Our paragraph topic is: (The destruction of Jerusalem) Part 9.
Who do you believe? What do you believe? Would you become fearful of the prediction of destruction that you were hearing from this prophet? Would you not know what to do, where to go, who to trust, who to seek for answers? Christ was foretelling the destructing of Jerusalem with such horrific detail that anyone would be fearful. Was this a trick or was this real? His words had been real before, why not now. What were they to do with this dire prediction?
Pray, he told them. Pray that this destruction does not take place in winter. Pray, that this devastation does not take place on the Sabbath. For if that will be the case then, he says great tribulation: "Such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor will be."
Such were the spoken words of Jesus Christ. Destruction like that which has never been seen or heard of before since the beginning of time will take place if this takes place on the sabbath or in the winter. God made it rain for forty days and forty nights and destroyed all mankind except Noah and his family. Christ says that that destruction is nothing compared to what will take place when Jerusalem is destroyed. Pray, he tells them, pray, that this does not take place. Pray, that you are spared this devastation, this destruction.
