Jesus is Asked When the End Will Come |
Luke 21:1-38 The Gospel According to Luke [in Smaller Chunks] |
And [Jesus] looked up, & saw the rich men casting their gifts, [a.k.a. offerings,] into the treasury. And He also saw a certain poor widow casting 2 mites [in there.] And [Jesus] said, [Truthfully,] I say to you, that this poor widow [has] cast in more than all [of] [them.] For all these, have cast into the offering of God, [from] their abundance. But she, [from] her [poverty] has cast in all the [money for her] living that she had. |
And as some [spoke about] the temple, & how it was [embellished] with [beautiful] stones, & gifts, *[Jesus] said, As for these things [that] you [see,] the days will come, in which there shall not be 1 stone left upon another that shall not be thrown down. [Matthew 27:50-51 *When Jesus had cried [out] again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost, [a.k.a. died.] And, [look,] the veil of the temple was [torn] in [two] from the top to the bottom. And the earth [quaked,] & the rocks [broke apart.] |
And they asked [Jesus,] saying, Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] but when shall these things [happen?] And what sign will there be when these things shall [happen?] And [Jesus] said, [Pay attention, that you [aren't] deceived. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; & the time [draws] near. Therefore, [don't] you go after them. [2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means. For that day shall not come, [unless] there [comes] a falling away 1st, & that man of sin [is] revealed, the son of perdition, [a.k.a. Hell;] who opposes & exalts himself [over] all [that are] called god, or [are] worshiped. So that he is [like] God, & [sits] in the temple of God, himself [declaring,] that he is God.] |
But [don't] be terrified, when you shall hear of wars & [riots,] for these things must 1st [happen.] But the end is not [yet.] [Revelation 6:4 And another horse went out [from] there that was read. And power was given to him, [who] sat [on it,] to take peace from the earth, & [so] that they [would] kill one another. And a [large] sword was given to him there.] |
Then, [Jesus] said to them, Nation shall rise [up] against nation, & kingdom against kingdom. And [large] earthquakes, famines, [pestilence,] & fearful sights shall be in [various] places, & great signs from heaven shall be there. *But before all these, they shall lay their hands, [a.k.a. seize,] you, & persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, & into the prisons, & [be] brought before kings & rulers for My Name's sake. |
[Acts 5:40-42 And [the council,] agreed [with] [Gamaliel.] *And when they had called the apostles, & beaten them, they commanded that they shouldn't speak the Name of Jesus, & let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were [considered] worthy to suffer shame for His Name. And they [didn't] cease [from] [teaching & preaching] Jesus Christ daily in the temple, & in every house.] |
And it shall [be] [your] turn for a testimony. Therefore, [resolve] it in your hearts, not to mediate, [a.k.a. contemplate] before [hand] what you shall answer. For I will give you wisdom, & a mouth [with the Words,] [that] all your [enemies] shall not be able to [disprove,] nor resist, [a.k.a. oppose.] |
[Matthew 10:19-20 But when they deliver you up, take no thought [about] how or what you shall [say.] For what you shall [say] shall be given [to] you in that same hour. For it isn't you, [Who speaks,] but the Spirit of your Father, [Who] speaks [through] you.] |
And you shall be betrayed by both: parents, brethren, [relatives,] & friends. *And they shall cause some of you to be put to death. [Acts 12:1-3 *Now about that time, king Herod stretched [out] his hands to [harass some] of the church. And [Herod] killed James, the brother of John, with a sword. And because [Herod] saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to further [seize] Peter, also. (The days of Unleavened Bread were then.)] |
And you shall be hated [by] all men for My Name's sake. [Revelation 2:10-11 [Don't] fear [any] of those things which 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 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 second death.] |
But not [a] hair of your head shall perish. In your [perseverance,] you shall possess, [a.k.a. preserve, or save,] your souls. *And when you shall see Jerusalem [surrounded] with armies, then know that the desolation [previously mentioned] is [near.] [Daniel 12:11-12 *And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, & the abomination [of desolation,] set up, there shall be 1,290 days. Blessed is he, [who waits,] & [comes] to the 1,335 days.] |
Then, let [those, who] are in Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] flee to the mountains. And let [those, who] are in the midst of it, depart out. And [don't] let [those, who] are in the countries enter [into it.] |
For these [are] the days of vengeance, [so] that all things [that] are written, may be fulfilled. [Romans 10:13-15 For [whoever] shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. How then, shall they call on [the Lord,] in Whom they haven't believed? And How shall they believe in Him, of Whom, they haven't heard [about?] And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, [unless] they [are] sent? As it is written [in the Scriptures,] How beautiful the feet are of [those, who] preach the Gospel of peace, & bring glad tidings, [a.k.a. Good News,] of good things!] |
But woe, [a.k.a. distress,] to [those, who] are [pregnant,] & to [those, who are nursing, during] those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, & [anger] upon this people. [Luke 23:28-30 But Jesus [turned] to them & said, Daughters of Jerusalem, [don't] weep for Me, but weep for yourselves, & for your children. |
