Matthew Chapter 24

1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple and His disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the temple.
2 Jesus said to them: Do you not see all these things? Truly+ I say to you: There will not be left here stone upon stone that will not be thrown down.
3 As He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately saying: Tell us. When will these things be? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?
4 Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed so that no one deceives you. Jeremiah 29:8
5 For many will come in my name saying: I am Christ and will deceive many.
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in many different+ places. 2 Chronicles 15:6 Isaiah 19:2
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then they will deliver you up to be afflicted and to kill you. You will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
10 Then many will be offended and fall from faith and will betray one another and hate one another.
11 Many false prophets will arise and deceive many.
12 Because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow+ cold.
13 But those who endure to the end, the same will be saved.
14 And this Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed+ in all the world for a witness to all nations and then the end will come.
15 Therefore, let whoever reads this understand: When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place Daniel 11:31
16 then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains.
17 Let one who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of their house,
18 nor those who are in the field return back to take their clothes.
29 Woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing+ in those days.
20 But pray that your flight not be in the winter or on the Sabbath day.
21 For then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world to this time. No, nor ever shall be again. Daniel 12:1
22 Unless+ those days should be shortened, there would no flesh be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
23 Then if anyone says to you: Lo here is Christ or there. Do not believe it.
24 For there will arise false Christs and false prophets who will show great signs and wonders so that, if it were possible, they will deceive the very elect.
25 Behold I have told you before.
26 Therefore if they say to you: Behold He is in the desert, do not go forth and behold He is in the secret~ chambers, do not believe it.
27 For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the Sun will be darkened, the Moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from Heaven, and the powers of the Heavens will be shaken. Isaiah 13:10 Joel 2:10
30 Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in Heaven and then all the tribes of the Earth will mourn and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory. Daniel 7:13
31 He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Zechariah 9:14
32 Now learn a parable of+ the fig tree. When its branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 So likewise you, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors.
34 Truly+ I say to you: This generation will not pass until all these things are fulfilled.
35 Heaven and Earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour no one knows. No, not even the angels of heaven, but only my Father.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of man be. Genesis 6:5
38 For in the days before the flood, they were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark. Genesis 7:7
39 And they did not understand+ until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then as two are in the field, one will be taken and the other left.
41 As two are grinding at the mill, one will be taken and the other left.
42 Watch, therefore, for you do not know at what hour your Lord is coming+.
43 But know this: If the head+ of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ready. For the Son of man will come in an hour you do not expect+.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant whom his lord~ has set+ over his household to give them food+ in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his lord~ will find doing as instructed when he comes.
47 Truly+ I say to you that he will set+ that servant over all his goods.
48 But if that evil servant says in his heart: My lord~ delays his coming
49 and begins to strike+ his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunks,
50 the lord~ of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him and in an unknown+ hour.
51 and shall cut him in half+ and appoint his portion with the hypocrites and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
