The Disciples Ask Jesus When These Things Shall Happen |
Matthew 24:1-51 The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks] |
And Jesus went out, & [left] from the temple. And His disciples came to Him, [in order] to [show] the [temple's] buildings to Him. *And Jesus said to them, [Don't] you see all these things? [Truly,] I say to you, There shall not be one stone left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down. |
[Matthew 27:50-51 *When Jesus had cried [out,] with a loud voice, He yielded up the ghost, [a.k.a. died.] And, behold, the temple veil was [torn] in [two] from the top to the bottom. And the earth [quaked,] & the rocks [broke apart.] |
And as [Jesus] sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came privately to Him, saying, Tell us, when these things shall be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, & of the end of the world? And Jesus answered & said to them, [Pay attention,] that no man [deceives] you. |
For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; & shall deceive many. [1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, [don't] believe every spirit, but [test] the spirits, whether they are [from] God; because many false prophets [have] gone out into the world. |
[By this,] you [shall] know the Spirit of God: Every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ [has] come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit that [doesn't] confess that Jesus Christ [has] come in the flesh, isn't [from] God. And this is that spirit of antichrist, [of which] you have heard that it should come; & even now, is already in the world.] |
And you shall hear of wars & rumors of wars. See that you [aren't] troubled. For all these things must [happen,] but the end isn't yet. For nations shall rise [up] against nation, & kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be famines, pestilences, & earthquakes, in [various] places. |
All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then, they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, & you shall be hated [by] all nations for My Name's sake. [Revelation 2:10-11 [Don't] fear [any] of those things, [that] you shall suffer. |
[Watch,] the devil shall cast some of you into prison, [so] that you may be tried, [a.k.a. tested.] And you shall have tribulation [for] 10 days. You, be faithful [until] death, & I will give you a crown of life. He, [who has] an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He, [who] overcomes shall not be hurt [from] the 2nd death.] |
And then, many shall be offended, & shall betray one another, & shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise [up,] & shall deceive many. [Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, [a.k.a. captured,] & with him, the false prophet [who brought about] miracles [in front of] him, with which he deceived [those, who] had received the mark of the beast, & [those, who] worshiped his image. These were both cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone.] |
And because [sinfulness] shall abound, the love of many shall [grow] cold. But he, [who] shall endure [until] the end, the same shall be saved. [Revelation 15:20-21 Remember the Word that I said to you, The servant isn't greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. |
If they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. But they will do all these things to you for My Name's sake, because they [don't] know Him, [Who] sent Me.] |
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness, [a.k.a. testimony,] to all nations. And then, the end shall come. Therefore, when you shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, [standing] in the Holy Place. (Let [whoever] reads this, understand:) |
[Daniel 8:11-14 [Yes,] he magnified himself even [up to] the Prince of the Host, & by him, the daily sacrifice was taken away, & the place of His sanctuary was cast down. [Because of sinfulness,] an [army] was given to him, against the daily sacrifice, & it [threw] Truth down to the ground. |
And it practiced, [a.k.a. rehearsed,] & prospered. Then, I heard one saint speaking. And another saint said to that [same] saint, [who spoke,] How long shall [it] be [until] the vision [about] the daily sacrifice, & the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary & the [army] to be [trampled] underfoot? And he said to me, [Until] 2,300 days. Then, the sanctuary shall be cleansed.] |
Then, let [those, who are] in Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] flee into the mountains. Let him, [who] is on the housetop, not come down to take anything out of his house. Neither let him, [who] is in the field, return back to take his clothes. |
And woe [to those, who] are [pregnant,] & to [those, who are nursing during] those days! But you, pray that your flight [isn't] in the winter, & neither on the Sabbath Day. For great tribulations shall be then, such as wasn't since the beginning of the world, [until] this time, no, nor ever shall be [again.] |
And [unless] those days should be shortened, there [would] be no flesh saved, [a.k.a. alive:] but for the sake [of the] [elect, a.k.a. selected, chosen, or appointed,] those days shall be shortened. |
Then, if any man shall say to you, [Look,] here is Christ, or there [He is,] [don't] believe it. For there shall arise false Christs, & false prophets, & shall [show] great signs & wonders, [a.k.a. miracles, in] that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [Watch,] I have told you before. |
