YESHUA JESUS WARNS CONCERNING the LAST DAYS
7 When will these things happen?
What will be the sign that they are about to take place?
8 Jesus replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. Many will
come in my name, claiming,`I am he,' and,`The time is near.'
Do not follow them.
9 When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These
things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.
10 Then he said to them:
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in
various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
('Pestilences' is also interpreted as BIO TERRORS)
12 Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you.
They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be
brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.
13 This will result in your being witnesses to them.
14-15 Make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will
defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none
of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives
and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
17 You will be hated by all because of My name.
18 But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 By standing firm you will gain life.

ISRAEL is GOD's KEY
20 When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will
know that its desolation is near.
IS THIS a 'PEACE-KEEPING' FORCE??
21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the
city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.
22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written.
23-24 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and
nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath
against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken
as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by
the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be
in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
26 Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the
world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.
28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your
heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
29 He told them this parable: (Israel is called a fig tree)
Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30-31 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know
that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening,
you know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 I tell you the truth,
this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things
have happened.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24
Signs of the Last Days
Jesus came from the temple, and His disciples asked Him, When will
these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of
the end of the age? And Jesus answered and said to them,
See to it that no one misleads you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying,
'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.
6-8 You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are
not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet
the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
9 Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and
you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10 At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and
hate one another.
11 Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
12 Because of increased wickedness, lawlessness, most people's
love will grow cold.
13 But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
14 This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world
as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
15-18 When you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken
of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the
reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the
mountains; Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the
things out that are in his house. Whoever is in the field must not
turn back to get his cloak.
19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing
babies in those days!
20 But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a
Sabbath. For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not
occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
22 Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been
saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
23 Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or
'There He is,' do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets
will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if
possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. So if
they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or,
'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them.
27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to
the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
29 Immediately after the tribulation (distress) of those days the sun
will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars
will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky,
& all the nations (tribes) will mourn. They will see the Son of Man
coming on the clouds of the sky with power & great glory
31 And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they
will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of
the sky to the other. So, you too, when you see all these things,
recognize that He is near, right at the door.
FIG TREE - Matthew 24:34-36
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 will
not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the
angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
THEY DIDN'T SEE IT COMING til TOO LATE!
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the
Son of Man, before the flood people were eating & drinking, marrying,
up to the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing about what
would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That's how it
will be at His coming
There is the first appearing of Christ to snatch believers away from
these things, and later Jesus comes with His saints, and everyone will
SEE Him, and He will reign on this earth for 1,000 years.
40 There will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.
43 But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of
the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not
have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming
at an hour when you do not think He will.
Some interpret this as the RAPTURE, but it may just as well mean some
taken away to be executed for their faith.
