| 3As He was sitting on the Mount of
Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when
will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your
coming, and of the end of the age?" 4 And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. 5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. 6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. 8 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. 9 "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10 "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. 11 "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. 12 "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. 13 "But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. 14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. 15 "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 "Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18 "Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19 "But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 22 "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. 24 "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. 25 "Behold, I have told you in advance. 26 "So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them. 27 "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 "Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. 29 "But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31 "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. 32 "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33 so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. 34 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. 36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37 "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 "Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 "Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. 42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43 "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44 "For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. |
4"Tell us, when will these things
be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going
to be fulfilled?" 5 And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. 6 "Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He!' and will mislead many. 7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. 8 "For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. 9 "But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. 10 "The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 "When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. 12 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. 14 "But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 "The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house; 16 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 17 "But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 "But pray that it may not happen in the winter. 19 "For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will. 20 "Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. 21 "And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe him; 22 for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 "But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance. 24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, 25 AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. 26 "Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory. 27 "And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven. 28 "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 "Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door. 30 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. 32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 33 "Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come. 34 "It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. 35 "Therefore, be on the alert--for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning-- 36 in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 "What I say to you I say to all, 'Be on the alert!' "

7 They questioned Him, saying, "Teacher,
when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the
sign when these things are about to take place?" 8 And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them. 9 "When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately." 10 Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. 12 "But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake. 13 "It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. 14 "So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; 15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. 16 "But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, 17 and you will be hated by all because of My name. 18 "Yet not a hair of your head will perish. 19 "By your endurance you will gain your lives. 20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. 21 "Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; 22 because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. 23 "Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people; 24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 25 "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 "Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory. 28 "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." 29 Then He told them a parable: "Behold the fig tree and all the trees; 30 as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near. 31 "So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. 32 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place. 33 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. 34 "Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; 35 for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 "But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Signs of the End of
the Age
3 While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached Him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Then Jesus replied to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many. 6 You are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, because these things must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these events are the beginning of birth pains. Persecutions Predicted 9 “Then
they will hand you over for persecution,
and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of My
name. 10 Then
many will take offense, betray one another and hate one another. 11 Many
false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 Because
lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But
the one who endures to the end will be delivered. 14 This
good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world
as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will come.
The Great Tribulation 15 “So
when you see the
abomination that causes desolation,
spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place”
(let the reader understand ),
16 “then
those in Judea must flee to the mountains! 17 A
man on the housetop
must not come down to get things out of his house. 18 And
a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes. 19 Woe
to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! 20 Pray
that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For
at that time there will be great tribulation, the kind that hasn’t
taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will
again! 22 Unless
those days were limited, no one would
survive.
But those days will be limited because of the elect. 23 “If
anyone tells you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Over here!’ do
not believe it! 24 False
messiahs
and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to
lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Take
note: I have told you in advance. 26 So
if they tell you, ‘Look, he’s in the wilderness!’ don’t go out; ‘Look,
he’s in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For
as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so
will be the coming of the Son
of Man. 28 Wherever
the carcass is, there the vultures
will gather.
The Coming of the Son of Man 29
“Immediately after the
tribulation of
those days: The
sun will be darkened, and
the moon will not shed its light; the
stars will fall from the sky, and
the celestial powers will be shaken. 30 “Then
the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the
peoples of the earth
will mourn;
and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory. 31 He
will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His
elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
The Parable of the Fig Tree 32 “Now
learn this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes
tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 In
the same way, when you see all these things, recognize
that He
is near--at the door! 34 I
assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all
these things take place. 35 Heaven
and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour 36 “Now
concerning that day and hour no one knows--neither the angels in
heaven,
nor the Son --except
the Father only. 37 As
the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. 38 For
in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying
and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. 39 They
didn’t know
until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the
coming of the Son of Man will be: 40 Then
two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left. 41 Two
women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore
be alert, since you don’t know what day
your Lord is coming. 43 But
know this: If the homeowner had known what time
the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house
be broken into. 44 This
is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an
hour you do not expect.
|
Signs of the End of the Age 3 While
He was sitting on the Mount
of Olives across from the temple complex, Peter, James, John,
and Andrew asked Him privately, 4 “Tell
us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all
these things are about to take place?” 5 Then
Jesus began by telling them: “Watch
out that no one deceives you. 6 Many
will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they will deceive many. 7 When
you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed; these things
must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For
nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There
will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.
