Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Coming of the lord
Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, do not get upset right away or alarmed when someone claims that we said through some spirit, conversation, or letter that the Day of Jehovah has already come. (Isaiah 13:6) (Zephaniah 1:14) (2 Peter 3:10) Do not let anyone deceive you about this in any way. That day will not come unless apostasy (a falling away from truth) takes place first, and the man of lawlessness (sin), the man of destruction, is revealed. (2 Timothy 4:3) read more.
He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship. As a result, he seats himself in the sanctuary of God and declares (promotes) himself to be like God. (Ezekiel 28:2) Do you remember that I repeatedly told you about these things when I was still with you? There is something that keeps this from happening now, and you know what it is. At the proper time, then, the wicked one will appear. The secret of evil (lawlessness) is even now at work. But there is one who restrains the evil till he is taken out of the way. Then the evil (lawless) one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will put him to death with the breath of his mouth, and destroy him by the manifestation (brightness) (advent) (revelation) of his coming. (Greek: parousia: presence, return, being near) The evil (lawless) one will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false signs and wonders. He will use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved. So God dispatches the power of deceit (error) to work in them so that they are allowed to believe what is false. Then everyone who did not believe the truth, but was delighted with wickedness, will be condemned.

After Jesus left the temple, his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. He said to them: Do you see these things? I tell you, not one stone will be left upon another. They will all be thrown down. He sat on the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when these things will be? What will be the sign of your presence and of the end of the age? read more.
Jesus answered: Be careful that no man misleads you. Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Do not be troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many places. These things are the beginning of birth pains (Greek: odin': in the throws of pain, such as childbirth). People will cause you tribulation, and kill you. You will be hated by all the nations for my name's sake. Many will stumble and betray and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. Wickedness and lawlessness will increase. The love of many will grow cold. The person who endures to the end will be saved. The good news of the kingdom will be preached in the entire world for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come. When you see the disgusting abomination of desolation (unclean thing) spoken about through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that reads understand), you in Judea flee to the mountains; you on the housetop do not go down to remove the things in your house. You in the field do not return to get your clothes. You who are pregnant or nursing babies in those days will feel trouble. Pray that your flight not be in the winter, neither on a Sabbath. There will be great tribulation. It will be greater than any has ever been from the beginning of the world until now. Unless those days are shortened, no flesh will be saved. For the sake of the chosen ones (selected individuals), those days will be shortened. If someone says, 'Here is the Christ,' or, 'Over there is the Christ,' do not believe it. There will be false Christs and false prophets. They will show great signs and wonders so that many will be misled. This includes some of the chosen ones. Remember, I told you before it happens. If they say, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' or, 'He is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it. Lightning comes from the east and is seen in the west. The coming of the Son of man is like this. The eagles will gather at the place of the carcass. Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened. The moon will not give light. The stars will fall from heaven. The powers of the heavens will be shaken. The sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of earth will mourn. They will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. He will send his angels with a great trumpet sound. They will gather together the anointed from the four winds, from one end of the sky (horizon) to the other. Learn from the illustration of the fig tree. When the branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. Therefore, when you see all these things, you will know he is near, even at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation (those living at that time) will not pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. No one knows the day and the hour (the period of time). The angels of heaven do not know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows! The presence of the Son of man will be similar to the days of Noah. It will be like those days before the Flood. They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. They were not aware until the Flood came and took them all away. The coming (presence) of the Son of man will be like this. Two will be in the field. One will be taken, and one will be left. Two will grind at the mill. One will be taken, and one will be left. Be alert, for you do not know what day the Lord will come. Know this, if the master of the house had known what time the thief was coming, he would have watched and his house would not have been vandalized. Be prepared! The Son of man will come at a time when you do not expect it.

As he left the temple one of his disciples said to him: Teacher look at these stones and the great buildings! Jesus said: See these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another.

