So then, be consoling one another with these words.

But, straightway after the tribulation of those days, the sun, will be darkened, and, the moon, will not give her brightness, and, the stars, will fall from heaven, - and, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken; And, then, will be displayed - The sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and, then, will smite their breasts - all the tribes of the earth; and they will see the Son of Man - coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory. And he will send forth his messengers, with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen - Out of the four winds, from heavens' bounds, unto their bounds.

Unto the praise of the glory of his favour wherewith he favoured us in the Beloved One, - In whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our offences, according to the riches of his favour, which he made to superabound towards us; in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the sacred secret of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him, - For an administration of the fulness of the seasons, to reunite for himself (under one head) the all things in the Christ, the things upon the heavens, and the things upon the earth, in him: In whom also we were taken as an inheritance, according to the purpose of him who energiseth all things according to the counsel of his will,

But, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, - ye have, no need, that, unto you, anything be written; For, ye yourselves, perfectly well know - that, the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so, cometh; As soon as they begin to say - Peace! and safety! then, suddenly, upon them, cometh destruction, - just as the birth-throe unto her that is with child, - and in nowise shall they escape. read more.
But, ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that, the day, upon you, as upon thieves, should lay hold; For, all ye, are, sons of light, and sons of day, - we are not of night, nor of darkness: Hence, then, let us not be sleeping, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober: - For, they that sleep, by night, do sleep, and, they that drink, by night, do drink: - But, we, being of the day, let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and, for helmet, the hope of salvation.

Wherefore be consoling one another, and building up, each the other, - even as ye are also doing.

But we request you, brethren, - in behalf of the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him, That ye be not quickly tossed from your mind, nor be put in alarm - either by spirit, or by discourse, or by letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord, hath set in:
