Only One Thing On This Earth Will Last Forever

Mark 13:2
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The apostles looking down at Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, expressed wonder at the beautiful buildings that constituted the Temple. Since their gaze was in that direction He paused to let them take it in and then told them that there would be a day when it would all be torn down and destroyed.
·       It wouldn't just wear out
·       It would be taken apart
Completely, violently

Jesus spoke first of the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus in 70 AD but more importantly of the destruction that would happen during the Tribulation judgment. Ultimately everything of the earth will be melted with fervent heat when God destroys this world to create new heavens and a new earth.

People today, Christians included are too prone:
·       To fall in love with
·       To become impressed with and
·       To invest their life into
earthly things that will one day be thrown down:
·       Completely
·       Violently

Jesus said there is only one thing on this earth that will endure forever (besides the soul of man), His Word. (Vs 31)


And it is in His word we would be best to invest.
