World Signs
In Chapter 13, St. Mark tells about the signs that Jesus tells us on the end of planet earth. This end was also discussed by Chapter 24 of St. Matthew, In verse 8, Jesus talks about the signs of (1) earthquakes, (2) the rise of wars between different nations, and (3) the sorrows of the people. In verse 6, Jesus says that his name will be used to deceive these sorrowing people.
In verse 29, Jesus says that the days will be shortened and that no flesh will be saved. However, we know today that all indivisible souls, which are not flesh, will be saved. In verses 24 and 25, Jesus says that the sun and moon will darken and the stars will be shaken and will fall. However, the stars will not really shake or fall. Such movements of the stars are only appearances because the planet earth motions will change on its path to fall into the sun as nuclear fuel. In verses 26 -28, Jesus says that Son of man will come to save the people when all fig trees leaves have no more summers. In verse 31, Jesus says that the heaven and earth pass away, but that his words will not pass away. In verses 32 and 33, Jesus says that only God knows when this event will occur.
Chapter 13 tells us that the cosmological thoughts of Jesus Chris were very advanced compared to our modern thinkers. With toady's earthquakes, religious and military wars, depressions, and drug use, one wonders whether our world leaders are not sensitive to the cosmological signs.
