Prepare for Deception
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11
Prepare for Dishonor
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak,
neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Mark 13:11
Prepare for Hatred
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own:
but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:18-19
Prepare for Cold Hearts
From others:
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Keep your love warm:
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies,
do good to them which hate you, Luke 6:27
Prepare for Betrayal
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son;
and children shall rise up against their parents,
and shall cause them to be put to death. Mark 13:12
Prepare for Persecution
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. Matthew 24:9
Prepare for Death
And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge
and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Revelation 6:9-10
