Why does Jesus compare the end times to a fig tree putting out leaves? How can watching everything go wrong actually mean we're closer to rescue? What does it mean that heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word (that we are tied to) cannot? Watch the full video on YouTube to discover why being God's elect isn't about racing to the end, but recognizing that even if everything burns around you, you're already tied to the resurrection, and He has to come get you.
