24[3-14] And as they sat on the Mount of Olives, the followers came secretly, asking the Christ, “Tell us when this will happen and how will we know of your second coming, and of the end of the world?” So Yeshua answered them, “Be sure that no one misleads you, because many will come in My Name, saying, "I am the Christ," misleading many people. And you'll hear of wars and reports of more wars: but don't be uneasy, because all this must happen, but it's not the end of time yet. Because nation will come against nation, and land against land: and there will be a great lack of food, and deadly diseases, and natural disasters, in many different places. But all this is just the beginning of trouble. Then they'll arrest you to be punished, and will kill you: and you'll be hated by all nations because of My Name. And then many will be offended by Christianity, and will lie to one another, and will hate one another. And many untruthful preachers will come, misleading many people. And because wrongs will be greatly increased, many people won't know how to love others. But whoever doesn't give up, even to the end of time, those are the ones who will be saved. And when this New Word of the realm of God is told in all the world for a witness to all nations; then the end of time will come.
The Antichrist
[15-28] So when you see the antichrist, spoken of by Daniel, the great preacher, standing in the holy place, (whoever reads, let them understand), then let those who are in Israel escape into the mountains of Judea, and let those who are on the roof not come down to get any thing out of their homes, nor let those who are in the field go back to get their clothes. And those who are pregnant with babies, and those who are breastfeeding in those days will be torn away from their children and have great sorrow! But pray that you don't have to run in the winter, nor on a Day of Worship, because at that time great troubles will come, like there's never been since the beginning of time till now, no, nor ever will. And unless those days are stopped short, no one would be saved: but for the sake of the chosen ones those days will be shortened. Then if anyone says to you, "Look, here is the Christ", or "The Christ is there"; don't believe it, because false Christs, and false teachers will come and do many amazing things; so that if it were possible, they would even mislead the chosen ones of God. But listen, I've told you the truth. So if they say to you, "The Christ is in the desert"; don't go: or "The Christ is in a secret place"; don't believe it, because as you see the lightning strike in the east, and flash even to the west; so you'll see My coming. And when you see all the dead, you'll see the buzzards gather.
The Powers of Heaven Shaken
[29-35] And right after all these troubles, the sun will become dark, and the moon won't have any light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and all the heavenly bodies will be shaken out of place: And then the sign of My coming will appear in heaven, and all the families of the earth will cry, and they'll see Me coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and bright light. And I will send My angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they'll gather together My chosen ones from every direction, from one end of heaven to the other. And now learn what the story of the fig tree means; When the branch of the fig tree is still tender, and puts out leaves, you know that summer is near: So you, too, when you see all this happening, know that the time of My coming is near, so very near. The truth is, the generation that this happens in won't pass, till everything I said will happen. Heaven and earth will come to an end, but My words won't ever die out.
Like a Thief in the Night
[36-51] But no one knows of that day and time, no, not even the angels of heaven, but only YAHWEH, My God. But as the days of Noah were, so too will My coming be. Just like the days before the flood, they were eating, drinking, and getting married, until the day that Noah went into the ark, And they didn't know a thing until the flood came, and drowned them all; so too will My coming be. Then two people will be working in the field; one will be taken up, and the other left behind. Two others will be working at the plant; one will be taken up, and the other left behind. So watch, because you don't know when your Christ will come! If the owners of a house had known the time the thief would come, they would have watched, and wouldn't have let their house be broken into. So be ready, too, because I am coming when you least expect it. So then, who is a faithful and wise worker, who has been made overseer of the household, to give those of the household food at just the right time? Blessed is that worker, who when I come, I find doing My work. The truth is, that I will make them overseer over all My goods. But if there are workers who are evil and say in their hearts, the time is not yet; And begin to abuse their co-workers, and to eat and drink with drunks; The Owner will come in a day when their not watching, and at a time that they won't know of, and will cut them off, and will give them their due punishment in Hell with the other fakes: where they'll be crying and clenching their teeth.
