Jesus Explains The End of the World

Before we looked at the end of THE world--Earth in Luke 21, think for a moment about the end of YOUR world—you.

What usually kills people? Have you thought about that? What are your probabilities of dying of a quake?
Globally, violence is a leading killer. It accounts for 14 percent of all deaths among males and 7 percent among females, according to a 2003 analysis by the World Heath Organization. On an average day, 1,424 people are murdered. Somebody commits suicide every 40 seconds. But for us who are U.S. residents, this morning it is probably heart disease that will end your world. According to all the government agencies that tabulate death and diseases, this is our most likely cause of physical death of according the averages of the American population.

We can learn from Christ's description of the Age?
(Luke 21:8–19)

The dangers Jesus warned of are what His church has faced from the beginning. There have always been deceiving teachers, persecution, and disasters. But what He says is that each of these areas will increase and intensify as Christ's Coming draws near.
