these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world?

deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time
draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 3. And as He sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple,

prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it
were possible, even the elect.

12. But before
all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you
up to the synagogues, and

before what ye shall answer:

which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
11.
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought

, neither
premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that
hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come.

same shall be saved.

words shall not pass away.

time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the
whole earth.

escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of
man.
The Rapture of the Church
27. And then shall they see the Son of man
coming
in
a cloud with power and great glory.

your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

that it is nigh, even at the doors.

porter to watch.

cometh, at even, or at

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
Matthew
24. 47. Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming;
49.
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with
the drunken;
50.
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for
him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51.
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
