Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Coming of the lord
But we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering unto him; that you be not suddenly shaken from your mind, nor disturbed, whether by a spirit, or through word, or a letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way: because unless there may first be an apostasy and the man of lawlessness may be revealed, the son of perdition, read more.
the one opposing and exalting himself above everything that is called God or divinity; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself off that he is God. Do you not remember that still being with you, I told you these things? And now you know that which hinders, that he should be revealed in his time. For already the mystery of lawlessness is working: only there is one now hindering, until he may be taken out of the midst; then indeed will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will remove by the spirit of his mouth, and will exterminate by the brightness of his coming; whose coming is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved. And on this account God sends to them the working of delusion, that they should believe a lie: in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

Jesus having gone out departed from the temple, and His disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the temple. And responding, He said to them, Do you not see all these? Truly, I say unto you, that stone may not be left here upon stone, which shall not be thrown down. And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives; the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the age? read more.
And Jesus responding said to them, See, lest any one may deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and they will deceive many. And you will be about to hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not disturbed: for it behooveth all these things to be, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. And all these things are the beginning of travails. Then they will deliver you into tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name, and then many will be offended; and they will betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and deceive many. And because iniquity doth abound, the divine love of many will grow cold. But the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end shall come. Then when you may see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth know), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains: and let him who is on the housetop not come down to take things out of his house: and let not the one in the field turn back to take his garment. But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days. But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even until now nor ever may be. And if those days were not shortened, no life would be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or, there: believe him not: for false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive even the elect, if possible. Behold, I have foretold you. Therefore if they may say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not out: Behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning comes from the east, and shines even unto the west; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For where the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. And immediately, after the desolation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the heaven: and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather His elect out of the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens, unto the extremities of the same. But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branch may now be tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh. So you also, when you may see all these things know that it is at the doors. Truly I say unto you, This race may not pass away until all these things may be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words can not pass away. Concerning that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels of the heavens, except my Father only. But as were the days of Noah, so indeed shall be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and they did not know until 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 is taken, and one is left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Watch therefore: because you do not know on what day your Lord cometh. But know this, that if the landlord knew at what watch the thief cometh, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken into. Therefore be ye also ready: because the Son of man cometh in an hour at which you do not think.

And He departing out from the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, Teacher, behold, how great stones and how great buildings! And Jesus responding said to him, Do you see these great buildings? stone may not be left upon stone, which may not be thrown down. And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives in front of the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately, read more.
Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign when all these things may be about to have an end? And Jesus began to say to them, See, lest any one may deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. I And when you may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not disturbed: for it behooves it to be so; but the end is not yet. For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earth-quakes in divers places; and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of travails. But you take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you into councils; and will beat you in the synagogues: and you shall stand before governors and kings on account of me, for a testimony unto them. And it behooves the gospel first to be preached to all the nations. And when they may lead you forth, delivering you up, do not be solicitous what you may speak, nor meditate: but whatsoever may be given to you in that hour, speak this: for you are not those speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and the children will rise up against the parents, and put them to death. And you shall be hated by all on account of my name: but the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved. And when you may see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let him that readeth know), then let those in Judea fly to the mountains: and let not the one on the housetop come down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: and let not the one who is in the field turn back to take his garment. But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days. But pray that your flight may not be in the winter. For these days will be tribulation, such as has never been from the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never may be. And unless the Lord shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. And if then one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, Lo, there; believe not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders, to deceive even the elect, if possible. But you see: behold, I have foretold you all things. And in those days, after that desolation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars of heaven will be falling, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then He will send forth His angels, and will gather His elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth unto the extremity of heaven. But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branches may be now tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh. So you also, when you may see these things take place, know that it is already at the doors. Truly I say unto you, this race may not pass away, until all these things may be fulfilled.
Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign when all these things may be about to have an end? And Jesus began to say to them, See, lest any one may deceive you.

