Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Coming of the lord
Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled together unto him, that ye be not easily shaken in mind, nor troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as if the day of the Lord were close at hand. Let no one deceive you in any manner; for [that day will not come] unless the apostasy shall have come first and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition; read more.
he that opposeth and exalteth himself above every one that is called God, or worthy of worship, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself to be God. Do ye not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what restraineth, in order that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who now restraineth, until he be taken out of the way; and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming; [he,] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood, and in all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the falsehood; that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

And Jesus went out, and was going from the temple; and his disciples came to him, to show him the buildings of the temple. And he answering said to them, See ye not all these? Truly do I say to you, There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. And as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the signs of thy coming, and of the end of the world? read more.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many. And ye are to hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for these things must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in divers places. But all these things are the beginning of travailpains. Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name. And then will many fall away; and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of the many will wax cold. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. And these glad tidings of the kingdom will be published throughout the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end. When, therefore, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand,) then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down to take away the things belonging to his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath. For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be. And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these days will be shortened. Then if any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not. For there will rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived. Lo! I have told you beforehand. If therefore they say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the distress of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. And from the figtree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that summer is near. So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors. Truly do I say to you, This generation will not pass away, till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. But as were the days of Noah, so will 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, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and knew not, until the flood came, and took them all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of man. Then will two men be in the field; one will be taken, and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one left. Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Teacher, see! what stones, and what buildings! And Jesus said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, read more.
Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? And Jesus began to say to them, See that no one deceive you. Many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. And when ye hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be not troubled; they must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in divers places; there will be famines. These things are the beginning of travailpains. But do ye take heed to yourselves; they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be taken into synagogues and beaten; and ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. And the glad tidings must first be published to all the nations. And when they lead you away to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand as to what ye shall speak; but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will rise up against parents, and put them to death. And ye will be hated by all on account of my name. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not,let him that readeth understand,then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down, nor enter, to take anything out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that it may not be in winter. For those days will be a time of distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, nor shall be. And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days. And then if any one shall say to you, See! here is the Christ; see! there; believe him not. For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and will do signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the chosen. But do ye take heed! I have told you all beforehand. But in those days, after that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then will he send forth the angels, and will gather the chosen ones from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. And from the figtree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that summer is near.

And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and sacred gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be throw down. And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when then will these things be? and what will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? read more.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He, and the time is at hand. Go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but not immediately is the end. Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there will 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, and bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name. It will turn out to you an opportunity for bearing testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate l beforehand what ye shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay. And ye will be delivered up both by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends; and some of you will they put to death. And ye will be hated by all on account of my name. But not a hair of your head will be lost. By your constancy secure your lives. But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are within the city go out of it, and let not those in the open country enter it. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to the women with child, and to those having children at the breast, in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves; mens hearts failing them from fear, and from looking for those things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the figtree and all the trees; when they have already shot forth, ye see it, and know of yourselves that summer is now nigh at hand. So also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Truly do I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, till all shall have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with surfeiting and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare will it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times, and pray that ye may be able to escape all the things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and keep those things, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come upon thee.
Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.

But if the bad servant say in his heart, My lord is tarrying long; and begin to beat his fellowservants, and eat and drink with the drunken, the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for it, and at an hour when he is not aware; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Truly do I say to you, There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. And as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the signs of thy coming, and of the end of the world? read more.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many. And ye are to hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for these things must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in divers places. But all these things are the beginning of travailpains. Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name. And then will many fall away; and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of the many will wax cold. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. And these glad tidings of the kingdom will be published throughout the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end. When, therefore, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand,) then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down to take away the things belonging to his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath. For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be. And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these days will be shortened. Then if any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not. For there will rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived. Lo! I have told you beforehand. If therefore they say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the distress of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. And from the figtree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that summer is near. So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors. Truly do I say to you, This generation will not pass away, till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. But as were the days of Noah, so will 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, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and knew not, until the flood came, and took them all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of man. Then will two men be in the field; one will be taken, and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one left. Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one deceive you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many. And ye are to hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for these things must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in divers places. But all these things are the beginning of travailpains. Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name.

