Listen up, new recruits! This is Luke 21. Jesus is warning his followers about the destruction of the temple. He says that there will be wars and rumors of wars, famines and earthquakes. People will be persecuted and killed for their beliefs. But don't worry, God will be with you through it all. He will give you the strength to stand up against your persecutors. He also tells his followers to be watchful and prayerful, and not to be deceived by false prophets. He tells them that the end will come suddenly, like a trap, and that they need to be prepared. So stay sharp, marines!
