The Second Coming Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: The Second Coming Keywords: "end times” “second coming" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Mark 13:24-27* 24. "But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, 25. AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. 26. "And then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory. 27. "And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth, to the farthest end of heaven. Questions 1. When it comes to end time events, are you worried or secure?   2. Pontificate please on the phrase: “Porn posses a predictable problem for people who profess to prefer paradise to passing pleasure.”   Practical help As we have said in numerous studies to this point, one of the problems with pornography is that it distracts the individual from the Big Picture. On the one hand, it is probably an easy rationalization to indulge in porn instead of looking at life as it really is. But on the other hand we are always better off knowing the truth early enough to respond appropriately. Have the prophesies above been fulfilled? In a sense they are fulfilled all the time. For every life that ends (which to my knowledge occurs 100 percent of the time), the Son of Man, Jesus, will come. In the end for every life, the sun will darken and the moon will not be seen reflecting light in the sky. In the end for every life, the stars that seem so permanent will fall and life after death will be different than it is today. How it all happens is infinitely less important than the fact that it will. And I for one don’t plan to be perusing porn when one of those angel’s mentioned in verse 27 comes collecting the saints. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2003 by eXXit *Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
