But, brethren, you have no need that I write to you of - the times and seasons; for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night: for when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as the pains of birth upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. read more.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunken, are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation: for God has not appointed us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we might live together with him. Wherefore, exhort one another, and edify one another, as you also do.

But, we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of; our Lord Jesus Christ, and our coming together to him, that you be not hastily shaken from the persuasion of your mind, nor be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by report, nor by letter as written by us, as though the day of the Lord is at hand.

who opposes and exalts himself above every one that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, openly showing him self that he is God. Do you not remember that, while I was with you, I told you these things? And now you know what restrains, in order that he may be revealed in his own proper time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work; only he that now restrains will restrain, till he be taken out of the way: and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth, and will utterly over throw by the brightness of his coming: he will destroy him, whose coming is, according to the energy of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, and with all the delusion of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, in order that they may believe a lie, that all may be condemned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.

And Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But Jesus said to them: Do you not see all these things? Verily I say to you, There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down, And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age? read more.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places. But all these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and kill you; and you will be hated by all nations on my account. And then will many be ensnared, and they will deliver one another up, and hate one another; and many false prophets will arise, and deceive many; and because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold. But he that endures to the end, shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the end come. When, therefore, you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that reads understand;) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the house-top come down to take his goods out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his clothing. But alas for those who are with child, and those who give suck in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath: for then shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor shall ever be. And unless those days should be made few, no flesh could be saved. But on account of the elect those days shall be made few. Then if any one shall say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or there; believe it not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand. Therefore, if they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines even to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures come together. Immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a trumpet of great voice, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Learn now a parable from the fig-tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors. Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all these things shall have taken place. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall 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, till the day in which Noah entered the ark, and knew not, till the flood came and took them all away: so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Then two men shall be in the field; one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one shall be taken, and the other left. "Watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, That if the master of the house had known at what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken open. For this reason, be you also ready; for at an hour in which you think not, the Son of man comes.

And as he was going out from the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Teacher, see what stones and what buildings! And Jesus answering, said to him: Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat 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 shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? Jesus answering them, began to say: Take heed, lest any one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am he, and will deceive many. But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled; for these things must be: but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines, and tumults. These are the beginning of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be scourged in the synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be preached among all the nations. But when they lead you to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand, nor premeditate what you shall speak; but what ever shall be given you in that hour, that do you speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and children will rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death; and you will be hated by all on my account. But he that endures to the end shall be saved. But when you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the house-top go down into his house, nor enter in to take any thing from his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his mantle. But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days. And pray that your flight may not be in the winter. For these will be the days of affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created, till this time, and will never be. And unless the Lord had made those days few, no flesh could be saved: but for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has made those days few. And then, if any one say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or, Lo! there; believe him not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. But do you take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand. But in those days, after that affliction, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars of heaven will fall, and the hosts that are in the heavens will be shaken.

Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? Jesus answering them, began to say: Take heed, lest any one deceive you.

And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said: As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying: Teacher, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things come to pass? read more.
He replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them. But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately. Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall 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, after being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. But this shall become to you the means of bearing testimony. Therefore, determine in your hearts not to meditate beforehand what you shall answer; for I will give you a mouth, and wisdom, which all your opposers shall not be able to gainsay or withstand. But you will be delivered up by parents and brothers and relatives and friends; and some of you they will put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. Yet a hair of your head shall not perish. By your patient endurance, preserve your lives. But when you shall see Jerusalem besieged by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of it, withdraw from it. Let those who are in the count try, not come within it. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive among all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth, distress of nations in perplexity; the sea and its waves roaring; men's hearts failing on account of the fearful expectation of the things that are coming on the land; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And he spoke a parable to them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees; when they now put forth leaves, you see, and know of yourselves that summer is near. So likewise, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become heavy with reveling and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day come upon you when you look not for it. For as a snare, it shall come on all that dwell on the face of all the land. Watch, therefore, and pray at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
He replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them. But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately. Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall 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, after being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

