Escape All Stand before Son Lk 21:36 Stay in Him His Word in Us Jn 15:7-8 Untroubled by Birth Pangs Mt 24:6-8 of New Creation Rev 21:5

[Nochaeld]

“But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man,” Lk 21:36, Fruitfully Abiding in Him Jn 15:7-8, Prepared for Birth Pangs Mt 24:7-8 of New Creation Heb 12:2, See to It No One Deceives Us, Mt 24:4, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Luke 21:33. "For all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs, Mt 24:8.

Matt 24:4-14, "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. And this Gospel of The Kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the people groups, and then the end shall come," Mt 24:8-14.

Luke 21:34-36, “So be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have STRENGTH to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Father, thank You for telling us these things through Your Son before they take place, so that while they are occurring, we may be believing, John 14:29. We know that everything that can be shaken will be shaken -- heaven, earth, sea, dry land and all nations, Hag 4:6-7 -- so that the things which cannot be shaken will remain, Heb 12:27, and so that we are "Not Troubled, Alarmed or Frightened," "All These Things Must Take Place but This is Not Yet The End," Matt 24:6, but "Merely The Beginning of Birth Pangs" Matt 24:8, which INCREASE in frequency AND Severity, and are essential to the Birthing of The Restoration of All Things, Isaiah 65:17, Isa 66:22, Matt 19:28, Acts 3:20-21, 2 Peter 3:11-14, Rev 21:5, Rev 22:1-5. "Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for You are a consuming fire, Heb 12:28.

As things shift in our personal lives and on a global scale, we ask for daily bread, Matt 6:11, for connection to Jesus, John 15:1-5, that our Beloved be like a bundle of myrrh through the night who warms our hearts, Song 1:13, and for strength to ensure not only these trials with joy, Matt 5:12, James 1:2-3, but persecutions, famines, perils, wars and rumors of wars, even earthquakes in various places, storms of life and real storms on earth, knowing that no created thing can separate us from the Eternal Love of God in Christ Jesus Our Lord, Rom 8:35, for Jesus is risen and ascended and at Your Right Hand of Power, making intercession for us, Rom 8:34, praying like You did for Simon that our faith will not fail, Luke 22:32, that we stay connected to Him (and therefore to all the other branches that are connected to The Vine, John 15:1-5, John 17:1-26, and once we turn to You, not only is the veil is taken away, 2 Cor 3:16, so that with unveiled face we may be transformed from glory to glory, from the work of The Lord The Holy Spirit, 2 Cor 3:18, so that we may from that position of refreshing by abiding in Your presence, Acts 3:19, bear fruit, John 15:7-8, BUT also strengthen others, Lk 22:32, introducing them to Christ's love through the ministry of reconciliation as Ambassadors of The New Creation, 2 Cor 5:14-21, that we'd be glorified in Jesus and Jesus, 2 Thes 1:12.

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the (uncreated) love of God, which is being in Christ Jesus our Lord, Rom 8:27-29.

We ask these things in accordance Your will, Matt 12:50, which is Your Word, Luke 8:21, knowing that is what You hear, and when You hear, we have the requests we've asked, 1 Jn 5:14-15. With thanksgiving we make these requests known, Phil 4:6, thanking You in advance, Mk 11:24, with the promise that the peace of God which passes all comprehension will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:7. Thank You again in Jesus' Name, Jn 14:13-14, The Amen, The Faithful Witness and Originator of This New Creation, Rev 3:14, in whom all the promises of God are Yes and Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

 

[Articles]

We stand together in deep reverence for the truths you’ve shared from Scripture, recognizing the urgency and hope woven into Christ’s warnings and promises about the last days. The signs you’ve highlighted, wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, deception, and persecution, are not cause for fear but for vigilance, prayer, and unwavering faith in the One who holds all things together. Jesus Himself tells us, "See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many" (Matthew 24:4-5 WEB). We must be alert, rooted in His Word, and steadfast in prayer, for these are the birth pangs of a new creation, not the end of hope.

Your prayer reflects a heart that clings to Christ as the unshakable foundation, and we join you in declaring that nothing, "neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing", can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39 WEB). This is our anchor in tumultuous times. Yet we must also examine our hearts to ensure we are not weighed down by the distractions of this world, dissipation, drunkenness, or the anxieties of life (Luke 21:34 WEB). These can dull our spiritual senses and leave us unprepared for Christ’s return. Let us instead be a people who "keep on the alert at all times, praying that [we] may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36 WEB).

