Things to Come |
|
|
 |
|
Mark 13:1
|
|
As He was going out of the temple, one of His
disciples *said
to Him, "Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:2
|
|
And Jesus said to him, "Do
you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will
not be torn down." |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:3
|
|
As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite
the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately, |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:4
|
|
"Tell us, when will these things be, and what
will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?" |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:5
|
|
And Jesus began to say to them,
"See to it that no one misleads you. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:6
|
|
Many will come in My name,
saying, 'I am He!' and will mislead many. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:7
|
|
When you hear of wars
and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that
is not yet the end. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:8
|
|
When you hear of wars
and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that
is not yet the end. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:9
|
|
"But be on your guard;
for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues,
and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:10
|
|
The gospel must first
be preached to all the nations. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:11
|
|
When they arrest you and
hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever
is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:12
|
|
Brother will betray brother
to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and
have them put to death. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:13
|
|
You will be hated by all
because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:14
|
|
"But when you see the
ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader
understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the
mountains. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:15
|
|
The one who is on the
housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house; |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:16
|
|
and the one who is in
the field must not turn back to get his coat. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:17
|
|
But woe to those who are
pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:18
|
|
But pray that it may not
happen in the winter. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:19
|
|
For those days will be
a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation
which God created until now, and never will. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:20
|
|
Unless the Lord had shortened
those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom
He chose, He shortened the days. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 13:21
|
|
And then if anyone says
to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe
him; |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:22
|
|
for false Christs and
false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray,
if possible, the elect. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:23
|
|
But take heed; behold,
I have told you everything in advance. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Return of Christ |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:24
|
|
"But in those days, after
that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:25
|
|
AND THE STARS WILL BE
FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:26
|
|
Then they will see THE
SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:27
|
|
And then He will send
forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from
the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:28
|
|
"Now learn the parable
from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its
leaves, you know that summer is near. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:29
|
|
Even so, you too, when
you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:30
|
|
Truly I say to you, this
generation will not pass away until all these things take place. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:31
|
|
Heaven and earth will
pass away, but My words will not pass away. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:32
|
|
But of that day or hour
no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:33
|
|
"Take heed, keep on the
alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:34
|
|
It is like a man away
on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning
to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:35
|
|
Therefore, be on the alert-for
you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening,
at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning- |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:36
|
|
in case he should come
suddenly and find you asleep. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 13:37
|
|
What I say to you I say
to all, 'Be on the alert!'" |
| |