But you will be delivered up by parents and brothers and relatives and friends; and some of you they will put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. Yet a hair of your head shall not perish. By your patient endurance, preserve your lives. But when you shall see Jerusalem besieged by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of it, withdraw from it. Let those who are in the count try, not come within it. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive among all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth, distress of nations in perplexity; the sea and its waves roaring; men's hearts failing on account of the fearful expectation of the things that are coming on the land; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And he spoke a parable to them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees; when they now put forth leaves, you see, and know of yourselves that summer is near. So likewise, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become heavy with reveling and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day come upon you when you look not for it. For as a snare, it shall come on all that dwell on the face of all the land. Watch, therefore, and pray at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

And Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But Jesus said to them: Do you not see all these things? Verily I say to you, There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down, And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age? read more.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places. But all these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and kill you; and you will be hated by all nations on my account. And then will many be ensnared, and they will deliver one another up, and hate one another; and many false prophets will arise, and deceive many; and because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold. But he that endures to the end, shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the end come. When, therefore, you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that reads understand;) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the house-top come down to take his goods out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his clothing. But alas for those who are with child, and those who give suck in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath: for then shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor shall ever be. And unless those days should be made few, no flesh could be saved. But on account of the elect those days shall be made few. Then if any one shall say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or there; believe it not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand. Therefore, if they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines even to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures come together.

Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? Jesus answering them, began to say: Take heed, lest any one deceive you.

But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be scourged in the synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues, and into prisons, after being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become heavy with reveling and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day come upon you when you look not for it. For as a snare, it shall come on all that dwell on the face of all the land. Watch, therefore, and pray at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a trumpet of great voice, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ, according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love, having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, read more.

Redemption » When redemption will be near
And as he was going out from the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Teacher, see what stones and what buildings! And Jesus answering, said to him: Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat 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 shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? Jesus answering them, began to say: Take heed, lest any one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am he, and will deceive many. But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled; for these things must be: but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines, and tumults. These are the beginning of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be scourged in the synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be preached among all the nations. But when they lead you to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand, nor premeditate what you shall speak; but what ever shall be given you in that hour, that do you speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and children will rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death; and you will be hated by all on my account. But he that endures to the end shall be saved. But when you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the house-top go down into his house, nor enter in to take any thing from his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his mantle. But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days. And pray that your flight may not be in the winter. For these will be the days of affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created, till this time, and will never be. And unless the Lord had made those days few, no flesh could be saved: but for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has made those days few. And then, if any one say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or, Lo! there; believe him not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. But do you take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand. But in those days, after that affliction, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars of heaven will fall, and the hosts that are in the heavens will be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then will ho send his angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the most distant part of earth to the most distant part of heaven. But learn a parable from the fig-tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So, also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors. Verily I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all these things take place.

And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said: As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying: Teacher, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when these things come to pass? read more.
He replied: Take heed that you be not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying: I am he; and, The time is near. Go not, therefore, after them. But when you hear of wars, and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first take place; but the end comes not immediately. Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall 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, after being brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. But this shall become to you the means of bearing testimony. Therefore, determine in your hearts not to meditate beforehand what you shall answer; for I will give you a mouth, and wisdom, which all your opposers shall not be able to gainsay or withstand. But you will be delivered up by parents and brothers and relatives and friends; and some of you they will put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. Yet a hair of your head shall not perish. By your patient endurance, preserve your lives. But when you shall see Jerusalem besieged by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of it, withdraw from it. Let those who are in the count try, not come within it. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive among all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth, distress of nations in perplexity; the sea and its waves roaring; men's hearts failing on account of the fearful expectation of the things that are coming on the land; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And he spoke a parable to them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees; when they now put forth leaves, you see, and know of yourselves that summer is near. So likewise, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Verily I say to you, This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled.

And Jesus went out, and was departing from the temple, and his disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But Jesus said to them: Do you not see all these things? Verily I say to you, There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down, And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, and said: Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age? read more.
And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled, for all things must be fulfilled; but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places. But all these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and kill you; and you will be hated by all nations on my account. And then will many be ensnared, and they will deliver one another up, and hate one another; and many false prophets will arise, and deceive many; and because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold. But he that endures to the end, shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the end come. When, therefore, you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that reads understand;) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the house-top come down to take his goods out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his clothing. But alas for those who are with child, and those who give suck in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath: for then shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor shall ever be. And unless those days should be made few, no flesh could be saved. But on account of the elect those days shall be made few. Then if any one shall say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or there; believe it not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand. Therefore, if they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines even to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures come together. Immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken.
