^2 [a](A)in these last days ^(B)has spoken to us ^[b]in His ^(C)Son, whom He appointed ^(D)heir of all things, ^(E)through whom He also made the ^[c](F)world.

¹⁶ but this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:

A New Heaven and Earth

¹⁰ But ^(A)the day of the Lord ^(B)will come like a thief, in which ^(C)the heavens ^(D)will pass away with a roar and the ^(E)elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and ^(F)the earth and ^[a]its works will be ^[b]discovered.

¹¹ Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, ^12 (G)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which ^(H)the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the ^(I)elements will melt with intense heat!

¹⁸ Children, ^(A)it is the last hour; and just as you heard that ^(B)antichrist is coming, ^(C)even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

^48 (A)The one who rejects Me and does not ^[a]accept My ^[b]teachings has one who judges him: ^(B)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on ^(C)the last day.

¹⁷ Therefore if anyone is ^(A)in Christ, this person is ^(B)a new ^[a]creation; ^(C)the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

²⁷ For the ^(A)Son of Man ^(B)is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and ^(C)will then repay every person according to his ^[a]deeds.

²⁸ “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the ^(D)Son of Man ^(E)coming in His kingdom.”

The Transfiguration

9 And Jesus was saying to them, “^(A)Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God when it has come with power.”

^26 (A)For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels. ²⁷ But I say to you truthfully, ^(B)there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
