Sunday, Nov. 19th is the 24th Sunday after Pentecost. The scripture is as follow: Daniel 12:1-4a, Hewbrews 10:31-39 and Mark 13:14-23. Here is the Gospel text.
14“But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 15the one on the housetop must not go down or enter the house to take anything away; 16the one in the field must not turn back to get a coat. 17Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! 18Pray that it may not be in winter. 19For in those days there will be suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, no, and never will be. 20And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut short those days. 21And if anyone says to you at that time, ‘Look! Here is the Messiah!’ or ‘Look! There he is!’ —do not believe it. 22False messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23But be alert; I have already told you everything.
WOW! I could use some help with this one. I was thinking that this would be a great reason to switch from the Episcopal lectionary to the revised common lectionary. Or perhaps I could preach on Hebrews???? I have never preached on this passage before. Let's get some questions and ideas coming!

I think this is a prophesy? People today are making all sort of dire predictions about the world. Many people live in fear. How does our faith help us with this?
