The Second Coming

Choice 2: Mark 13; Luke 21:5-38; Joseph Smith – Matthew. Preparing for the Savior’s Second Coming.

1.      

Review Mark 13:5, 9, 23, 33, 35, 37 and identify the words take heed and watch in each verse. List at least three things from this chapter that believers could watch for in order to be prepared to meet the Lord.

One thing is that people need to watch for deceivers. There are people out there that will say that they are the true church or that they are Christ, when they really are not.

Another thing to watch for is to watch for the signals because no one knows when the second coming will be.

People should watch for the word of the Lord. When he says something, whether by his prophets or by the Spirit whispering to us, we need to listen.