These are the beginning of birth pains.
Persecutions Predicted 9 “But
you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to sanhedrins,
and you will be flogged in the synagogues.
You will stand before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness
to them. 10 And
the good news
must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 So
when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you
will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour—say
it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. 12 Then
brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children
will rise up against parents and put them to death. 13 And
you will be hated by everyone because of My name. But the one who
endures to the end will be delivered.
The Great Tribulation 14 “When
you see the abomination
that causes desolation
standing where it should not” (let the reader understand), “then
those in Judea must flee to the mountains! 15 A
man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of
his house. 16 And
a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes. 17 Woe
to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! 18 Pray
it
won't happen in winter. 19 For
those will be days of tribulation, the kind that hasn’t been from the
beginning of the world,
which God created, until now and never will be again! 20 Unless
the Lord limited those days, no one would survive.
But He limited those days because of the elect, whom He chose.
21 “Then
if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!
Look—there!’ do not believe it! 22 For
false messiahs
and false prophets will rise up and will perform signs and wonders to
lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 And
you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.
The Coming of the Son of Man 24 “But
in those days, after that tribulation: The
sun will be darkened, and
the moon will not shed its light; 25 the
stars will be falling from the sky, and
the celestial powers will be shaken. 26 Then
they will see the Son
of Man coming in clouds
with great power and glory. 27 He
will send out the angels and gather His elect from the four winds, from
the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
The Parable of the Fig Tree 28 “Learn
this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender
and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 In
the same way, when you see these things happening, know
that He
is near—at the door! 30 I
assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until
all these things take place. 31 Heaven
and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour 32 “Now
concerning that day or hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven
nor the Son—except the Father. 33 Watch!
Be alert!
For you don’t know when the time is [coming] . 34 It
is like a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his slaves,
gave each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to be alert. 35 Therefore
be alert, since you don’t know when the master of the house is
coming—whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the
rooster or early in the morning. 36 Otherwise,
he might come suddenly and find you sleeping. 37 And
what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert!”
|
Signs of the End of the Age 7 “Teacher,”
they asked Him, “so when will these things be? And what will be the
sign when these things are about to take place?” 8 Then
He said, “Watch
out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying,
‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Don’t follow them. 9 When
you hear of wars and rebellions,
don’t be alarmed. Indeed, these things must take place first, but the
end won’t come right away.” 10 Then
He told them: “Nation
will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There
will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places,
and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven.
12 But
before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute
you. They will hand you over to the synagogues
and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because
of My name. 13 It
will lead to an opportunity for you to witness. 14 Therefore
make up your minds
not to prepare your defense ahead of time, 15 for
I will give you such words
and a wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or
contradict. 16 You
will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends.
They will kill some of you. 17 You
will be hated by everyone because of My name, 18 but
not a hair of your head will be lost. 19 By
your endurance gain
your lives.
The Destruction of Jerusalem 20 “When
you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that its
desolation has come near. 21 Then
those in Judea must flee to the mountains! Those inside the city
must leave it, and those who are in the country must not enter it,
22 because
these are days of vengeance to fulfill all the things that are written.
23 Woe
to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for there will be
great distress in the land
and wrath against this people. 24 They
will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the
nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
The Coming of the Son of Man 25 “Then
there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be
anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and
waves. 26 People
will faint from fear and expectation of the things that are coming on
the world, because the celestial powers will be shaken. 27 Then
they will see the Son
of Man coming in a cloud
with power and great glory. 28 But
when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads,
because your redemption is near!”
The Parable of the Fig Tree 29 Then
He told them a parable: “Look
at the fig tree, and all the trees. 30 As
soon as they put out [leaves] you can see for yourselves and recognize
that summer is already near. 31 In
the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize
that the kingdom of God is near. 32 I
assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until
all things take place. 33 Heaven
and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
The Need for Watchfulness 34 “Be
on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled
from carousing,
drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you
unexpectedly 35 like
a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth.
36 But
be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to
escape all these things that are going to take place and to stand
before the Son of Man.”
