SubjectBiblical Studies

This learning resource aims to guide students in analyzing biblical passages related to the 'last times,' primarily from the Gospel narratives of Matthew 24 and Mark 13. It focuses on identifying significant signs of global upheavals, such as wars and natural disasters, which are described metaphorically as 'birth pains' that precede a new beginning—highlighting a message of hope rather than fear. Students will engage in collaborative discussions to express common fears about global uncertainties and reflect on reassuring scriptures that alleviate these concerns. They will complete a 'Comfort Log' where they select comforting verses that provide reassurance in times of anxiety, fostering a deeper understanding of biblical eschatology and encouraging a spiritual posture of readiness and trust in God’s sovereignty.