And certain ones speaking concerning the temple, that it was ornamented with beautiful stones and offerings, He said, These things which you see, the days will come, in which stone will not be left upon stone, which shall not be thrown down. And they asked Him, saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things may be about to come to pass? read more.
And He said, See that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and The time is at hand: go ye not after them. And when ye may hear of wars and commotions, be not affrighted: for it behooveth these things first to take place; but the end is not immediately. Then He said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in divers places; and there shall be great terrors and signs from heaven. And before all of these things, they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you into their synagogues and prisons, led before kings and governors on account of my name. And it shall come to pass to you for a testimony. Place it in your hearts, not to premeditate your defense: for I will give to you mouth and wisdom, which all who are opposed to you will not be able to gainsay nor resist. And you shall be delivered up also by your parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they will kill some of you. And you shall be hated by all, on account of my name: and not a hair from your head shall perish. In your patience gain your souls. And when you may see Jerusalem shut up by the armies, then know that her desolation is nigh. Then let those in Judea fly to the mountains; and let those in the midst of it depart out; and let not those in the country come into it. Because these are the days of vengeance, to fill up all things which have been written. But alas to those in gestation and nursing in those days! For there shall be great distress upon the earth, and wrath to this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles may be fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and commotion of the nations of the earth in their perplexity, the sea and the wave roaring; the souls of men failing from fear, and expectation of those things coming upon the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And these things beginning to take place, straighten up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption is nigh. And He spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees: when they may already put forth, seeing, know for yourselves that summer is nigh. So you also, when you see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is nigh. Truly I say unto you, that this race may not pass away, until all these things shall be fulfilled. But heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word can not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be burdened with luxury, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day may come on you unanticipated. For as a lasso it will come upon all the people who are sitting down upon the face of the whole earth. Therefore watch, praying all the time, that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Be you watchful, and strengthen the remaining things, which are about to die. For I have not found your works perfect before my God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
Watch therefore: because you do not know on what day your Lord cometh.

End of the world » What events signal the end of the world
Jesus having gone out departed from the temple, and His disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the temple. And responding, He said to them, Do you not see all these? Truly, I say unto you, that stone may not be left here upon stone, which shall not be thrown down. And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives; the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the age? read more.
And Jesus responding said to them, See, lest any one may deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and they will deceive many. And you will be about to hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not disturbed: for it behooveth all these things to be, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. And all these things are the beginning of travails. Then they will deliver you into tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name, and then many will be offended; and they will betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and deceive many. And because iniquity doth abound, the divine love of many will grow cold. But the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end shall come. Then when you may see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth know), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains: and let him who is on the housetop not come down to take things out of his house: and let not the one in the field turn back to take his garment. But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days. But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even until now nor ever may be. And if those days were not shortened, no life would be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or, there: believe him not: for false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive even the elect, if possible. Behold, I have foretold you. Therefore if they may say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not out: Behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning comes from the east, and shines even unto the west; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For where the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. And immediately, after the desolation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the heaven: and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather His elect out of the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens, unto the extremities of the same. But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branch may now be tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh. So you also, when you may see all these things know that it is at the doors. Truly I say unto you, This race may not pass away until all these things may be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words can not pass away. Concerning that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels of the heavens, except my Father only. But as were the days of Noah, so indeed shall be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and they did not know until 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 is taken, and one is left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Watch therefore: because you do not know on what day your Lord cometh. But know this, that if the landlord knew at what watch the thief cometh, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken into. Therefore be ye also ready: because the Son of man cometh in an hour at which you do not think.
And Jesus responding said to them, See, lest any one may deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and they will deceive many. And you will be about to hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not disturbed: for it behooveth all these things to be, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. And all these things are the beginning of travails. Then they will deliver you into tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name, and then many will be offended; and they will betray one another, and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and deceive many. And because iniquity doth abound, the divine love of many will grow cold. But the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end shall come. Then when you may see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth know), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains: and let him who is on the housetop not come down to take things out of his house: and let not the one in the field turn back to take his garment. But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days. But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even until now nor ever may be. And if those days were not shortened, no life would be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or, there: believe him not: for false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive even the elect, if possible. Behold, I have foretold you. Therefore if they may say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not out: Behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning comes from the east, and shines even unto the west; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. For where the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

