What did JESUS Say of the END Times?

 

What will happen during the END Times?

How will it be?

What can we expect?

Who are we to believe?

What are we to believe?

If you are God's own, you will believe only ONE Authority, and that is JESUS, the SON of GOD.

Let the Lord Jesus tell you himself:

24 And Jesus went out, 

and departed from the temple: 

and his disciples came to him 

for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

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.

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 Noah 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 mancometh.

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.

Matthew 24

What Was the GREATEST Sacrifice of All?

 

Let the prophet Isaiah tell you about the sacrifice of JESUS:

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, 

and as a root out of a dry ground: 

he hath no form nor comeliness; 

and when we shall see him, 

there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; 

a man of sorrows, 

and acquainted with grief: 

and we hid as it were our faces from him; 

he was despised, 

and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, 

and carried our sorrows: 

yet we did esteem him stricken, 

smitten of God, 

and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, 

he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; 

and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; 

we have turned every one to his own way; 

and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: 

and who shall declare his generation? 

for he was cut off out of the land of the living: 

for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, 

and with the rich in his death; 

because he had done no violence, 

neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; 

he hath put him to grief

when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, 

he shall see his seed, 

he shall prolong his days, 

and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, 

and shall be satisfied: 

by his knowledge shall my righteous servant 

justify many; 

for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, 

and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; 

because he hath poured out his soul 

unto death: 

and he was numbered with the transgressors; 

and he bare the sin of many, 

and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53:2-12 

King James Version

by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed

And they said unto him

We have not so much as heard 

whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, 

Unto what then were ye baptized? 

And they said, 

Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, 

John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, 

saying unto the people, 

that they should believe on him 

which should come after him, 

that is, on Christ Jesus.

they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

and they spake with tongues, 

and prophesied.

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.


John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


John 16:7-15 

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, 

that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

Until seven times:

Until seventy times seven.
