What will be the key EVENTS SIGNIFYING the approaching END OF THE WORLD AND THE SOON COMING OF JESUS CHRIST?
JESUS explains in detail what we must expect should we be alive, saying:
“When ye therefore [SHALL SEE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION], spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:) Then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains” (Matthew
24:15-16).
“And when ye shall [SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES], then know that the [DESOLATION THEREOF IS NIGH]. Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled” (Luke 21:20-22).
“[LET HIM WHICH IS ON THE HOUSETOP NOT COME DOWN TO TAKE ANY THING OUT
OF HIS HOUSE: NEITHER LET HIM WHICH IS IN THE FIELD RETURN BACK TO TAKE HIS
CLOTHES]. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
[FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION, SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD TO THIS TIME, NO, NOR EVER SHALL BE]” (Matthew 24:17-21).
“[AND EXCEPT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE SHORTENED, THERE SHOULD NO FLESH BE SAVED]: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
[THEN IF ANY MAN SHALL SAY UNTO YOU, LO, HERE IS CHRIST, OR THERE; BELIEVE IT NOT].
[FOR THERE SHALL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS], and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, [IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT].
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore 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. [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]” (Matthew 24:22-27).
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and [EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM], and they
also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of
him. Even so, Amen” (Revelation 1:8).
