Matthew:24:1-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jesus went out ,
and departed from the temple :
and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple .
*
And Jesus said unto them ,
See ye not all these things ?
verily I say unto you ,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another ,
that shall not be thrown down .
*
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives ,
the disciples came unto him privately ,
saying ,
Tell us ,
when shall these things be ?
and what shall be the sign of thy coming ,
and of the end of the world ?
*
And Jesus answered and said unto them ,
Take heed that no man deceive you .
*
For many shall come in my name ,
saying ,
I am Christ ;
and shall deceive many .
*
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars :
see that ye be not troubled :
for all these things must come to pass ,
but the end is not yet .
*
For nation shall rise against nation ,
and kingdom against kingdom :
and there shall be famines ,
and pestilences ,
and earthquakes ,
in divers places .
*
All these are the beginning of sorrows .
*
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted ,
and shall kill you :
and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name '
s sake .
*
And then shall many be offended ,
and shall betray one another ,
and shall hate one another .
*
And many false prophets shall rise ,
and shall deceive many .
*
And because iniquity shall abound ,
the love of many shall wax cold .
*
But he that shall endure unto the end ,
the same shall be saved .
*
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations ;
and then shall the end come .
*
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation ,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet ,
stand in the holy place , (
whoso readeth ,
let him understand :)
*
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains :
*
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house :
*
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes .
*
And woe unto them that are with child ,
and to them that give suck in those days !
*
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter ,
neither on the sabbath day :
*
For then shall be great tribulation ,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time ,
no ,
nor ever shall be .
*
And except those days should be shortened ,
there should no flesh be saved :
but for the elect '
s sake those days shall be shortened .
*
Then if any man shall say unto you ,
Lo ,
here is Christ ,
or there ;
believe it not .
*
For there shall arise false Christs ,
and false prophets ,
and shall shew great signs and wonders ;
insomuch that ,
if it were possible ,
they shall deceive the very elect .
*
Behold ,
I have told you before .
*
Wherefore if they shall say unto you ,
Behold ,
he is in the desert ;
go not forth :
behold ,
he is in the secret chambers ;
believe it not .
