“NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD!”

Luke 21:10-19                                 (ESV)

“10 Then HE said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11 There will be GREAT EARTHQUAKES, and in various places FAMINES and PESTILENCES. And there will be TERRORS and GREAT SIGNS from HEAVEN.

12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for MY NAME’S sake.

13 This will be your opportunity to bear witness.

14 Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer,

15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death.

17 You will be hated by all for MY NAME’S sake.

18 But “NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD” will perish.

19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.”

It can be amazing that some actually believe that “this world” and cosmos came together, AND HOLDS TOGETHER, all from a coincidence, some random happenstance?  However, Colossians 1:16 (ESV) plainly states “For by HIM (JESUS) all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through HIM and for HIM.”  Since humans physically live ON EARTH, we were made through HIM and for HIM.  

While walking on earth during HIS 30+ year ministry, JESUS imparted untold WISDOM, it’s just that some cannot grasp TRUTH because according to 1 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV) “The natural person DOES NOT accept the things of the Spirit of God, for THEY ARE FOLLY to him, and he is NOT ABLE to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.”  A person who has been in church their whole life who has yet to be regenerated is NOT ABLE to understand them!  A person who gives great wealth to the poor in NOT ABLE to understand them!  Unless a person has been “called out of the darkness and into HIS marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9), he cannot understand the things of the Spirit!

So it is with current events.  JESUS explicitly tells us that “NOT A HARD OF YOUR HEADS” will perish, yet a lot of “church people” are the ones at the supermarket buying like there is no tomorrow!  They might be correct, but if they are I won’t need anything in my shelves, nor on my toilet paper dispenser!  The KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS has declared “NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEADS” will perish, and I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE HIM!  FEAR and WORRY (Mark 4:39) were rebuked by JESUS because HE IS IN CONTROL, not nature, not circumstances, and not “the enemy”!!!

“There will be GREAT EARTHQUAKES, and in various places FAMINES and PESTILENCES. And there will be TERRORS and GREAT SIGNS from HEAVEN” could be taken out of a modern day newspaper.  JESUS is the ONLY answer to the CHAOS of “this world”!  When our MIND OF CHRIST (1 Corinthians 2:16), we are not fearful when JESUS is ignored and darkness (1 Peter 2:9 again) gets ahold of “this world”!  “NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEADS” will perish isn’t a dream, BUT A PROMISE!!!