For, [watch,] the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the [childless,] & the wombs that never [bore,] & the [breasts] that never [nursed.] Then, they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, & to the hills, Cover us.] |
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, & shall be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be [trampled] down [by] the Gentiles, until the [time] of the Gentiles [is] fulfilled. [Daniel 9:26-27 And after 62 weeks, [the] Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of the prince, [a.k.a. ruler, who] shall come, shall destroy the city & the sanctuary. And the end [of it,] shall be with a flood, & [until] the end of the desolations are determined. |
And he, [a.k.a. the ruler,] shall confirm the covenant [contract] with many for 1 week. And in the [middle] of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice & the [offering] to [stop.] And [because of] the [wide spreading] abominations, he, [a.k.a. the ruler,] shall make it desolate, even until the [destruction] that [is] determined, shall be poured [out] upon the desolate.] |
*And there shall be signs in the sun, moon, & in the stars. And distress of nation upon the earth, with perplexity, & the sea & waves roaring. [Revelation 6:12-14 *And I, [a.k.a. John, the apostle, saw] when He had opened the 6th seal, & [looked,] & there was a [large] earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth [made] of hair. And the moon became [like] blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree [tosses its unripe] figs, when [its] shaken [by] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll, when it is rolled together. And every mountain & [island] were moved out of their places.] |
*Men's hearts [shall] fail them for fear, & for looking [ahead about] those things, [that] [shall] [happen] upon the earth. For the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [Revelation 8:12 And the 4th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & ⅓ part of the sun; ⅓ part of the moon, & ⅓ part of the stars was [struck,] & ⅓ part of them was darkened. And the day [light] [didn't shine] for ⅓ part of it, & [also] [in] the night.] |
*And then, they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power & great glory. [Revelation 1:5-8 *And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, & the first [born] of the dead, & the Prince, [a.k.a. Ruler,] of the kings of the earth. [From] Him, [Who] loved us, & washed us from our sins in His Own blood. And [has] made us kings & priests to God, & His Father. To Him be glory & dominion, [a.k.a. power or authority,] forever & ever. Amen. [Look,] He [comes] with clouds. And every eye shall see Him, & also [those, who] pierced Him. And all [families] of the earth shall wail, because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] Is, & [Who] Was, & [Who] Is to Come, the Almighty.] |
And when these things begin to [happen,] then look up, & lift up your heads; for your redemption [draws near.] *And [Jesus spoke] to them a parable. [Psalm 78:1-4 [Listen,] O My people, to My Law. [Lean] your ears to the Words of My mouth. *I will open My mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old, [that] we have heard & known, & our [forefathers] have told us. We won't hide them from their children, [declaring] the praises of the Lord, His strength, & His wonderful works, [a.k.a.miracles,] He has done, to the generation to come.] |
[See,] the fig tree, & all the trees, now. When they [sprout out,] you know [within yourselves] that summer is now [near.] So you [also] know when you see these things [happen,] that the Kingdom of God is [near.] [Truly,] I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, [until] all [is] fulfilled. |
*Heaven & earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away, [until] all [is] fulfilled. [Isaiah 51:6 *Lift up your eyes to the heavens, & look upon the earth [below.] For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, & the earth shall [grow] old like a garment. And [those, who] dwell [there,] shall die in [a] [similar] manner. But My Salvation shall be forever, & My Righteousness shall not be abolished, [a.k.a. eliminated.] |
[You,] pay attention to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts are [burdened with too much: gluttony,] drunkenness, & cares of this life. And so that day [comes] upon you unawares. [Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me & shall be to give every man according [like] his work, [a.k.a.deeds.] |
I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those, who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life, & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters, & [whoever loves] & makes [up lies.] |
For [the Last Day,] shall come [upon] all [those, who] dwell on the [surface] of the whole earth, [like] a snare. [Revelation 3:3 Therefore, remember [what] you have heard & received. Hold [it] [tight,] & repent. Therefore, if you shall not watch, I will come on you, [like] a thief, & you [won't] know what hour I will come upon you.] |
Therefore, you [watch] & always pray, [so] that you may be [considered] worthy to escape all these things, that shall [happen,] & to stand before the Son of Man. [Revelation 3:5 He, [who overcomes,] shall be clothed in white [garments.] And I won't blot out his name [from] the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father, & before His Angels.] |
And [Jesus] was teaching in the temple [during] the daytime. And at night, [Jesus] went out, & [stayed on] the mount, [a.k.a. mountain,] this is called the Mount of Olives, [a.k.a. Olivet.] And all the people came early in the morning [in order to hear] [Jesus,] in the temple. |