Tell us when will these things be? What will be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? Jesus warned them: Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many will come in my name (Greek: onoma: claiming my authority), saying, I am he; and will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors (reports) of wars do not be troubled. These things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of pain (sorrow) (trouble). Be on guard for they will deliver you up to courts. You will be beaten in the meeting places. You will be taken before governors and kings for a testimony to them for my sake. And the good news must first be preached to all the nations. When they deliver you up to judgment, do not worry before hand what you shall speak. Holy Spirit will give it to you at that time. Brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. All men will hate you because of my name. He who endures to the end will be saved. When you see the unclean thing that makes desolation standing where he ought not (let the reader use discernment), then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains. He who is on the housetop should not go down to enter and take anything out his house. He who is in the field should not return to take his clothes. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Pray that this not be in the winter. The tribulation in these days will be greater then there has ever been from the beginning of God's creation until now, and never shall be. Unless Jehovah shortened the days no flesh would be saved. For the sake of his chosen anointed he will shorten the days. If any man will say to you here is the Christ or there is the Christ do not believe it. There will arise false Christs and false prophets. They show signs and wonders that will mislead many, even the anointed. Be alert for I have told you all things beforehand. In those days after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light. The stars will fall from heaven and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. They will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. He will send the angels to gather together his anointed from the four winds, from one end of the earth to the other end of heaven. Learn the illustration of the fig tree. When her branch is tender and she sprouts leaves you know summer is near. So when you see these things happening you know that he is near, even at the doors.

Some spoke of how wonderful the temple was. How it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus replied: Concerning these things you see, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. They asked him: Teacher, when would these things take place? What will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? read more.
He said: Take heed that you are not led astray. Many will come in my name, saying, I am he but the time is not at hand. Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and disturbances do not be terrified. These things must occur first. The end is not immediate. Then he said: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes. There will be famines and pestilences in various places. There shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. Even before all these things, they will capture you, and persecute you. You will be delivered to synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. It will give you an opportunity to witness. Do not think about what you will say before it happens. I will give you ability to talk and words of wisdom, which your adversaries shall not be able to resist or refute. Parent, brothers and sisters and friends will turn you over and cause you to be put to death. Men will hate you because of my name. Yet not a hair of your head will perish. You will gain your lives because of your endurance. When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies you will know that desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her leave. And let no one from the country enter. These are days of vengeance! All things written will be fulfilled. Woe to those who are pregnant and those who nurse a child in those days! There will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people. They will be killed by the edge of the sword. Some will be led captive into all the nations. The people of the nations will tread down Jerusalem until the time of the Nations is fulfilled. There will be signs in sun and moon and stars. The earth will experience distress of nations in disarray for the roaring of the sea and the waves. Men will faint out of fear for expectation of the things coming on the world. The powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to happen lift up your heads because your redemption draws near. He told them an illustration: Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they produce leaves you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near! Truly I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things are accomplished. Heaven and earth will pass away: but my words will not pass away. Be awake so your hearts are not weighed down. Do not allow the weight of worldly involvement, drunkenness, and cares of this life be a snare when that day suddenly comes. It will come as a surprise to all who dwell on the face of the earth. Be on the watch all the time. Pray for the strength to escape all these things in order to stand before the Son of man.

They will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. He will send the angels to gather together his anointed from the four winds, from one end of the earth to the other end of heaven. Learn the illustration of the fig tree. When her branch is tender and she sprouts leaves you know summer is near. So when you see these things happening you know that he is near, even at the doors. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
Tell us when will these things be? What will be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? Jesus warned them: Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many will come in my name (Greek: onoma: claiming my authority), saying, I am he; and will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors (reports) of wars do not be troubled. These things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of pain (sorrow) (trouble). Be on guard for they will deliver you up to courts. You will be beaten in the meeting places. You will be taken before governors and kings for a testimony to them for my sake. And the good news must first be preached to all the nations. When they deliver you up to judgment, do not worry before hand what you shall speak. Holy Spirit will give it to you at that time. Brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. All men will hate you because of my name. He who endures to the end will be saved. When you see the unclean thing that makes desolation standing where he ought not (let the reader use discernment), then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains. He who is on the housetop should not go down to enter and take anything out his house. He who is in the field should not return to take his clothes. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Pray that this not be in the winter. The tribulation in these days will be greater then there has ever been from the beginning of God's creation until now, and never shall be. Unless Jehovah shortened the days no flesh would be saved. For the sake of his chosen anointed he will shorten the days. If any man will say to you here is the Christ or there is the Christ do not believe it. There will arise false Christs and false prophets. They show signs and wonders that will mislead many, even the anointed. Be alert for I have told you all things beforehand. In those days after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light. The stars will fall from heaven and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. They will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. He will send the angels to gather together his anointed from the four winds, from one end of the earth to the other end of heaven. Learn the illustration of the fig tree.

