The Flood killed off the whole line of Cain, and most of Seth, except for 8 people.  When we are reading the New Testament, sometimes we don't remember to refer back to the Old Testament.  It would make sense that lawlessness would abound during this time, because that was the condition of the world then.  The phrase "But he who endures to the end shall be saved."  This gets lost in the rest of this passage, but it is just as important as the rest of this passage.  This message was repeated 7 times in Revelation to each of the 7 Churches located in modern day Turkey.  Apostasy will be very prevalant during this time.  Once you come to know Jesus, you can not turn your back on him.  If you do you will not be saved!
Where are you in your walk??  Only you and God know!
