Jesus and the Future

Mark 13:4-8

"Take heed that no one leads you astray,
So listen close to the words I have to say;
Many will come in my name and will tell,
But, it won't be Heaven where they dwell;
''I am he'', and acting as being so sincere,
Yet when discovered, they will disappear;
In hearing about wars and rumors thereof,
Think of your Heavenly Father up above;
Do not be alarmed for it must take place,
It is all as being apart of the human race;
But the end is not yet to be as you'll see,
Not everything ahead will be too peachy;
For nations will rise up against nations,
Kingdom against kingdom across oceans;
There'll be earthquakes in various places,
Fear and horror strikes the victims' faces;
There will also be famines as well as flood,
And also see the spilling of innocent blood;
This is merely a beginning of birth pains,
Suffering even more," as Jesus explains.
