Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Coming of the lord
And we ask you, brethren, concerning the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our assembling together to him, For you not to be quickly shaken in mind, neither be disturbed, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by epistle as by us, as that the day of Christ has drawn near. Let none deceive you in any manner: for, except an apostasy come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; read more.
Who being opposed and lifted up above all called God, or which is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, yet being with you, I spake these to you And now ye know the withholding for him to be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity is already energetic: only he withholding, even till he be out of the midst. And then shall the Lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the spirit of his mouth, and leave unemployed in the splendor of his arrival: Whose arrival is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, And in all deceit of iniquity in the lost; because they received not the love of the truth, for them to be saved. And for this, God shall send them the energy of error, for them to believe in falsehood: That all might be judged not believing the truth but contented in iniquity.

And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened. And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name. And then shall many be offended, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall be raised up, and deceive many. And because anxiety shall increase, the love of many shall be cooled. But he having persevered to the end, this shall be saved. And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole habitable globe for a witness to all nations: and then shall the end come. Therefore, when ye see the abomination of devastation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him reading, understand:) Then let them in Judea flee to the mountain; He upon the house-tops, let him not come down to take away anything out of his house: And he in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments: And woe to those having in the womb, and to those giving suck, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor in the sabbath. For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened. Then if any say to you, Behold, here Christ, or there; believe ye not. For false Christs, and false prophets, shall be raised up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. Behold, I have told you beforehand. If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; Behold, in the store-houses, believe ye not. For as the lightning comes forth from the sunrisings, and shines to the descents; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. For wherever be the fall, there will the eagles be gathered together. And quickly after the pressure of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities. And from the fig tree learn a parable; When already her young shoot should be tender, and the leaves should spring forth, ye know that summer is near: So also ye, when ye should see all these things, know ye that it is near at the doors. Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be. The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away. And concerning that day and hour, none know, nor the messengers of the heavens, except my Father only. And as the days of Noe, so shall be the arrival of the Son of man. For as they were in the days of the inundation, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noe came into the ark, And knew not till the inundation came, and took them all away; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. Then shall be two in the field; one shall be taken, and one is let go; Two grinding in the mill; one shall be taken, and one let go. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and would not have suffered his house to be undermined. Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.

Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.
And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved. And when ye see the abomination of desolation, that spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him reading understand,) then let them in Judea flee to the mountains: And he upon the house, let him not come down into the house, nor let him come in, to take any thing away out of his house: And he being in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garment. And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not of winter. For those days shall be pressure, such as there has not been from beginning of creation which God created till now, and should not be. And except the Lord shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days. And if any say to you, Behold, here Christ; or, behold, there; believe ye not: For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall give signs and wonders, to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. But see ye; behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that pressure, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall be falling out, and the powers which in the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory. And then shall he send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from extremity of earth to extremity of heaven. And from the fig tree learn ye a parable; When its young shoot be tender, and cause the leaves to grow, ye know that summer is near. So also ye, when ye see these things done, ye know that it is near at the door. Truly I say to you, that this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray.

And then shall he send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from extremity of earth to extremity of heaven.

So also ye, when ye see these things done, ye know that it is near at the door. Truly I say to you, that this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be.
And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake. And there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its devastation has drawn near. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountain; and those in the midst of her withdraw; and let those in the countries not go into her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things having been written, should be completed. And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people. And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and they shall be made captives in all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by all the nations, till the times of the nations should be completed. And signs shall be in the sun, and moon, and stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and commotion resounding. Men losing breath for fear and expectation of things coming on the habitable globe: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with much power and glory. And these things beginning to be, get out of danger, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And he spake to them a parable; See the fig tree, and all trees; When they should already throw forth, seeing of yourselves ye know that summer is already near. So also ye, when ye see these being, know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, even till all things should be. Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away. And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly. For as a snare shall it come upon all remaining upon the face of all, the earth. Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven.

Coming of the lord jesus Christ » When the lord will come
And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write: Thus says he having the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead: Be watching, and make firm the remaining things, which are about to die: For I have not found thy works perfected before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and do thou, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I shall come upon thee.
Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and would not have suffered his house to be undermined. Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes. read more.
Who then is the faithful and discerning servant, which his lord set over his attendance, to give them food in due season Happy that servant which his lord, having come, shall find doing thus. Truly I say to you, That he shall set him over all his possessions. But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays to come; And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated; The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, And he shall cut him in two equal parts, and he shall set his portion with the hypocrites: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And as the days of Noe, so shall be the arrival of the Son of man.

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all. And likewise as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; read more.
And the day which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all. According to these shall be the day in which the Son of man is revealed. In that day, whoever shall be upon the house, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he in the fields, likewise let him not turn back behind. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever should seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it alive. I say to you, that night shall be two upon one bed; one shall be taken, and the other let go. Two females shall be grinding together; one shall be taken, and the other let go.

