O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killed the prophets, and stoned those
sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together,
even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not
have it! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. Ye shall not see
me again until ye shall say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the
Lord.
24 Jesus went outside and His disciples came to show Him the
buildings of the temple. Jesus said, Take note of all this. There will
not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.
On the mount of Olives, the disciples said, Tell us, when will this
happen? What is the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?
Jesus answered, Take heed that no one deceives you. Many will come in
my name, saying, I am Christ. They will deceive many. You will hear of
wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not troubled. All these
things must come to pass; but the end is not come yet. Nation shall
rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There shall be
famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are
the beginning of sorrows.
They will deliver you up to be afflicted. They will kill you. You will
be hated by all nations for my name's sake. Many will be offended and
will betray and hate one another. False prophets will arise and
deceive. And, because iniquity will abound, the love of many will wax
cold. But those who endure until the end will be saved.
This gospel of the kingdom will be preached all around the world as a
witness to all nations. Then, the end will come. When ye see the
abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet, Daniel, stand in
the holy place; understand the prophecy.
Let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains. Let the one who is
on the housetop stay there and not come down to take anything out of
his house. Neither let the one who is in the field return to get his
clothing.
Woe unto the women who are with child, and those who are nursing. Pray
that your flight is not in the winter or on the sabbath day. There will
be great tribulation, such as has not been seen since the beginning of
the world until now and will never be seen again. Unless those days are
numbered, no flesh will be saved. But, for the elect's sake, those days
will be numbered.
Thus, if anyone says to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there He is; do not
believe it. There will arise false Christs and false prophets. They
will show great signs and wonders; so much that, if at all possible,
they will deceive the very elect.
I am telling you all this beforehand, so, if they say to you, Behold,
He is in the desert, do not go forth. Or, behold, He is in the secret
chambers, do not believe it. For, just as the lightning comes out of
the east and shines over unto the west, so, also, will be the coming of
the Son of man.
