AntiChrist » The coming of antiChrist
Jesus answered and said to him, If any one loveth me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Fathers who sent me. These things have I spoken to you, while abiding with you; read more.
but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit which the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things which I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world giveth, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. Ye heard me say to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it hath come to pass, that when it hath come to pass ye may believe. I shall not talk much more with you. For the prince of the world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him, that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand. Let no one deceive you in any manner; for [that day will not come] unless the apostasy shall have come first and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition; read more.
he that opposeth and exalteth himself above every one that is called God, or worthy of worship, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself to be God. Do ye not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what restraineth, in order that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who now restraineth, until he be taken out of the way; and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming; [he,] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood, and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the falsehood; that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

My children, the last time is come; and as ye have heard that Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that the last time is come. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit that doth not acknowledge Jesus, is not of God; and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which ye have heard that it is to come, and even now it is already in the world.
Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Who
But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are sleeping, that ye may not sorrow, as others do, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then also will God, through Jesus, bring again with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that we who are living, we who are left till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those who have fallen asleep. read more.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a loud summons, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are living, we who are left, shall be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord. So then comfort one another with these words.

And immediately after the distress of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
But in those days, after that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. read more.
And then will he send forth the angels, and will gather the chosen ones from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
And then will he send forth the angels, and will gather the chosen ones from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ; according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him; having in love predestinated us for himself to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, read more.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved; in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding; having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to gather for himself into one all things in Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth; even in him, in whom we also obtained the inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, there is no need of writing to you; for ye yourselves know full well, that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. When they are saying, Peace and safety; then doth sudden destruction come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. read more.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief; for ye all are sons of light, and sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Let us not sleep, then, as others, but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night; but let us, as we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation; for God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should together live with him. Wherefore, encourage one another, and edify one another, as indeed ye are doing.

Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him, that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand.

And Jesus went out, and was going from the temple; and his disciples came to him, to show him the buildings of the temple. And he answering said to them, See ye not all these? Truly do I say to you, There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. And as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the signs of thy coming, and of the end of the world? read more.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many. And ye are to hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for these things must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in divers places. But all these things are the beginning of travailpains. Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name. And then will many fall away; and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of the many will wax cold. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. And these glad tidings of the kingdom will be published throughout the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end. When, therefore, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand,) then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down to take away the things belonging to his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath. For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be. And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these days will be shortened. Then if any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not. For there will rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived. Lo! I have told you beforehand. If therefore they say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the distress of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. And from the figtree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that summer is near. So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors. Truly do I say to you, This generation will not pass away, till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. But as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and knew not, until the flood came, and took them all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of man. Then will two men be in the field; one will be taken, and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one left. Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Teacher, see! what stones, and what buildings! And Jesus said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, read more.
Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? And Jesus began to say to them, See that no one deceive you. Many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. And when ye hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be not troubled; they must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in divers places; there will be famines. These things are the beginning of travailpains. But do ye take heed to yourselves; they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be taken into synagogues and beaten; and ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. And the glad tidings must first be published to all the nations. And when they lead you away to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand as to what ye shall speak; but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will rise up against parents, and put them to death. And ye will be hated by all on account of my name. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not,let him that readeth understand,then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down, nor enter, to take anything out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that it may not be in winter. For those days will be a time of distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, nor shall be. And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days. And then if any one shall say to you, See! here is the Christ; see! there; believe him not. For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and will do signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the chosen. But do ye take heed! I have told you all beforehand. But in those days, after that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and sacred gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be throw down. And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when then will these things be? and what will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? read more.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He, and the time is at hand. Go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but not immediately is the end. Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues, and into prisons, and bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name. It will turn out to you an opportunity for bearing testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate l beforehand what ye shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay. And ye will be delivered up both by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends; and some of you will they put to death. And ye will be hated by all on account of my name. But not a hair of your head will be lost. By your constancy secure your lives. But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are within the city go out of it, and let not those in the open country enter it. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to the women with child, and to those having children at the breast, in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves; mens hearts failing them from fear, and from looking for those things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the figtree and all the trees; when they have already shot forth, ye see it, and know of yourselves that summer is now nigh at hand. So also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Truly do I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, till all shall have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with surfeiting and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare will it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times, and pray that ye may be able to escape all the things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He, and the time is at hand. Go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but not immediately is the end. Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are within the city go out of it, and let not those in the open country enter it. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to the women with child, and to those having children at the breast, in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves; mens hearts failing them from fear, and from looking for those things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the figtree and all the trees; when they have already shot forth, ye see it, and know of yourselves that summer is now nigh at hand. So also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Truly do I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, till all shall have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with surfeiting and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare will it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times, and pray that ye may be able to escape all the things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
