Lesson 9 - Choice #2: Preparing for the Savior's Second Coming

Choice #2: Preparing for the Savior's Second Coming

1. Mark 13

Throughout this Chapter Christ cautions the people, telling them to "take heed" and to "watch" for the signs leading up to the second coming. Jesus tells the people to, "watch and pray: for ye know not when the time it." (vs. 33). But, he does give them signs to look for. In verse six he says to watch for false Christs, wars and rumors of wars in verse 7, and for the gospel to have been delivered to all nations.
