DAY 21 OF 81

GENESIS 36:
In yesterday’s reading in Genesis, Jacob's daughter Dinah was raped, and the perpetrator Shechem was killed together with all the males in his town. God then told Jacob to return to Bethel. At the end of yesterday’s reading, Rachel and Grampa Isaak died.

JOB 21:
In Zophar's angry speech yesterday in Job chapter 20, he did not directly say that Job was wicked, but he clearly implied it.

MARK 13:
Mark chapter 12— which gives an overview of the interactions with the enemies and critics of Jesus, marks the end of Jesus' public ministry as related by Mark.

Today’s chapter represents the center of Jesus’ prophetic teaching. It includes the difficult part about ‘the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be’ (in other words, in God’s temple). This is a reference to verses found in Daniel. This is a prime example of a prophecy that is fulfilled multiple times. The first fulfillment happened some 167 years before Jesus was born, in the time of Antiochus IV. However in this chapter Jesus seems to be pointing to what happened in 70 AD when Rome desecrated the temple. But later this year we will see that this prophecy will be fulfilled again in the end times. God shows us repeated pictures of things that are important. And the important point of the whole chapter is ‘Be ready’!

Let’s pray.
Our dear Lord Jesus— who gave such amazing teachings to your disciples: You are our Messiah. You are the coming King who is the King over all kings. It seems clear that You wanted all your disciples of every age to watch for your coming. You didn’t want any of them to think that You could not come during their lifetime. And so we too, Lord, will watch for You. All the signs You have given us have happened, and they are still happening. So Lord, we pray that we will not be taken in by the trickery of this world, by the trickery of false teaching, by those who claim to be prophets, or even those who claim to be the Messiah. Lord, when we are called to account in this troubled world, if we are arrested or persecuted, when we stand to defend ourselves, I pray that we would not be anxious about what we should say. May we remember your promise that the Holy Spirit Himself will speak through us. May we be among those servants that You find still standing firm and faithful when You come.