Some spoke of how wonderful the temple was. How it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus replied: Concerning these things you see, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. They asked him: Teacher, when would these things take place? What will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? read more.
He said: Take heed that you are not led astray. Many will come in my name, saying, I am he but the time is not at hand. Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and disturbances do not be terrified. These things must occur first. The end is not immediate. Then he said: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes. There will be famines and pestilences in various places. There shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. Even before all these things, they will capture you, and persecute you. You will be delivered to synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. It will give you an opportunity to witness. Do not think about what you will say before it happens. I will give you ability to talk and words of wisdom, which your adversaries shall not be able to resist or refute. Parent, brothers and sisters and friends will turn you over and cause you to be put to death. Men will hate you because of my name. Yet not a hair of your head will perish. You will gain your lives because of your endurance. When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies you will know that desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her leave. And let no one from the country enter. These are days of vengeance! All things written will be fulfilled. Woe to those who are pregnant and those who nurse a child in those days! There will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people. They will be killed by the edge of the sword. Some will be led captive into all the nations. The people of the nations will tread down Jerusalem until the time of the Nations is fulfilled. There will be signs in sun and moon and stars. The earth will experience distress of nations in disarray for the roaring of the sea and the waves. Men will faint out of fear for expectation of the things coming on the world. The powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to happen lift up your heads because your redemption draws near. He told them an illustration: Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they produce leaves you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near! Truly I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things are accomplished. Heaven and earth will pass away: but my words will not pass away. Be awake so your hearts are not weighed down. Do not allow the weight of worldly involvement, drunkenness, and cares of this life be a snare when that day suddenly comes. It will come as a surprise to all who dwell on the face of the earth. Be on the watch all the time. Pray for the strength to escape all these things in order to stand before the Son of man.

They will be killed by the edge of the sword. Some will be led captive into all the nations. The people of the nations will tread down Jerusalem until the time of the Nations is fulfilled.
There was given me a reed like a measuring rod: and the angel stood, saying: Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship there. Do not measure the court outside the temple for it is given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
Israel » Captivity of » Foretold
The cities in the Negev will be locked up. There will be no one to reopen them. All the people of Judah will be taken away into captivity.
Jehovah will bring you and your king, whom you set over you, to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods made of wood and stone.
They will be killed by the edge of the sword. Some will be led captive into all the nations. The people of the nations will tread down Jerusalem until the time of the Nations is fulfilled.
Jehovah will punish Israel, and she will shake like a reed shaking in a stream. He will uproot the people of Israel from this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have aroused his anger by making idols of the goddess Asherah.
Some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away! They will become officers in the palace of the king of Babylon.'
Amos said: Jeroboam will die by the sword. Israel will surely be led away captive (in exile) out of his land.

