This is about a parable of Jesus relating to the great tribulation.
Jesus describes all the horrific things that will take place in the tribulation before this generation will be rescued by Jesus. (Matthew 24)
Jesus explains how to prepare for the end of the tribulation by using the example of a fig tree.
When the branches become tender and leaves appear all will know that summer is near. So like the fig tree look for the signs leading up to the end of the tribulation.
When you see all the terrible things taking place you will know the end is near and Jesus is returning to claim His church.
We are told to be alert and ready for the arrival of Jesus.
Jesus is hypothetically proclaiming if heaven and earth were to pass away believers can confidently trust the Word of God which is incorruptible and will never disappear or be replaced. The Word is the one thing you can stake your life on.
The instruction is to be firmly anchored in the Word of God and do not be misled by the deception and the calamities of the tribulation.
The Word of God is infallible and it is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Build your life on the Word of God not what you see with your eyes. You can be confident of your outcome because God is truth and He never changes.
Do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. There will be many false prophets at work during the tribulation. Every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.
Submit to the authority of Holy Spirit. He will always bring glory to Jesus and expose the counterfeit spirit of the Antichrist.
God keeps His Word!
The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