We pray with you now, lifting these truths before the throne of grace:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the clarity of Your Word, which prepares us for the days ahead. You have not left us in darkness but have given us the light of Christ to guide our steps. Lord, as the world grows darker, let Your light shine brighter in us. Strengthen our faith to endure trials, persecutions, and the deceptions of the enemy. Keep our hearts from growing cold and our love from fading. Help us to abide in Christ, the True Vine, so that we may bear fruit that glorifies You (John 15:4-5 WEB). Guard us from complacency and fill us with a holy urgency to share the Gospel of Your Kingdom with all nations, knowing that the end will come only after this mission is fulfilled (Matthew 24:14 WEB).

Father, we ask for daily bread, not just physical provision but spiritual nourishment from Your Word. Let us feast on Christ, the Bread of Life, so that we are not swayed by false teachings or the cares of this world. Teach us to pray without ceasing, to watch with expectancy, and to live as ambassadors of Your reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:20 WEB). May we be a people who encourage one another, strengthen the weak, and stand firm in the faith, even when hated for Your name’s sake.

We rebuke the spirit of fear that seeks to paralyze Your people. You have not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Let us not be troubled by the birth pangs of this age but rejoice that they signal the coming of Your Kingdom. Fill us with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let it guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB).

Lord, we confess that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5 WEB). But in You, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37 WEB). May we live each day in the reality of Your presence, abiding in You so that Your words abide in us, and we may ask whatever we wish, and it will be done for us (John 15:7 WEB). Let us be found faithful when Christ returns, standing blameless before the Son of Man.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the One who is and who was and who is to come (Revelation 1:8 WEB). It is only through His name that we have access to You, Father, and it is only by His blood that we are redeemed. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may we be counted worthy to escape the things that are coming and to stand before Your Son. Amen.

Thank you for sharing this prayer and the scriptures that are clearly nourishing your heart. It’s a gift to be reminded that Jesus told us these things ahead of time precisely so that we would not be thrown off balance, His words are steady ground when the world feels shaky. We’re grateful to stand with you in that alert, expectant hope, fixing our eyes not on the shaking but on the unshakable kingdom we’re already receiving.

That kind of daily alertness can be hard to sustain in isolation. We’ve found it helps to anchor these truths in ordinary rhythms: a few minutes in the morning to hand the day’s news and worries back to the Lord, or sharing one of these passages with a trusted friend who also longs to abide in Christ and not be deceived. When we gather even as two or three around His promises, our faith feels more rooted and the birth pangs lose their power to alarm us. If there’s someone in your life who would pray through Luke 21 or Matthew 24 with you, that could be a concrete way to strengthen each other and bear fruit together.

Jesus, thank You that Your words will never pass away. Keep us deeply connected to You, the true Vine, so that we are not weighed down or frightened by all that must take place. Give us the steady strength to escape every snare and to stand before You unashamed. Fill us with Your peace, and use us to encourage others who need the same hope. In Your name we pray, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You have laid hold of the very marrow of the matter, that to stand before the Son of Man in that day, you must first stand in Him now. All these things of which our Lord spoke, the wars, the shaking, the birth pangs of a new creation, are not given to breed a spirit of fear in the beloved, but to drive us into a deeper, simpler trust. Faith is the substance of it, a faith that deposits the soul entirely into the hands of Christ, as a man leaves his money at the bank, and then walks away at peace. If your treasure is secure there, why do you tremble? That same banker cares for what you have committed to Him against that day.

I see in your prayer a soul eager to escape not only the tribulation, but the deadness that lawlessness brings, the love growing cold. This is well. But let me press upon you that the escape is not by some secret flight from the world, but by a present, hourly coming to Christ. He says, “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” Under no supposable circumstance will He do it. Not when your heart seems weighted down, not when the noises of the age drown out the still small voice, not when you feel the chill of a love grown faint. Come as you are, troubled, weak, clinging to the hem of His garment, and He will receive you. The very strength to endure to the end is not stored up within you like a reserve of courage, but is found by the moment in the Vine. The branch does not fortify itself, but simply abides, and the sap flows.

Do you ask how to strengthen others, as Peter’s faith was prayed for? Begin by your own tenacious grip upon the promises. The best way to prove the Bible true is not to answer every skeptic’s argument, but to handle it for yourself, to taste the butter and honey that nourished the Christ-child, the sweetness of His Word in your affliction. When you have fed upon Him, you will find your lips opened wide in prayer, not cramped and narrow, for you are going to a Father who delights to give. There is nothing greater to ask for than Christ Himself, and He is freely given to all who believe.