The word of Jehovah came to me: Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. The Lord Jehovah said: I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. read more.
I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws. I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords. I will also bring out Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops and many peoples with you. Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. After many days you will be summoned. In the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel that had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the nations, and all of them are living securely. You will go up like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land. You your troops will have many peoples with you.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'It will come about on that day, that thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil plan. You will say: I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will go against those who are securely at rest. They live without walls and have no bars or gates. I will go to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world. Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you: Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?' Prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: 'The Lord Jehovah says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, will you not know it? You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a mighty army. You will come up against my people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days through my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them? It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,' declares the Lord Jehovah, 'that my fury will mount up in my anger. In my zeal and in my blazing wrath I proclaim that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the people who are on the face of the earth will shake at my presence! The mountains will be thrown down! The steep pathways will collapse and every wall will fall to the ground.' I will call for a sword against Gog on all my mountains,' declares the Lord Jehovah. 'Every man's sword will be against his brother. With pestilence and with blood I will enter into judgment on him. I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with hailstones, fire and brimstone. I will magnify myself, sanctify myself, and make myself known in the sight of many nations! Then they will know that I am Jehovah.' (Matthew 6:9)

The Lord Jehovah says: 'Son of man, denounce Gog, the chief ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. Tell him that I am his enemy. I will turn him in a new direction and lead him out of the far north until he comes to the mountains of Israel. I will knock his bow out of his left hand and his arrows out of his right hand. read more.
Gog and his army and his allies will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. I will let their bodies be food for all the birds and wild animals.' They will fall dead in the open field. I,' the Lord Jehovah, 'have spoken. I will start a fire in the land of Magog and along all the seacoasts where people live undisturbed. Everyone will know that I am Jehovah! I will make sure that my people Israel know my holy name. I will not let my name be disgraced any more. Then the nations will know that I, Jehovah, am the holy God of Israel.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'The day I spoke about is certain to come. The people who live in the cities of Israel will go out and collect the abandoned weapons for firewood. They will build fires with the shields, bows, arrows, spears, and clubs, and have enough to last for seven years. They will not have to gather firewood in the fields or cut down trees in the forest, because they will have the abandoned weapons to burn. They will loot and plunder those who looted and plundered them. The Lord Jehovah has spoken.' On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea. It will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with his entire horde, and they will call it the valley of Hamon-gog (Multitude of God). For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. Even all the people of the land will bury them. It will be to their renown on the day that I glorify myself,' proclaims the Lord Jehovah. They will set apart men who will constantly pass through the land, burying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a man's bone, then he will set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. Even the name of the city will be Hamonah. In this way they will cleanse the land.' As for you, son of man, the Lord Jehovah says: 'Speak to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field: Assemble and come, gather from every side to my sacrifice that I am going to sacrifice for you. It is a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood. You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.' You will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk; from my sacrifice I have sacrificed for you.' You will be glutted at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,' declares the Lord Jehovah. I will show my greatness among the nations. All the nations will see how I will turn my power against them to punish them. From that day on, the people of Israel will know that I am Jehovah their God. Then the nations will know that the people of Israel went into captivity because they did wrong and rebelled against me. I hid my face (withdrew my support) from them and handed them over to their enemies. They were killed in battle. I paid them back for their uncleanness and their sins. I hid my face from them.'

Behold! At that time I will bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem. I will gather all nations! I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage, Israel. They have scattered my people among the nations and they have divided up my land. They cast lots for my people, and traded a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. read more.
What are you to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you pay recompense (compensation) to me? If you pay recompense to me swiftly and speedily, will I return your recompense upon your own head? You have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my precious treasures into your temples. You sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks. You remove them far from their border. Behold, I will arouse them out of the place where you sold them and will return your recompense upon your head. I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah. And they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for Jehovah has spoken it. Proclaim this among the nations! Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears! Let the weak say, I am strong. Hurry and come all you nations round about. Gather yourselves there and cause your mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah's Judgment)! I will sit there to judge all the nations round about. Thrust in the sickle for the harvest is ripe! Come and tread for the winepress is full and the vats overflow. Their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! The day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars diminish their shining. Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