[John 14:29 And now I have told you before it [happens, so] that, when it [happens,] you might believe.] [For this reason,] if they shall say to you, [Look,] He is in the desert, [don't] go [there.] [See,] He is in the secret [rooms, don't] believe it. |
For [like] the lightning comes out of the East, & even shines to the West; so shall the coming of the Son of Man also be. For [wherever] the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered there together. |
[Habakkuk 1:8 Also, their horses are swifter than leopards, & are more fierce than [ravenous] wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves [out,] and their horsemen shall come from far [away.] They shall fly [like] the [hungry] eagle, that [hurries] to eat.] |
Immediately after the tribulation [during] those days, the sun shall be darkened, & the moon shall not give [its] light. And the stars shall fall from heaven, & the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. |
[Revelation 8:12 And the 4th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & the 3rd part of the sun was [struck,] & the 3rd part of the moon, & the 3rd part of the stars. So [like] the 3rd part of them was darkened, & the day [didn't shine,] for a 3rd part of it, & [also] the night [didn't shine.] |
*And the sign of the Son of Man in heaven shall appear then, & all the tribes of the earth shall mourn then. And they shall see the Son of Man coming with power & great glory in the clouds of heaven. |
[Revelation 1:7-8 [Watch,] He comes with clouds; & every eye shall see Him. And also [those, who] pierced Him. And all the [families] of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so. Amen. |
[I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is, & [Who] was, & [Who] is to come, the Almighty. |
And He shall send His Angels with a great trumpet sound, & they shall gather together His elect from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [Revelation 7:13-17 And one of the elders answered, saying, to me, [Who] are [those, who] are [clothed] in white robes? |
And [where] [did] they [come] [from?] And I said to him, Sir, you [know.] And he said to me, These are [those, who] came out of great tribulation, & have washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are [in front of] the throne of God, & serve Him day & night in His temple. |
And He [Who] sits on the throne, shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger, & neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [burn] them. |
For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne shall feed them, & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] |
Now, learn a parable [about] the fig tree. When [its] branch is [still] tender, & [puts out] leaves, you know that summer is [soon.] So, [also] you [shall know,] when you shall see all these things. Know that it is near, even at the doors. |
[Truly,] I say to you, This generation shall not pass, [until] all these things [are] fulfilled. [Matthew 20:17-19 And going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the 12 disciples [aside on] the [road,] & said to them, [Watch,] we go up to Jerusalem. |
*And the Son of Man shall be betrayed to the chief priest, & to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death, & shall deliver Him to the Gentiles: to mock, to scourge, [a.k.a. whip,] & to crucify Him. And the third day, He shall rise again.] |
Heaven & earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day & hour, no man knows, no, not the Angels of heaven, but only My Father. But [like] the days of [Noah] were, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. |
For [like during] the days that were before the flood, they were eating & drinking, marrying & giving in marriage, until the day that [Noah] entered into the ark, & [didn't know] until the flood came, & took them all away. |
So shall the coming of the Son of Man also be. Then, 2 shall be in the field; the 1 shall be taken, & the other left. Two women shall be grinding [flour] at the mill. The 1 shall be taken, & the other left. Therefore watch, for you [don't] know what hour your Lord [comes.] |
But know this, that if the [person in charge] of the house had known in [which] watch the thief would come. He would have watched, & wouldn't have [allowed] his house to be broken up [a.k. into.] |
Therefore, you also be ready: for in such an hour, as you [aren't thinking] the Son of Man [comes.] Then, who is a faithful & wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat, [a.k.a. food,] in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord shall find doing so, when he [returns.] |
[Truly,] I say to you, That he shall make him ruler, [a.k.a. supervisor,] over all his goods. But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming, & shall begin to [strike] his fellow servants, & to eat & drink with the [drunk.] |
The lord of that servant shall come, [on] a day when he [doesn't] look for him, & an hour that he isn't aware of, & shall cut him asunder, [a.k.a. to pieces,] & appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. |
There shall be weeping & gnashing of teeth. [1 Thessalonians 5:5-10 For you are all the children of Light, & the children of the day. We aren't of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, [like] others do. But let us watch, & be sober. For [those, who] sleep, sleep in the night. |
And [those who are drunk, drink] in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith & love. And the hope of Salvation, for [a] helmet. |
For God [hasn't] appointed us [for] wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, [so] that whether we [are] [awake,] or sleep [in death,] we should live together with Him.] |
