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?
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.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours
of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences,
and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be
afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for
my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and
shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise,
and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall
the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination
of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee
into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not
come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field
return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child,
and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not
in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall
be shortened.
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, 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.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the
east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there
will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of
those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall
be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the
Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a
great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 ¶Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; When
his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer
is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all
these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but
my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and
took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known
in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not
have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.
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.
Remember, Satan will also come in His (Christ's) name, saying,"I am Christ"; and shall deceive many.
Don't you be one of them!
Better do as the Lord ask, "Learn a parable of the fig tree" now.
Please log unto and read "Parable of the Fig Tree" so you won't be deceived.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
