| Gen.
49.1,And Jacob called unto his sons, and
said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which
shall befall you in the last
days.
Like 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?
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. 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.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And
great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from
heaven. 12 But before all these, they shall lay
their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you
up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings
and rulers for my name’s sake. 13 And it shall
turn to you for a testimony. 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. 16 And
ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to
death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men
for my name’s sake. 18 But there shall not an hair
of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye
your souls.
20 And
when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that
the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them
which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in
the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the
countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days
of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in
those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath
upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge
of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of
the Gentiles be fulfilled. 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; 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:
for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And
then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come
to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption
draweth nigh.
29 And
he spake to them a parable; Behold the
fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot
forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at
hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things
come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily
I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be
fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but
my words shall not pass away.
34 And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare
shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may
be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to
pass, and to stand before the Son of man. |
2Tim.3:1,
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4
Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God; 5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
turn away. 6
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now
as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the
truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
unto all
men,
as theirs also was.
2Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day
is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day. |
