TRUTH: The end times will require us to be on guard

Be on guard because…

1. Deception is possible :: Be watchful
Mark 13:6 :: Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray.

2. Persecution is inevitable :: Be faithful
Mark 13:13 :: And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

3. Trouble is double :: Be hopeful
Mark 13:19 :: For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be.
