And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew [show] him the buildings of the temple. MT 24:1 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. MT 24:2

And as he [Jesus WU] 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? MT 24:3 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. MT 24:4 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [the] Christ; and shall deceive many. MT 24:5 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. MT 24:6 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences [plagues], and earthquakes, in divers [various] places. MT 24:7 All these are the beginning of sorrows [birth pains]. MT 24:8 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted [oppressed], and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of [by] all nations for my name's sake. MT 24:9 And then shall many be offended [turn away from the faith WU], and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. MT 24:10 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. MT 24:11 And because iniquity [wickedness WU] shall abound, the love of many shall wax [grow] cold. MT 24:12 OVERCOME YOUR HARMFULNESS Our Frailty But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. MT 24:13 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness [testimony] unto all nations; and then shall the end come. MT 24:14 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso [he who WU] readeth, let him understand:) MT 24:15 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: MT 24:16 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: MT 24:17 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. MT 24:18 And woe unto them that are with child [pregnant WU], and to them that give suck [nursing mothers] in those days! MT 24:19 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: MT 24:20 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. MT 24:21 And except [unless] those days should be [had been] shortened, there should no flesh [one] be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. MT 24:22 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is [the] Christ, or there; believe it not. MT 24:23 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew [show] great signs and wonders; insomuch [so] that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. MT 24:24 Behold, I have told you before[hand]. MT 24:25 Wherefore [therefore] 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. MT 24:26 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. MT 24:27 JESUS Coming For wheresoever the carcase [carcass] is, there will the eagles [vultures] be gathered together. MT 24:28 Immediately after the tribulation [suffering WU] 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: MT 24:29 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven [the sky]: and then shall all the tribes [nations WU] of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in [on] the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. MT 24:30 JUDGEMENT By Christ 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. MT 24:31 Now learn a parable of [from] the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh [near]: MT 24:32 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. MT 24:33 Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, This generation [race WU] shall not pass [away], till all these things be fulfilled. MT 24:34 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not [never WU] pass away. MT 24:35 PRINCIPLES But of [about WU] that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not [even WU] the angels of heaven, but my Father only. MT 24:36 But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. MT 24:37 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, MT 24:38 And knew not [what would happen WU] until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. MT 24:39 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. MT 24:40 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. MT 24:41 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. MT 24:42 But know this, that if the goodman [master] of the house had known in what watch [of the night] the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered [allowed] his house to be broken up [into]. MT 24:43 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not [don't expect] the Son of man cometh. MT 24:44 APPLY Don't Wait Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat [the other servants their food WU] in due season [at the proper time WU]? MT 24:45 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. MT 24:46 Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. MT 24:47 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; MT 24:48 And shall begin to smite [beat] his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; MT 24:49 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, MT 24:50 And shall cut him asunder [in pieces], and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: [where] there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. MT 24:51 APPLY Fruit Essential Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. MT 25:1 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. MT 25:2 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: MT 25:3 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. MT 25:4 While the bridegroom tarried [took his time in coming WU], they all slumbered and slept. MT 25:5 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. MT 25:6 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. MT 25:7 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. MT 25:8 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell [oil WU], and buy for yourselves. MT 25:9 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage [feast]: and the door was shut. MT 25:10 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. MT 25:11 But he answered and said, Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, I know you not. MT 25:12 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. MT 25:13 APPLY Fruit Essential For the kingdom of heaven is as a man [going] travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered [entrusted] unto them his goods. MT 25:14 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several [own] ability; and straightway [then he] took his journey. MT 25:15 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same [them], and made them other [another] five talents. MT 25:16 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other [another] two. MT 25:17 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. MT 25:18 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth [reconciled accounts] with them. MT 25:19 And so he that had received five talents came and brought [an]other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. MT 25:20 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. MT 25:21 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. MT 25:22 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. MT 25:23 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed [scattered seed WU]: MT 25:24 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo [behold], there [here WU] thou hast that [what] is thine. MT 25:25 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful [lazy WU] servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: MT 25:26 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers [bankers], and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury [interest]. MT 25:27 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. MT 25:28 For unto every one that hath [has] shall be given [more WU], and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. MT 25:29 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: [where] there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. MT 25:30 APPLY Fruit Essential When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: MT 25:31 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them [the people WU] one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: MT 25:32 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. MT 25:33 JUDGEMENT Separation Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from [since WU] the foundation of the world: MT 25:34 For I was an hungred [hungry], and ye gave me meat [food]: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: MT 25:35 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto [to visit WU] me. MT 25:36 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? MT 25:37 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? MT 25:38 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? MT 25:39 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. MT 25:40 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: MT 25:41 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat [food]: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: MT 25:42 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. MT 25:43 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto [help] thee? MT 25:44 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily [most assuredly] I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. MT 25:45 APPLY Fruit Essential And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. MT 25:46 JUDGEMENT Separation And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, MT 26:1 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed [will be delivered up] to be crucified. MT 26:2
