The Signs Of The Times And The End Of The Age (Matthew 24:3-14)

Now as He (Jesus Christ) sat on The Mount of Olives, The Disciples came to Him (Jesus Christ) privately, saying, “Tell Us, when will these things be?  And what will be The Sign of Your (Jesus Christ’s) Coming, and of The End of The Age?”  And Jesus (Jesus Christ) answered and said to Them (Jesus’ Disciples): “Take heed that NO ONE deceives YOU (Believers).  For many will come in My (Jesus Christ’s) Name, saying, ‘I am The Christ,’ and will deceive many.  And YOU (Believers) will hear of Wars and rumors of Wars.  See that YOU (Believers) are NOT troubled; for all these things, MUST come to pass, but The End is NOT yet.  For Nation will rise against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom.  And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.  All these are The Beginning of Sorrows.  “Then they (Unbelievers) will deliver YOU (Believers) up to Tribulation and kill YOU (Believers), and YOU (Believers) will be hated by All Nations, for My (Jesus Christ’s) Name’s Sake.  And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.  Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.  And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.  But he (Believers) who endures to The End shall be Saved.  And this Gospel of The Kingdom will be Preached, in all the World, as a Witness, to All the Nations, and then The End will come.

The Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:15-28)

“Therefore when YOU (Believers) see the ‘Abomination of Desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel, The Prophet [see Daniel 11:31, 12:11], standing in The Holy Place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea, flee to the mountains.  Let him who is on the housetop, NOT go down to take anything out of his house.  And let him who is in the field, NOT go back to get his clothes.  But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies, in Those Days!  And pray that your flight, may NOT be in Winter or on The Sabbath.  For then there will be Great Tribulation, such as has NOT been, since The Beginning of the World, until this Time, no, nor ever shall be.  And unless Those Days (Great Tribulation) were shortened, no flesh would be Saved; but for The Elect’s (Believers) Sake, Those Days (Great Tribulation) will be shortened.  “Then if anyone says to YOU (Believers), ‘Look, here is The Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do NOT believe it.  For false christs and false prophets will rise and show Great Signs and Wonders to deceive, if possible, even The Elect (Believers).  See, I (Jesus Christ) have told YOU (Believers) beforehand.  “Therefore if they say to YOU (Believers), ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do NOT go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do NOT believe it.  For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will The Coming of The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) be.  For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

The Coming Of The Son Of Man (Matthew 24:29-31)

“Immediately after The Tribulation of Those Days, the Sun will be darkened, and the Moon will NOT give its light; the Stars will fall from Heaven, and the powers of the Heavens will be shaken.  Then The Sign of The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) will appear in Heaven, and then All the Tribes of the Earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man (Jesus Christ) coming on The Clouds of Heaven, with Power and Great Glory.  And He (Jesus Christ) will send His Angels with a Great Sound of a Trumpet, and They (His Angels) will gather together His (Jesus Christ’s) Elect, from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other.

No One Knows the Day or Hour (Matthew 24:36-44)

“But of that Day and Hour no one knows, NOT even The Angels of Heaven, but My Father (God Almighty) ONLY.  But as The Days of Noah were, so also will The Coming of The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) be.  For as in The Days before The Flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until The Day that Noah entered The Ark,  and did NOT know until The Flood came and took them all away, so also will The Coming of The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) be.  Then two men will be in the field: One (Believers) will be Taken and the other (Unbelievers) left.  Two women will be grinding at the mill: One (Believers) will be Taken and the other (Unbelievers) left.  Watch therefore, for YOU do NOT know what Hour Your Lord (Jesus Christ) is Coming.  But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and NOT allowed his house to be broken into.  Therefore YOU (Believers) also be ready, for The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) is Coming at an Hour YOU do NOT expect.

Fellow Believers, these are THE WORDS of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  I pray YOU read and study God’s Word, The Holy Bible, because The Holy Bible IS Our Textbook, History Book, Study Guide, Book of Prophecy, Prayer Book, and so much more.  As YOU read its words, God Almighty, Himself, will Speak to YOU!  God Almighty will Reveal to YOU, things He wants YOU to know, in addition to what YOU read, awesome, huh.  Yes, The Holy Spirit is Our Counselor and Our Lord, Jesus Christ, abides within Us, through The Holy Spirit.  So, We, Believers, have so much to be thankful for, huh.

If YOU are curious, about Future Prophecy, The Book of Revelation, in The New Testament, and The Book of Daniel, in The Old Testament, are good places to compare and contrast.  Other books include: The Book of Isaiah, The Book of Jeremiah, and The Book of Ezekiel, in The Old Testament.
