The passage before us is exploding with images to help us understand what it is going to be like prior to the Second Coming of Christ. It is hard for words alone to capture the judgment of God on the world due to sin. Pride and rebellion will be brought down with severity, and the entire universe will be subject to a shakedown. This is not a day to look forward to if you are lost and separated from God. I am telling you right now—Run for your life. I am not saying to run to false refuges that the world tries to provide—the security of money, the security of religious activity or affiliation, the security of physical health or strength. None of these things will provide any security in those days when heaven and earth as shaken before the Majesty of God who sits upon the throne. This will be a time as this passage states that will be unequalled in the severity of God’s judgement. We can read the example of what happened to Egypt when Pharoah refused to let God’s people go, but those plagues pale in comparison to what will happen to the entire world. In Egypt, God sent 10 plagues throughout Egypt. These judgments of God had devastating effects on the nation and were a sober reminder of God’s wrath or righteousness indignation toward sin. The title this morning will be “Judgment is Coming.” We will discuss 1) Jesus Warns of the Abomination of Desolation 2) Jesus Tells them to Run for Safety 3) Jesus Explains the Great Tribulation 4) Jesus Reveals the Universal Shakedown and Second Coming