End of the world » What events signal the end of the world
And Jesus having gone out, went out of the temple: and his disciples came near to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened. And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name. And then shall many be offended, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall be raised up, and deceive many. And because anxiety shall increase, the love of many shall be cooled. But he having persevered to the end, this shall be saved. And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole habitable globe for a witness to all nations: and then shall the end come. Therefore, when ye see the abomination of devastation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him reading, understand:) Then let them in Judea flee to the mountain; He upon the house-tops, let him not come down to take away anything out of his house: And he in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments: And woe to those having in the womb, and to those giving suck, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor in the sabbath. For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened. Then if any say to you, Behold, here Christ, or there; believe ye not. For false Christs, and false prophets, shall be raised up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. Behold, I have told you beforehand. If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; Behold, in the store-houses, believe ye not. For as the lightning comes forth from the sunrisings, and shines to the descents; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. For wherever be the fall, there will the eagles be gathered together. And quickly after the pressure of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities. And from the fig tree learn a parable; When already her young shoot should be tender, and the leaves should spring forth, ye know that summer is near: So also ye, when ye should see all these things, know ye that it is near at the doors. Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be. The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away. And concerning that day and hour, none know, nor the messengers of the heavens, except my Father only. And as the days of Noe, so shall be the arrival of the Son of man. For as they were in the days of the inundation, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noe came into the ark, And knew not till the inundation came, and took them all away; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. Then shall be two in the field; one shall be taken, and one is let go; Two grinding in the mill; one shall be taken, and one let go. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and would not have suffered his house to be undermined. Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.
And Jesus having answered, said to them, See lest any lead you astray. For many shall come upon my name, saying, I am Christ; and deceive many. And ye will be about to hear of wars and rumors of war: see, be not terrified; for all must be, but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and plagues, and shakings in places. And all these the beginning of anguish. Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name. And then shall many be offended, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall be raised up, and deceive many. And because anxiety shall increase, the love of many shall be cooled. But he having persevered to the end, this shall be saved. And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole habitable globe for a witness to all nations: and then shall the end come. Therefore, when ye see the abomination of devastation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him reading, understand:) Then let them in Judea flee to the mountain; He upon the house-tops, let him not come down to take away anything out of his house: And he in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments: And woe to those having in the womb, and to those giving suck, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor in the sabbath. For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened. Then if any say to you, Behold, here Christ, or there; believe ye not. For false Christs, and false prophets, shall be raised up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. Behold, I have told you beforehand. If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; Behold, in the store-houses, believe ye not. For as the lightning comes forth from the sunrisings, and shines to the descents; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. For wherever be the fall, there will the eagles be gathered together. And quickly after the pressure of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities. And from the fig tree learn a parable; When already her young shoot should be tender, and the leaves should spring forth, ye know that summer is near: So also ye, when ye should see all these things, know ye that it is near at the doors. Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be. The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away.

Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.
And he going out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see of what country the stones, and of what country the buildings! And Jesus having answered, said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? stone upon stone shall not be left which shall not be loosed. And he sitting in the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart, read more.
Say to us, when shall be these things? and what the sign when all these be about to be finished? And Jesus having answered began to say to them, See ye lest any should lead you astray: For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray. And when ye hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not terrified: for it must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in places, and there shall be famines, and commotions: these the beginnings of anguish. And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them. And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when delivering up, they bring you, take no care beforehand what ye speak, neither bestow attention: but whatever should be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for not ye are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents, and kill them. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake: and he having remained to the end, the same shall be saved. And when ye see the abomination of desolation, that spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him reading understand,) then let them in Judea flee to the mountains: And he upon the house, let him not come down into the house, nor let him come in, to take any thing away out of his house: And he being in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garment. And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not of winter. For those days shall be pressure, such as there has not been from beginning of creation which God created till now, and should not be. And except the Lord shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days. And if any say to you, Behold, here Christ; or, behold, there; believe ye not: For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall give signs and wonders, to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. But see ye; behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that pressure, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall be falling out, and the powers which in the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory. And then shall he send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from extremity of earth to extremity of heaven. And from the fig tree learn ye a parable; When its young shoot be tender, and cause the leaves to grow, ye know that summer is near. So also ye, when ye see these things done, ye know that it is near at the door. Truly I say to you, that this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be.

And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake. And there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its devastation has drawn near. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountain; and those in the midst of her withdraw; and let those in the countries not go into her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things having been written, should be completed. And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people. And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and they shall be made captives in all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by all the nations, till the times of the nations should be completed. And signs shall be in the sun, and moon, and stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and commotion resounding. Men losing breath for fear and expectation of things coming on the habitable globe: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with much power and glory. And these things beginning to be, get out of danger, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And he spake to them a parable; See the fig tree, and all trees; When they should already throw forth, seeing of yourselves ye know that summer is already near. So also ye, when ye see these being, know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, even till all things should be. Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away. And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly. For as a snare shall it come upon all remaining upon the face of all, the earth. Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately.

And sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him apart, saying, Say to us when these shall be, and what the sign of thy arrival, and the termination of the time.
