Old/New Testament

Christ reveals to his disciples the destruction of the temple, the end of the world, and the signs of the latter days. He warns them to awake, for the world will suddenly perish.

24 And 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 shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be cast down.

³ And as he sat on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us when these things will be, and what sign will be of your coming, and of the end of the world.

⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ! and will deceive many. ⁶ You will hear of wars and of the infamy of wars. But see that you be not troubled. For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and realm against realm. And there will be pestilence, hunger, and earthquakes in all quarters. ⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

⁹ Then they will put you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. ¹⁰ And then shall many fall into offence, and will betray one another, and will hate one another. ¹¹ And many false prophets will arise, and will deceive many. ¹² And because iniquity will have the upper hand, the love of many will abate.

¹³ But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. ¹⁴ And this glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.

¹⁵ When you therefore see the abomination that betokens desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place, let him who reads it, understand it. ¹⁶ Then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains. ¹⁷ And let him who is on the housetop not come down to fetch anything out of his house. ¹⁸ Neither let him who is in the field return back to fetch his clothes. ¹⁹ Woe shall be in those days to women that are with child, and to those who give suck. ²⁰ But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. ²¹ For then will be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor will be. ²² Yea and unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the chosen, those days will be shortened.

²³ Then if anyone says to you, See, here is Christ! or, There is Christ! – believe it not. ²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will do great miracles and wonders, insomuch that if it were possible, the very elect should be deceived. ²⁵ Take heed, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ So if they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert! go not forth; or, Behold, he is in the secret places! believe it not. ²⁷ For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines to the west, so will the coming of the Son of man be. ²⁸ For wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles resort.