The prophetic utterance of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. Jehovah declared: Who stretches forth the heavens? Who lays the foundation of the earth? Who forms the spirit of man within him? I will make Jerusalem a cup that causes trembling to the people in the nations nearby. Judah will also be attacked when they attack Jerusalem. It will happen in that day! I will make Jerusalem a heavy weight for all the people. All who lift it will be severely injured. All the nations of the earth will gather against her. read more.
In that day, said Jehovah, I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness! I will watch the house of Judah. Every horse of the people will be struck with blindness. The people of Judah (including the leaders) will say in their hearts: The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength through Jehovah of Hosts their God. I will make the people of Judah like a pan of fire among wood and like a flaming torch among sheaves of grain. They will consume all the peoples on the right hand and on the left all around. The inhabitants of Jerusalem will again dwell in their own place, in Jerusalem. Jehovah will save the dwellings of Judah first. The glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah. In that day Jehovah will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He that is feeble among them will be like David. For the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Jehovah before them. It will happen at that time. I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of kindness and of supplication. They will look to the one whom they pierced; and they will mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son. There will be a bitter lamentation for him, like one who grieves for his first-born.

Behold! A Day of Jehovah comes, when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem! The city will be defeated. The houses will be plundered and the women raped! Half of the city will be taken into captivity. The remainder of the people will not be removed from the city. Then Jehovah will go forth and fight against those nations. It will be just as when he fought in the day of battle. read more.
His feet will stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half toward the east and toward the west. There will be a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. You will flee by the valley of my mountains. For the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel. Yes you will flee the same as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Jehovah my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. It will happen! There will be no light for the bright ones will withdraw themselves! It will be a day known to Jehovah. It will not be day and it will not be night, but there will light in the evening. It will happen! Living waters will go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be both in the summer and in the winter. Jehovah will be King over all the earth. Jehovah will be the only one and his name will be the only one in that day. All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. People will live there and there will be no more curses. Jerusalem will dwell safely. The plague will be that Jehovah will strike all the peoples that have gone to war against Jerusalem! Their flesh will wither away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes will wither away in their sockets, and their tongue will wither away in their mouth. It will happen! A great tumult (trouble) (disturbance) from Jehovah will fall on them. Everyone of them will lay hold on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor (neighbor will fight against neighbor).
His feet will stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half toward the east and toward the west. There will be a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. You will flee by the valley of my mountains. For the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel. Yes you will flee the same as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Jehovah my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. It will happen! There will be no light for the bright ones will withdraw themselves! It will be a day known to Jehovah. It will not be day and it will not be night, but there will light in the evening. It will happen! Living waters will go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be both in the summer and in the winter. Jehovah will be King over all the earth. Jehovah will be the only one and his name will be the only one in that day. All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses.

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates. Its water was dried up so that the way might be prepared for the kings from the east. I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are demonic spirits, working signs, which go to the kings of the earth, of the whole world. They gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. read more.
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his outer garment, that he does not walk naked and they see his shame. He gathered them together to a place called in the Hebrew tongue Har-Magedon. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven. It said: It is done! There were voices, and thunders, and lightnings. There was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered Babylon the Great. He gave her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his anger (wrath). Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. There fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent (45 to 100 pounds). Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague was exceeding great.

When the thousand years end, Satan will be let loose out of his prison. Satan will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle.

