As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the Temple,

Peter, James,John and Andrew were questioning Him privately saying:

"Tell US when these things will be? What is the sign of Your coming; When will these things take place?"

"See to it that no one mislead YOU! For many will come in My Name saying I am the messiah, and that the time is at hand. They will mislead many. Do not go after them. YOU will be hearing of wars, and rumors of wars, and of disturbances. See that YOU are not frightened and do not become tenified. These things must take place first, but this is not the End nor does the End follow immediately. For Nation will rise against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, There will be plagues and famines in various places, but these are the beginning of the birth pangs. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven."

"But before these things they will lay hands on YOU and persecute YOU and they will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU. YOU will be hated by all Nations on account of My Name. Be on YOUR guard! For they will deliver YOU up to the courts and prisons. YOU will be flogged in the synagogues. YOU will stand before Governors and Kings for My Names sake as a testamony to them. The good news must first be preached to all the Nations. When they arrest YOU and deliver YOU up do not be anxious before hand about what YOU are about to say. Make up YOUR minds not to prepare beforehand for YOUR defense, but say whatever is given YOU in that hour. For I will give YOU utterance and wisdom which none of YOUR opponents will be able to resist or refute. For it is not YOU who will speak but the Holy Spirit."

"At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold. Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And YOU will be hated by all on account of My Name. Yet not a hair of YOUR head will parish for by YOUR perseverance YOU will win YOUR souls. This good news of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the whole world for a witness to all Nations and then shall come the end."

"Therefore when YOU see Jerusalem surrounded by armies then recognize that Her desolation is at hand. When YOU see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place (which was spoken of through the prophet Daniel) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Let those who are in the midst of the city depart and let those who are in the country not enter the city. These are the days of vengeance inorder that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Let him who is on the house top not go down to get any thing out of his house. Let him who is in the field not turn back to get his cloak. Woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babes in those days!" 'Pray that YOUR flight may not be in the winter or on a Sabbath for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and will be trampled underfoot by the Nations until the time of the Nations are fulfilled.

For then there will be a GREAT TRIBULATION such as has not occurred since the beginning of creation (which God created) until now, nor ever shall again.

Unless the Lord had shortened those days no life would have been saved, but for the sake of the CHOSEN (whom He chose) He shortened the days."

Now "If anyone says to YOU', 'Behold, here is the Messiah.' or 'There -He is.' do not believe him. For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders as to mislead (if possible) even the CHOSEN. Therefore if they say to YOU, 'Behold He is in the wilderness.' do not go forth; or 'Behold He is in the inner rooms.' do not believe them. For just as lightning flashes from the east to the west so shall the coming of the Son of man be." "Where ever the corpse is there the vultures will gather."

"Therefore, take Reed! I have told YOU everything in advance. There will be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars. Upon the earth there will be dismay among the Nations in confusion because of the roaring of the sea and waves. There will be men fainting from fear and the expectation of things which are coming upon the world.

The powers that are in heaven will be shaken.

When these things begin to take place straighten up and lift up YOUR heads, because YOUR redemption is drawing near. For immediately after the TRIBULATION of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky.

THEN the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in great Glory. And He will send forth His Messengers (Angels) with a great trumpet and they will gather together His CHOSEN from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven."

Now learn the parable of the fig tree: when its branch has become tender and puts forth its leaves YOU know that summer is near. Even so, (YOU too) when YOU see all these things recognize that the Kingdom of God is near, at the door.

Truly I say to YOU, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away but My words shall not pass away, but of that day and hour no one knows not even the messengers (angels) of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

"Be on guard that YOUR hearts may not be weighted down with dissipation, and drunkenness, and the worries of life so that that day will come upon YOU suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of the earth. Keep on the alert. At all times praying inorder that YOU may have the strength to escape all these things that are about to take place and to stand before the Son of Man."

"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. Just as it happened in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. For as in those days (which were before the flood) THEY were eating and drinking, THEY were marring and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the Ark. And THEY did not understand until the Flood came and took THEM all away and destroyed THEM ail. So shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

"It was the same as happened in the days of Lot. THEY were eating and drinking, THEY were buying and selling, THEY were planting and building. But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed THEM all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

On that day let not the one who is on the house top and whose goods are in the house go down to take them away. And likewise let not the one who is in the field turn back. Remember Lot's wife.

Whoever seeks to keep his life shall lose it. Whoever loses his life shall preserve it alive."

"I tell YOU on that night there will be two men in one bed: ONE will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two women grinding at the same place: ONE will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two men in the field: ONE will be taken and the other will be left."

Answering they said, "When My Lord?" Jesus said to them, "Where the corpse is, there also will the vultures be gathered."

"Take heed! Keep on the alert! For YOU do not know when the appointed time is. It is like a man away on a journey. Who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning each one his task, also commanded, the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. Therefore be on the alert! For YOU do not know when the Master of the house is coming, whether: 'm the evening at midnight, or in the morning at cockcrowing. Be on the alert test He come suddenly and find YOU asleep. What I say to YOU, I say to ALL! Be on the alert!'

"Therefore be on the alert, for YOU do not know which day YOUR Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the household knew when the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason YOU be ready too. For the Son of Man is coming at an hour when YOU do not think He will. Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his Master put in charge of Hs household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his Master finds so doing when He comes. Truly, I say to YOU that He will put him in charge of all His possessions. But if that evil slave says in his heart, 'My master is not coming for a long time.' And shall begin to beat his fellow-slaves and eat and drink with drunkards, the Master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect and at an hour which he does not know and shall cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
