TAKE HEED, WATCH
As I study Mark 13, those two counsels stand out in the chapter.
But what should we heed to or watch for, as we prepare for Jesus Christ's Second Coming?
We should watch for the the events that will precede His coming. There will be wars and natural calamities, love will leave the hearts of men. We must take heed to the words of God, as we endure the trials and tribulations to come. We should do as verse 33 instruct, "Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."

I am very blessed for modern revelation, as they add to the Bible on the things we should do to be prepared for that glorious day when Jesus Christ will return. One passage I love is found in D&C 87:8, it reads, "Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen." In the book Joseph Smith--Matthew chapter one we can also find counsel. One of them being for us to treasure up the word of God; consequently, meaningful scripture study and gospel principles application in our lives is primordial. We don't know when Christ will come again, thus we should not waste any time and start our preparation right now. Let's follow the example of the wise virgins found in Matthew 25:1-13 and fill our lamps with oil. Let's all be faithful and pray always, that Our Heavenly Father may help us live righteously and endure until the end.
