Luke 21 Matthew 24 Mark 13
Signs of
the Times
Sightseeing at the Temple
Luke
21. 5. And as some spake of the temple,
how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said,
Matthew 24. 1. And
Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for
to shew him the buildings of the temple. Mark 13. 1. And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto
him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Temple to Be Destroyed Totally
Luke 21. 6. As
for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall
not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Matthew
24. 2. And Jesus said unto them, See ye
not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one
stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mark 13.2. And Jesus
answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be
left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
What Shall These Signs BE?
Luke 21. 7. And
they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign
will there be when these things shall come to pass? Matthew
24.3. And as he sat upon the mount of
Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall
these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world?
8. And he said, Take heed that ye be not
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,
Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4. Tell us, when shall these things be? and
what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
Nation Against Nation
Luke 21. 9. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to
pass; but the end is not by and by.
Matthew 24. 6. And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled[i]:
Matthew 24. 7. For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:
Mark 13.7. And when
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things
must needs 
be; but the end shall not be yet.
Mark 13.
8. For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Earthquakes
and earthquakes, in divers places.
11. And great
earthquakes shall be in divers places,
Famines
and famines,
and there shall be famines
Pestilences
and pestilences;
and pestilences,
Fearful Sights
and fearful sights
Great Signs
and great signs shall there be from
heaven. Luke 21. 25. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in
the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity;
Tsunamis
the
sea and the waves roaring;
26. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth:
The
Heavens Shaken
for
the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
The Beginning of Sorrows
and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there
shall be famines and
troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
8. All these are the beginning of sorrows.[1]
False Christs and False Prophets
Mark 13.5. And
Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24.
4. And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.
11. And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
23. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here
is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24. For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets[ii],
and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25.
Behold, I have told you before.
26.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
21. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo,
here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22. For false Christs and
false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it
were possible, even the elect.
Persecution and Imprisonment
12. But before
all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you
up to the synagogues, and
into prisons, 9. But take
heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the
synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings
for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Testimony before Kings and Rulers
being brought before kings and
rulers for my name's sake.
13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
God will give the words to say
14. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate
before what ye shall answer:
15. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
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
beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
, 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.
Betrayals
16. And ye shall
be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends;
