Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Coming of the lord
NOW we entreat you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him: that ye be not hastily agitated with apprehension, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by discourse, nor by letter, as coming from us, as though the day of the Lord was instantly approaching. Let no man deceive you in any way: because that cannot be till the apostasy come first, and the man of sin appear, the son of perdition, read more.
who opposeth himself against, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or is the object of adoration; so that he in the temple of God sitteth as God, exhibiting himself in public that he is God. Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of iniquity is already powerfully working; only he that withholdeth hitherto, will do so till he is removed. And then that lawless person will appear, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming; whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles, and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.

AND Jesus departing was going his way from the temple: and his disciples came to him, to point out to his observation the buildings of the temple. But Jesus said unto them, Do you not see all these things? I tell you of a certainty, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be utterly thrown down. Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age? read more.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Beware that no man deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive multitudes. And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not terrified: for these things must first be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be roused up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. Now all these things are the beginning of the travailing pangs. Then shall they deliver you up to affliction, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will grow cool. But he that endureth to the end, that man will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole world for a testimony to all the nations: and then shall come the final close. When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, erected in the holy place, (let him that readeth, mark this,) then let such as are in Judea flee into the mountains. Let not him who is upon the roof go down to take any thing out of his house. And he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment. But wo to those who are with child, and have an infant at their breasts in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on the sabbath. For then the tribulation will be great, such as never was from the beginning of the world, and never more shall be. And except those days were shortened, there would be no flesh saved: but for the elect's sake these days shall be shortened. Then if any man say unto you, Lo! here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not: for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect. Behold, I have forewarned you. Therefore if they say to you, He is in the wilderness; go not out: lo! he is in the secret closets; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out from the east, and flashes to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Then, immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall the sign of the Son of man appear in the heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send forth his angels with a trumpet, and a great shout, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities of the same. Learn then a parable from the fig-tree; when its branch is now tender, and the leaves shoot forth, ye know that summer is nigh: just so ye, when ye behold these things, know that it is near, even at the gates. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away until all these things shall be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. But of that day and hour no man knoweth, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father alone. But as the days of Noah were, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For as they were in the days preceding the deluge, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they knew it not till the deluge came, and swept them all away; such also shall the coming of the Son of man be. Then two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other dismissed. Two women grinding at the mill; the one taken, the other dismissed. Watch therefore: for ye know not at what hour your Master cometh. And this observe, that if the master of the family had known in which watch of the night the thief would have come, he would have watched, and not have suffered him to break into his house. Therefore be ye also prepared: for in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

AND as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said unto him, Master, behold what vast stones, and what structures! And Jesus answering said to him, Beholdest thou these magnificent structures? there shall not be left one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down. And as he was sitting on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, read more.
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things shall come to pass? Then Jesus answering them, began to say, Beware that no man deceive you: for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many. But when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not troubled: for these things must be; but the end is not yet. And nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and commotions: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to their sanhedrims, and to the synagogues; ye shall be beaten with rods, and be set before kings and governors for my name's sake, for a testimony unto them. And the Gospel must first be preached to all nations. But when delivering you up, they shall bring you to the bar, be not previously anxious what ye shall say, neither premeditate: for it shall be given to you at that very hour, what ye shall speak: for it is not you, who are speaking, but the Holy Ghost. And brother shall deliver up brother unto death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. But when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing where it ought not (let him that readeth observe), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains: and let not him who is on the roof go down into the house, nor enter into it, to carry away any thing out of the house: and he that is in the field, let him not return back to take his garment. But wo to those who are big with child, and who have infants at their breasts in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter. For these days shall bring tribulation, such as the like hath never been from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, and never shall be more. And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been preserved: but for the sake of those elect, whom he hath elected, he hath shortened the days. And then, if any man say to you, Lo, here is the Messiah! or, lo there! believe it not. For many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect. But be ye on your guard: lo! I have told you all things: but in those days, after that distressing season, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not emit her light; and the stars of the heaven will be falling, and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with vast power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather to him his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the utmost bound of heaven. Now learn from the fig-tree, a parable; When her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh; so also you, when ye see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled.

And some of them talking of the temple, how adorned it was with the beautiful stone-work and the dedicated offerings, he said, As for these things which ye are gazing upon, the days will come, in which one stone will not be left upon another, that shall not be utterly thrown down. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what is the sign, when these things are ready to come to pass? read more.
Then he said, Take heed that ye be not deluded: for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the period approaches: go not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the conclusion is not immediately. Then saith he unto them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and in the heaven shall be frightful appearances, and mighty signs. But before all these things, they will lay hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and to prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall afford you an opportunity to bear your testimony. Therefore rest satisfied in your hearts, not to premeditate what apology to make: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall be utterly unable to contradict or resist. But ye shall be betrayed even by parents, and brethren, and relations, and friends; and some of you they shall put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. Though a hair of your head shall in nowise perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. But when ye see Jerusalem, encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it approaches. Then let those who are in Judea fly unto the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of her get far away: and they who are in the countries, let them not enter into her. For these are the days of vengeance, when all things which are written shall be fulfilled. But wo to those who are big with child, and have infants at their breasts, in those days! for there shall be great distress on the earth, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden under foot of the Gentiles, until the times appointed for the Gentiles shall come to their period. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men terrified to death with fear, and expectation of the calamities coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake a parable unto them, Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees, when they now put forth, as soon as ye see it ye know in yourselves that the summer is now near: so ye also, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Verily I say unto you, That this generation shall in nowise pass away, until all these things come to pass. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall never pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts should be overloaded with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the anxious cares of life, and that day should come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come upon all that are settled on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, praying at every proper opportunity, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are ready to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