Jerusalem » Prophecies against
The priests and the prophets said to the leaders and to the people: This man deserves to be sentenced to death because he has spoken against our city. You heard him with your own ears.
The word of Jehovah that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. This is the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins. It will be a gathering place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah desolation, without inhabitant.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the prophets and stone the messengers who are sent to you! How often I wanted to gather your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings. But you were not willing!
Jehovah of Hosts, the Almighty (Ruler) (Sovereign) is going to take all support and supply of food and water from Jerusalem and Judah.
The time is coming when your enemies will surround you and blockade you with a rampart (wall) on all sides. They will close in on you.
He will make a firm covenant with many for one week (time period of seven). In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offerings to cease. The one that makes desolate will come upon the wing of abominations. At the end that which is decreed will be poured out upon the one lying desolate.
It was the first year of his reign. I, Daniel, understood from The Books (Holy Scriptures) the number of the years in the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah the prophet. It was seventy years since the destruction of Jerusalem.
They will be killed by the edge of the sword. Some will be led captive into all the nations. The people of the nations will tread down Jerusalem until the time of the Nations is fulfilled.
Therefore days are coming, declares Jehovah, when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the valley of Ben-hinnom, but rather the valley of Slaughter.
I will also make this city a desolation and an object of hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its disasters.
For I have set my face against this city for harm and not for good, declares Jehovah. It will be surrendered to the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.
Jerusalem and the cities of Judah as well as its kings and officials drank from it. When they drank from it, they became wastelands and ruins, something ridiculed and cursed, until today.
It is your fault that Zion will be plowed like a field. Jerusalem will become heaps of ruin, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Jehovah of Hosts, the Almighty (Ruler) (Sovereign) is going to take all support and supply of food and water from Jerusalem and Judah. He will take their heroes and soldiers, judges and prophets, fortunetellers and statesmen, military leaders and civilian leaders, counselors, skilled workers, and experts in magic. read more.
I will make boys their leaders. Childish tyrants will govern them. People will oppress each other. Everyone will harass his neighbor. The young will tyrannize the old. The common people will taunt their superiors. A person will grab one of his relatives from his father's family and say: You have a coat. You will be our leader. This pile of ruins will be under your control. Then the relative will cry out: I am not a healer! I do not have any food or a coat in my home. Do not make me a leader of the people. Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because what they say and what they do is against Jehovah! They are defiant in his honored presence.

Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel says: 'I am about to bring on this city and all its towns the entire disaster that I have declared against it. This is because they have stiffened their necks (vigorously resisted) so as not to heed my words.'
Why have you said in Jehovah's name that this Temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will be destroyed and no one will live in it?' Then the people crowded around me.

But when Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. It will be similar in the day that the Son of man is revealed. A man will be on the housetop. He should not go down into the house to take his possessions. He that is in the field should likewise not return to the house. Remember Lot's wife! He who seeks to gain his life will lose it. He who loses his life will preserve it. I tell you, that on that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken (learn) (be received) and the other will be left (omited) (forsaken). There will be two grinding together. One will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two men in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left. They asked him: Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is the eagles will also gather.

There will arise false Christs and false prophets. They show signs and wonders that will mislead many, even the anointed. Be alert for I have told you all things beforehand.

There was given me a reed like a measuring rod: and the angel stood, saying: Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship there. Do not measure the court outside the temple for it is given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

