Daily Lesson for December 14, 2015
Today's Daily lesson comes from Matthew chapter 24 verses:
15 "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak . . . 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it . . . 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather."
Here's a word to the wise: when things are going south, and you can see the legions marching in, don't wait for the siege and the calamity to make your decision. Don't be foolish and don't trust in deliverance from on high. You have Jesus' permission -- no, even more you have his advice: flee now while you still can. Otherwise, you may not survive; and even if you do you'll be a slave.15 "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak . . . 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it . . . 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather."

Wow! What powerful words that say nothing about surrender and turning the other cheek. Sometimes, it appears, we are encouraged to "Get the hell outta Dodge!"