As for the birth pangs, remember that the woman in travail is not bewildered by her pain, for she knows it heralds new life. So it is with these tremors in heaven and earth. They are but the knocking down of the old, unstable scaffolding to reveal the unshakable kingdom. Therefore, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Christ is the cure for troubled hearts, not by removing every external storm, but by anchoring the soul to Himself within the storm. When you cannot trace His hand, trust His heart. He was bound for your liberty; He was troubled that you might have peace. Now, risen and ascended, He intercedes, and His prayer for you, like that for Simon, is that your faith fail not. On that you may rest.

[usha rani]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Do you see how you have prayed for strength to escape, and rightly so? But let us not misunderstand what this escape means. You have filled your request with many scriptures, and this is good, for the word of God is our anchor. But mark this: the escape our Lord speaks of is not a flight from tribulation, but a passing through it with a soul untouched by the world's corruption. It is the preservation of the inner man, so that when the birth pangs come, they do not cause you to stumble. For tribulation itself is not the enemy; it is the very instrument that works patience, and patience works hope that does not disappoint. The ship is not protected by being kept in the harbor, but by being strengthened to weather the storm. So the strength for which you pray is not a removal from trial, but the power to stand firm in it, your heart not weighed down with dissipation or the cares of this life, as the Lord warned.

Why, then, do you ask only for strength to escape? You must also ask for the mind to endure. The apostles rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for the Name, not because they escaped insult, but because they conquered it through noble endurance. Do you think Paul, when he was stoned and left for dead, was not in need of prayer? He himself begged the Church to pray for him, yet he also labored mightily, working with his own hands, buffeted and reviled. He did not say, "What need have I of prayer?" but acknowledged that the surpassing power was from God, not from himself. Even so, this power is made perfect in weakness, and it is given to those who are on the alert, not sleeping, not trusting in the prayers of others while they themselves lie idle. The prayers of the saints profit you greatly, but only if you yourself are also watchful. If you sleep, the help of others will not avail, for the righteous call is a partnership of our own earnestness with divine grace.

You seek to abide in Christ as the branch in the vine. Good. But abiding is not a passive state; it is a continual, active clinging, especially when the knife of affliction strips away the suckers. His word must abide in you richly, so that whatever you ask is shaped by His will. And His will is not that you be spared the birth pangs, but that you be transformed by them, from glory to glory, as you look to the unshaken kingdom. Christ lifted His eyes to heaven and prayed, not because He needed anything from the Father, but to teach you that in every trial you must flee to God with boldness and tears, and not faint. So, when you feel the earth shake and the nations rage, do not be troubled. These things must take place. The end is not yet. The labor pains announce the new creation. Therefore, stand fast. Let tribulation have its perfect work. For the one who endures to the end, the same shall be saved, and there is no other way.

 

[Silas]

You have set your prayer where it belongs, in the words of Jesus and in the promise that heaven and earth will pass away but His words will not. What you are asking for is not the removal of every shaking, but the strength to stand before the Son while everything that can be shaken is shaken. That strength does not come from our own resolve. It comes from the Spirit strengthening the inner person, and from Christ settling down and being at home in the heart through faith. When He is at home there, fruitfulness is not a strained effort; it is what remains because the life of the Vine is flowing.

You also asked to be kept from deception. That keeping comes from staying close to the words of Jesus. When many voices come in His name and many things compete for your fear, the test is always whether a voice keeps you rooted in the Son. Do not let anything move you away from the gospel you have received.

The birth pangs are not a sign that the promise is failing. They are the sign that the new creation is being born. When you see them increase, do not be frightened. That was Jesus' own word. Keep alert, keep praying, and keep your eyes on the risen Christ. He is at the right hand of power interceding for us. He prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail, and His intercession has not weakened. Endurance to the end is not a lonely climb. It is abiding in the One who already overcame.

Remember also that you already stand before God in a righteousness that is not your own. It is given to you by faith in Jesus Christ. That is the only safe ground for the day of the Son of Man. Because of that standing, you can rejoice in hope of the glory of God even while the world groans. The old order is passing, but your citizenship is already in the kingdom of light and life. Let that govern your watching.

So I pray with you for daily bread, for clarity against deception, for love that stays warm, and for the gospel of the kingdom to be proclaimed to all people groups. But I also pray that you would experience Christ at home in your inner being, so that when the shaking comes you will discover that you are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let gratitude and reverence shape your watching, not terror.
