Signs of Christ’s Return

1 aJesus° bcame° out from the temple° and was going° away° Iwhen° His disciples° came° up to point° out the temple° buildings° to Him. 2 And He said° to them, “Do you not see° all° these° things°? Truly° I say° to you, anot one stone° here° will be left° upon another°, which° will not be torn° down°.”

4 ¶ And Jesus° answered° and said° to them, aSee° to it that no° one° misleads° you. 5 For amany° will come° in My name°, saying°, ‘I am° the IChrist°,’ and will mislead° many°. 6 You will° be hearing° of awars° 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 anation° will rise° against° nation°, and kingdom° against° kingdom°, and in various° places° there will be bfamines° and earthquakes°. 8 aBut all° these° things° are [merely] the beginning° of birth° pangs°.

9aThen° they will deliver° you to tribulation°, and will kill° you, and byou will be hated° by all° nations° because° of My name°. 10 At that time° many° will Iafall° away° and will IIbetray° one° another° and hate° one° another°. 11 Many° afalse° prophets° will arise° and will mislead° many°. 12 Because° lawlessness° is increased°, Imost° people’s° love° will grow° cold°. 13 aBut the one who endures° to the end°, he will be saved°. 14 This° agospel° of the kingdom° bshall be preached° in the whole° Icworld° as a testimony° to all° the nations°, and then° the end° will come°.

Christ foretelleth the destruction of the Temple:

1 ¶ Andº Jesusº went out,ºª and departedºª fromº the² temple:º andº hisº disciplesº cameºª to [him] for to shewºª himº the² buildingsº of the² temple.º 2 Andº Jesusº saidºª unto them,º See² ye¹ªª notº allº these things?º verilyº I sayºª unto you,º There shall¹ª notº be leftºª hereº one stone¹ upon¹ another,º² thatº shall¹ª notº be thrown down.ºª

3 ¶ Andº as heº satºª uponº the² mountº of Olives,º the² disciplesº cameºª unto himº privately,º¹² saying,ºª Tellºª us,º when¹² shall¹ª these thingsº be?ºª and¹² whatº [shall be] the² signº of thyº coming,º andº of the² endº of the² world?º 4 Andº Jesusº answeredºª and saidºª unto them,º Take heedºª that noº manº deceiveºª you.º 5 Forº manyº shall comeºª inº myº name,º saying,ºª Iº amºª Christ;º andº shall deceiveºª many.º 6 Andº ye shallºª hearºª of warsº andº rumoursº of wars:º seeºª that ye be¹ª notº troubled:ºª forº allº [these things] mustºª come to pass,ºª butº the² endº isºª not yet.º 7 Forº nationº shall riseºª againstº nation,º andº kingdomº againstº kingdom:º andº there shall beºª famines,º andº pestilences,º andº earthquakes,º in² divers¹ places.º 8 ² Allº¹ theseº [are] the beginningº of sorrows.º 9 Thenº shall they deliver¹ª you¹ upºª² to¹ be afflicted,º² andº shall killºª you:º andº ye shall beºª hatedºª ofº allº nationsº for¹ my¹ name's sake.º²² 10 Andº thenº shall manyº be offended,ºª andº shall betrayºª one another,º andº shall hateºª one another.º 11 Andº manyº false prophetsº shall rise,ºª andº shall deceiveºª many.º 12 Andº because¹ iniquityº shall abound,ºª the² loveº of manyº shall wax cold.ºª 13 Butº he that shall endureºª untoº the end,º the sameº shall be saved.ºª 14 Andº thisº gospelº of the² kingdomº shall be preachedºª inº allº the² worldº forº a witnessº unto allº nations;º andº thenº shall the² endº come.ºª 15 Whenº ye thereforeº shall seeºª the² abominationº of desolation,º spoken² of¹ª byº Danielº the² prophet,º standºªªª inº the holyº place,º (whoso readeth,ºª let him understand:)ºª 16 Thenº let them² which be inº Judaeaº fleeºª intoº the² mountains:º 17 Let him² which is onº the² housetopº notº come downºª to takeºª any thingº out ofº his¹² house:º 18 º Neitherº let him² which is inº the² fieldº returnºª backº to takeºª his¹² clothes.º 19 Andº woeº unto them that are¹ª with¹ child,º²² andº to them that give suckºª inº thoseº days!º 20 Butº pray² ye¹ª that¹ª² yourº flightº beºª not¹² in the winter,º neitherº onº the sabbath day:º 21 Forº thenº shall beºª greatº tribulation,º such asº wasºª notº sinceº the beginningº of the worldº to² this¹ time,º no,º nor everº shall be.ºª 22 Andº exceptº thoseº daysº should be shortened,ºª there¹ should¹ no¹² fleshº be saved:ºª² butº for¹ the elect's sakeº²² thoseº daysº shall be shortened.ºª 23 Thenº ifº any manº shall sayºª unto you,º Lo,ºª hereº [is] Christ,º orº there;º believeºª [it] not.º 24 Forº there shall ariseºª false Christs,º andº false prophets,º andº shall shewºª greatº signsº andº wonders;º insomuch that,º ifº [it were] possible,º they shall deceiveºª the² veryº elect.º 25 Behold,ºª I have told¹ª you¹ before.ºª² 26 Whereforeº ifº they shall sayºª unto you,º Behold,ºª he isºª inº the² desert;º go¹ª not¹ forth:ºª² behold,ºª [he is] inº the² secret chambers;º believeºª [it] not.º 27 Forº asº the² lightningº comethºª out ofº the east,º andº shinethºª even untoº the west;º soº shall¹ª alsoº the² comingº of the² Sonº of manº be.ºª 28 Forº wheresoeverºº the² carcaseº is,ºª thereº will¹ª the² eaglesº be gathered together.ºª

we ought to watch like good servants, expecting every moment our master's coming.