And He departing out from the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, Teacher, behold, how great stones and how great buildings! And Jesus responding said to him, Do you see these great buildings? stone may not be left upon stone, which may not be thrown down. And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives in front of the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately, read more.
Tell us, when these things shall be? and what shall be the sign when all these things may be about to have an end? And Jesus began to say to them, See, lest any one may deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. I And when you may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not disturbed: for it behooves it to be so; but the end is not yet. For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earth-quakes in divers places; and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of travails. But you take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you into councils; and will beat you in the synagogues: and you shall stand before governors and kings on account of me, for a testimony unto them. And it behooves the gospel first to be preached to all the nations. And when they may lead you forth, delivering you up, do not be solicitous what you may speak, nor meditate: but whatsoever may be given to you in that hour, speak this: for you are not those speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and the children will rise up against the parents, and put them to death. And you shall be hated by all on account of my name: but the one persevering to the end, the same shall be saved. And when you may see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let him that readeth know), then let those in Judea fly to the mountains: and let not the one on the housetop come down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: and let not the one who is in the field turn back to take his garment. But alas unto those who are in gestation and nursing in those days. But pray that your flight may not be in the winter. For these days will be tribulation, such as has never been from the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never may be. And unless the Lord shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. And if then one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, Lo, there; believe not. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders, to deceive even the elect, if possible. But you see: behold, I have foretold you all things. And in those days, after that desolation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars of heaven will be falling, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then He will send forth His angels, and will gather His elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth unto the extremity of heaven. But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when her branches may be now tender, and she may grow out leaves, know that the summer is nigh. So you also, when you may see these things take place, know that it is already at the doors. Truly I say unto you, this race may not pass away, until all these things may be fulfilled.

And certain ones speaking concerning the temple, that it was ornamented with beautiful stones and offerings, He said, These things which you see, the days will come, in which stone will not be left upon stone, which shall not be thrown down. And they asked Him, saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things may be about to come to pass? read more.
And He said, See that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and The time is at hand: go ye not after them. And when ye may hear of wars and commotions, be not affrighted: for it behooveth these things first to take place; but the end is not immediately. Then He said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in divers places; and there shall be great terrors and signs from heaven. And before all of these things, they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you into their synagogues and prisons, led before kings and governors on account of my name. And it shall come to pass to you for a testimony. Place it in your hearts, not to premeditate your defense: for I will give to you mouth and wisdom, which all who are opposed to you will not be able to gainsay nor resist. And you shall be delivered up also by your parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they will kill some of you. And you shall be hated by all, on account of my name: and not a hair from your head shall perish. In your patience gain your souls. And when you may see Jerusalem shut up by the armies, then know that her desolation is nigh. Then let those in Judea fly to the mountains; and let those in the midst of it depart out; and let not those in the country come into it. Because these are the days of vengeance, to fill up all things which have been written. But alas to those in gestation and nursing in those days! For there shall be great distress upon the earth, and wrath to this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles may be fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and commotion of the nations of the earth in their perplexity, the sea and the wave roaring; the souls of men failing from fear, and expectation of those things coming upon the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And these things beginning to take place, straighten up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption is nigh. And He spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees: when they may already put forth, seeing, know for yourselves that summer is nigh. So you also, when you see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is nigh. Truly I say unto you, that this race may not pass away, until all these things shall be fulfilled. But heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word can not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be burdened with luxury, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day may come on you unanticipated. For as a lasso it will come upon all the people who are sitting down upon the face of the whole earth. Therefore watch, praying all the time, that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
