A Ton Of Guesses

And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.  Matthew 24:4

The end times are endlessly fascinating to many of us, and we tend to take a ton of guesses over the when's and what's of the thing. The disciples were curious too, and they had the opportunity to ask Jesus those very questions. Every time I come to the revelation Jesus gives on the Mount of Olives, I am struck by His first answer, the one we read in our verse for today. Jesus tells His disciples and us that we are to take heed, that is to be cautious, watchful, and wary, because deceit will likely be the first thing we see. We know there is deception by the wild variety of guesses seen since Jesus gave His message so long ago. Some appear close to scripture and others are umm, wildly interesting. What do we know for sure? That we are waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus the same as a great multitude of our brothers and sisters in Christ were before us. 

Wait patiently a little longer, and take heed!