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Teacher, see! what stones, and what buildings! And Jesus said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down. And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, read more.
Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? And Jesus began to say to them, See that no one deceive you. Many will come in my name, saying, I am He; and will deceive many. And when ye hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be not troubled; they must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in divers places; there will be famines. These things are the beginning of travailpains. But do ye take heed to yourselves; they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be taken into synagogues and beaten; and ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. And the glad tidings must first be published to all the nations. And when they lead you away to deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand as to what ye shall speak; but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children will rise up against parents, and put them to death. And ye will be hated by all on account of my name. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not,let him that readeth understand,then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down, nor enter, to take anything out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that it may not be in winter. For those days will be a time of distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, nor shall be. And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days. And then if any one shall say to you, See! here is the Christ; see! there; believe him not. For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and will do signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the chosen. But do ye take heed! I have told you all beforehand. But in those days, after that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then will he send forth the angels, and will gather the chosen ones from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. And from the figtree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that summer is near.

And then will he send forth the angels, and will gather the chosen ones from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

And as some were saying of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and sacred gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be throw down. And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when then will these things be? and what will be the sign when these things are about to come to pass? read more.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He, and the time is at hand. Go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but not immediately is the end. Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there will 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, and bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name. It will turn out to you an opportunity for bearing testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate l beforehand what ye shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or gainsay. And ye will be delivered up both by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends; and some of you will they put to death. And ye will be hated by all on account of my name. But not a hair of your head will be lost. By your constancy secure your lives. But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those who are within the city go out of it, and let not those in the open country enter it. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to the women with child, and to those having children at the breast, in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the gentiles, until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled. And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and waves; mens hearts failing them from fear, and from looking for those things which are coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the figtree and all the trees; when they have already shot forth, ye see it, and know of yourselves that summer is now nigh at hand. So also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Truly do I say to you, that this generation will not pass away, till all shall have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with surfeiting and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare will it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times, and pray that ye may be able to escape all the things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, I am He, and the time is at hand. Go not after them.

And ye are to hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled; for these things must come to pass; but not yet is the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in divers places. But all these things are the beginning of travailpains. Then will they deliver you up to distress, and will kill you; and ye will be hated by all nations on account of my name. And then will many fall away; and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of the many will wax cold. But he that endureth to the end will be saved. And these glad tidings of the kingdom will be published throughout the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end. When, therefore, ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him that readeth understand,) then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; let not him that is on the housetop go down to take away the things belonging to his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to the women with child, and to those with children at the breast, in those days! And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath. For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be. And were not those days to shortened, no flesh would be saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, these days will be shortened. Then if any one say to you, Lo! here is the Christ; or there, believe him not. For there will rise up false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen will be deceived. Lo! I have told you beforehand. If therefore they say to you, Lo! he is in the wilderness; go not forth; lo! he is in the private chambers; believe them not. For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the distress of those days will the sun be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and will see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. And from the figtree learn its parable. When its branch hath now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that summer is near. So also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is near, at the doors. Truly do I say to you, This generation will not pass away, till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. But as were the days of Noah, so will 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, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and knew not, until the flood came, and took them all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of man. Then will two men be in the field; one will be taken, and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one left. Watch, therefore, for ye know not on what day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not, the Son of man cometh. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord placed over his household, to give them their food in due season? Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. Truly do I say to you, that he will place him in charge of all his substance. But if the bad servant say in his heart, My lord is tarrying long; and begin to beat his fellowservants, and eat and drink with the drunken, the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for it, and at an hour when he is not aware; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said also to this servant, And be thou over five cities. And another came, saying, Lord, behold thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin. For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow. He saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow; why then didst thou not put my money into a bank? Then I at my coming might have received it back with interest. And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds. (And they said to him, He hath ten pounds, Lord.) I say to you, that to every one who hath, will be given; but from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away. But as for those enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me.
