Matthew - ch 24 v 1 - 20
- And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple,
- and Jesus said to them, `Do ye not see all these? verily I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.'
- And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what `is' the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'
- And Jesus answering said to them, `Take heed that no one may lead you astray,
- for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,
- and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all `these' to come to pass, but the end is not yet.
- `For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places;
- and all these `are' the beginning of sorrows;
- then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;
- and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
- `And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;
- and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold;
- but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;
- and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.
- `Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe)
- then those in Judea -- let them flee to the mounts;
- he on the house-top -- let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house;
- and he in the field -- let him not turn back to take his garments.
- `And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days;
- and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on a sabbath;
