Matthew:24:1-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
Jesus coming forth ,
from the temple ,
was taking his departure ,
when his disciples came forward to point out to him the buildings of the temple .
*
But ,
he ,
answering ,
said unto them Are ye not beholding all these things ?
Verily ,
I say unto youin no wise ,
shall there be left here ,
stone upon stone ,
which shall not be thrown down .
*
And ,
as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives ,
the disciples came unto him ,
privately ,
saying Tell us ,
when these things shall be ,
and what the sign of thy presence ,
and the conclusion of the age .
*
And ,
answering ,
Jesus said unto them Be taking heed ,
lest anyone ,
deceive ,
you ;
*
For ,
many ,
will come upon my name ,
saying I ,
am the Christ ,
and will ,
deceive many .
*
Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars ,
and rumours of wars :
Mind !
be not alarmed ,
for it must needs happen ,
but ,
not yet ,
is ,
the end ;
*
For there will arisenation against nation ,
and kingdom against kingdom ,
and there will be famines and earthquakes ,
in places .
*
But ,
all these things ,
are a beginning of birth-pangs .
*
Then ,
will they deliver you up into tribulation ,
and will slay you ,
and ye will be men hated by all the nations ,
because of my name
*
And ,
then ,
will many be caused to stumble ,
and ,
one another ,
will deliver up ,
and will hate one another ;
*
And ,
many false prophets ,
will arise ,
and deceive ,
many ;
*
And ,
because of lawlessness being brought to the full ,
the love of the many ,
will grew cold .
*
But ,
he that hath endured throughout ,
the same ,
shall be saved .
*
And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth ,
for a witness unto all the nations ,
and ,
then ,
will have come ,
the end .
*
Whensoever ,
therefore ,
ye shall see the abomination desolation ,
that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet ,
standing in a holy place ,
he that readeth ,
let him think ,
*
Then ,
they who are in Judaea ,
let them flee into the mountains ;
*
And ,
he that is on the house-top ,
let him not come down ,
to take away the things out of his house ;
*
And ,
he that is in the field ,
let him not turn back ,
to take away his mantle .
*
But alas !
for the women with child ,
and for them that are giving suck ,
in those days ;
*
But be praying that your flight ,
may not happen in winter ,
nor on sabbath ;
*
For there will be then ,
Great tribulation ,
such as hath not happened ,
from the beginning of the world ,
until the present time ,
neither in any wise shall happen .
*
And ,
except those days had been shortened ,
no flesh had been saved ;
but ,
for the sake of the chosen ,
those days shall be shortened .
*
Then ,
if any ,
unto you ,
say Lo !
here ,
is the Christ ,
or ,
there ,
Do not believe it ;
*
For there will arise ,
false Christs ,
and false prophets ,
and they will show great signs and wonders ,
so that ,
if possible ,
even the chosen ,
should be deceived :
*
Lo !
I have foretold you .
*
If therefore they should say unto you ,
Lo !
in the desert ,
he is ,
Do not go forth ;
Lo !
in the chambers ,
Do not believe it .
*
For ,
just as the lightning goeth forth from the east ,
and shineth unto the west ,
so ,
shall be the presence of the Son of Man .
*
Wheresoever ,
the corpse ,
shall be ,
there ,
shall be gathered ,
the vultures !
*
But ,
straightway after the tribulation of those days ,
the sun ,
will be darkened ,
and ,
the moon ,
will not give her brightness ,
and ,
the stars ,
will fall from heaven ,
and ,
the powers of the heavens ,
will be shaken ;
*
And ,
then ,
will be displayed The sign of the Son of Man in heaven ,
and ,
then ,
will smite their breastsall the tribes of the earth ;
and they will see the Son of Mancoming upon the clouds of heaven ,
with great power and glory .
*
And he will send forth his messengers ,
with a great trumpet ,
and they will gather together his chosen Out of the four winds ,
from heavens bounds ,
unto their bounds .
*
Now ,
from the fig-tree ,
learn ye ,
the parable :
When ,
already ,
her young branch ,
becometh tender ,
and the leaves ,
may be sprouting ,
ye observe ,
that ,
near ,
is ,
the summer :
*
Thus ,
ye also ,
when ye shall see all these things ,
observe ye ,
that ,
near ,
he is ,
at the doors .
*
Verily ,
I say unto you In nowise ,
shall this generation ,
pass away ,
until all these things ,
shall happen :
*
The heaven and the earth ,
shall pass away ,
but ,
my words ,
shall ,
in nowise ,
pass away .