Tell us when will these things be? What will be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? Jesus warned them: Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many will come in my name (Greek: onoma: claiming my authority), saying, I am he; and will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors (reports) of wars do not be troubled. These things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of pain (sorrow) (trouble). Be on guard for they will deliver you up to courts. You will be beaten in the meeting places. You will be taken before governors and kings for a testimony to them for my sake. And the good news must first be preached to all the nations. When they deliver you up to judgment, do not worry before hand what you shall speak. Holy Spirit will give it to you at that time. Brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. All men will hate you because of my name. He who endures to the end will be saved. When you see the unclean thing that makes desolation standing where he ought not (let the reader use discernment), then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains. He who is on the housetop should not go down to enter and take anything out his house. He who is in the field should not return to take his clothes. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! Pray that this not be in the winter. The tribulation in these days will be greater then there has ever been from the beginning of God's creation until now, and never shall be. Unless Jehovah shortened the days no flesh would be saved. For the sake of his chosen anointed he will shorten the days. If any man will say to you here is the Christ or there is the Christ do not believe it. There will arise false Christs and false prophets. They show signs and wonders that will mislead many, even the anointed. Be alert for I have told you all things beforehand. In those days after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light. The stars will fall from heaven and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. They will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. He will send the angels to gather together his anointed from the four winds, from one end of the earth to the other end of heaven. Learn the illustration of the fig tree. When her branch is tender and she sprouts leaves you know summer is near. So when you see these things happening you know that he is near, even at the doors. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
Tell us when will these things be? What will be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished? Jesus warned them: Take heed that no man lead you astray. Many will come in my name (Greek: onoma: claiming my authority), saying, I am he; and will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors (reports) of wars do not be troubled. These things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of pain (sorrow) (trouble). Be on guard for they will deliver you up to courts. You will be beaten in the meeting places. You will be taken before governors and kings for a testimony to them for my sake. And the good news must first be preached to all the nations. When they deliver you up to judgment, do not worry before hand what you shall speak. Holy Spirit will give it to you at that time. Brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. All men will hate you because of my name. He who endures to the end will be saved. When you see the unclean thing that makes desolation standing where he ought not (let the reader use discernment), then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Some spoke of how wonderful the temple was. How it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus replied: Concerning these things you see, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. They asked him: Teacher, when would these things take place? What will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? read more.
He said: Take heed that you are not led astray. Many will come in my name, saying, I am he but the time is not at hand. Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and disturbances do not be terrified. These things must occur first. The end is not immediate. Then he said: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes. There will be famines and pestilences in various places. There shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. Even before all these things, they will capture you, and persecute you. You will be delivered to synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. It will give you an opportunity to witness. Do not think about what you will say before it happens. I will give you ability to talk and words of wisdom, which your adversaries shall not be able to resist or refute. Parent, brothers and sisters and friends will turn you over and cause you to be put to death. Men will hate you because of my name. Yet not a hair of your head will perish. You will gain your lives because of your endurance. When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies you will know that desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her leave. And let no one from the country enter. These are days of vengeance! All things written will be fulfilled. Woe to those who are pregnant and those who nurse a child in those days! There will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people. They will be killed by the edge of the sword. Some will be led captive into all the nations. The people of the nations will tread down Jerusalem until the time of the Nations is fulfilled. There will be signs in sun and moon and stars. The earth will experience distress of nations in disarray for the roaring of the sea and the waves. Men will faint out of fear for expectation of the things coming on the world. The powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to happen lift up your heads because your redemption draws near. He told them an illustration: Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they produce leaves you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near! Truly I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things are accomplished.

After Jesus left the temple, his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. He said to them: Do you see these things? I tell you, not one stone will be left upon another. They will all be thrown down. He sat on the Mount of Olives. The disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when these things will be? What will be the sign of your presence and of the end of the age? read more.
Jesus answered: Be careful that no man misleads you. Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Do not be troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many places. These things are the beginning of birth pains (Greek: odin': in the throws of pain, such as childbirth). People will cause you tribulation, and kill you. You will be hated by all the nations for my name's sake. Many will stumble and betray and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. Wickedness and lawlessness will increase. The love of many will grow cold. The person who endures to the end will be saved. The good news of the kingdom will be preached in the entire world for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come. When you see the disgusting abomination of desolation (unclean thing) spoken about through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that reads understand), you in Judea flee to the mountains; you on the housetop do not go down to remove the things in your house. You in the field do not return to get your clothes. You who are pregnant or nursing babies in those days will feel trouble. Pray that your flight not be in the winter, neither on a Sabbath. There will be great tribulation. It will be greater than any has ever been from the beginning of the world until now. Unless those days are shortened, no flesh will be saved. For the sake of the chosen ones (selected individuals), those days will be shortened. If someone says, 'Here is the Christ,' or, 'Over there is the Christ,' do not believe it. There will be false Christs and false prophets. They will show great signs and wonders so that many will be misled. This includes some of the chosen ones. Remember, I told you before it happens. If they say, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' or, 'He is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it. Lightning comes from the east and is seen in the west. The coming of the Son of man is like this. The eagles will gather at the place of the carcass. Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened. The moon will not give light. The stars will fall from heaven. The powers of the heavens will be shaken. The sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of earth will mourn. They will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. He will send his angels with a great trumpet sound. They will gather together the anointed from the four winds, from one end of the sky (horizon) to the other. Learn from the illustration of the fig tree. When the branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. Therefore, when you see all these things, you will know he is near, even at the door.
