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 these things. There shall not
be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. On
the mount of Olives, the disciples said, Tell us, when will these
things happen? What shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the end of
the world?
Jesus answered, Take heed that no man deceive you. Many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ and they shall deceive many. Ye shall hear
of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye 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 shall kill you. Ye shall be hated by all nations for my
name's sake. Many will be offended and will betray and hate one
another. False prophets shall arise and deceive. And, because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many will wax cold. But those who endure unto
the end shall be saved.
This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached all around the world as a
witness to all nations. Then the end shall 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 him stay who
is on the housetop and not come down to take anything out of his house.
Neither let he who is in the field return to get his clothing. Woe unto
the women who are with child.
Pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the sabbath day. There
shall be great tribulation, such as was not seen from the beginning of
the world until now and will never be seen again. Unless those days are
numbered, no flesh shall be saved. But, for the elect's sake, those
days shall be numbered.
Thus, if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there He is;
believe it not. There shall arise false Christs and false prophets.
They will show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it be
possible, they will deceive the very elect.
Behold, I tell 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, believe it not. For, just as the lightning comes out of the
east and shines over unto the west, so also shall be the coming of the
Son of man.
