mga pagbasa silom, martes

Dako na garbo para sa mga Hudeo an ila templo sa Jerusalem, isa ka kahibuyungan na estruktura sa karaan na kalibutan pero tagtagna ni Jesus an pagkaguba nan ini.

An pagpropesiya nan pagkaguba isa ka parte sa paghukom.

Tangadjoan nila si Jesus nan signus kon kun-o ini mahitabo.

Tagpasidan-an sila na dili kon signus lamang an hanapon nila kondili an kaharian nan Diyos.

Mahamok na signus an hikit-an nila - mga giyera, gutom, sakit, dagku na bayod sanan linog - pero an Idja tagtudlo an katapusan na paghukom.

Tagwarningan na sab sila na dili sila magpa-ilad sanan motoo sa mga tawo na mogamit nan Idja ngayan sa pag-abot nan na adlaw.

An pinaka-punto dinhi na an mga pasidaan ni Jesus para sa ato tanan na magpreparar sanan mangandam kita permi kay silom damyag, dili nato gadjod kalikadjan an Adlaw nan Paghukom.

Andam ba kita tanan permi sa ato mga kaugalingon na moatubang sa ato Pinaka-Huwes sa pag-abot nan adalaw?

Ama, dili unta namo mahibalhog an amo mga kaugalingon sa empiyerno kay mahal Mo man kami karadjaw, Amen.

readings for tomorrow, tuesday

The Jewish people took great pride in the temple at Jerusalem, a marvel of the ancient world, but Jesus prophesied its destruction.

The foretelling of this destruction was a dire judgment in itself.

They sought Jesus for a sign that would indicate when this would occur.

He admonished them to not seek signs but rather to seek God's kingdom.

He said that there will be plenty of signs – such as wars, famines, diseases, tidal waves and earthquakes – pointing to God's ultimate judgment.

They were again admonished not to be deceived by those who would use His name when "the time has come" and not follow them.

The bottom line of all these is Jesus' exhortation for us to prepare and be ready for in the very soonest time, Judgment Day is inevitable.

Have we readied ourselves to face our Great Judge when "the time has come?"

Father, may we not condemn ourselves to hell, but let You love us, Amen.
