Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

November 7


Mark 13
This is the passage many people use to support the doctrine of the rapture.  Unfortunately, they miss the verse where Jesus tells them that these things will happen before that generation passes away.  Unless we have 2,000-year-old people running around, the “rapture” has already taken place.  Otherwise, we might be able to see the fulfillment in the first chapters of Acts, or in the spiritual realms which all Christians reside.  I don’t think this is really important, as it doesn’t effect our salvation.  However, it does speak to where our faith is directed.  Is it on things we can see with our eyes, or on those things that are unseen?
