And
Emmanuel answered
and
said unto them,
Take
heed
that no man deceive you.
For
many shall come in my name,
saying,
I am Christ;
and
shall deceive
many.
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.
*****
And
the Lord said unto Moses,
Rise up early in
the morning,
and
stand before
Pharaoh,
and
say unto him,
Thus saith
the Lord
God of
the Hebrews,
Let my people go,
that they
may serve me.
For
I
will at this time send all my
plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants,
and upon thy people;
that thou mayest know
that
there is none like me in all
the earth.
**
And
now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath
opened her mouth
to receive
thy brother's blood from thy
hand;
**
For
now I
will stretch out my hand, that I may
smite thee
and
thy people
with pestilence; and thou
shalt
be cut off from the earth.
*****
For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.
*****
And
the Lord said,
I
have surely seen the affliction
of
my people
which are in Egypt,
and have heard their cry by
reason of their taskmasters; for I
know their
sorrows;
And
I am come
down to
deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out
of that land unto a good
land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
*****
All these are
the beginning of sorrows.
Then
shall they deliver you up
to be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye
shall be hated
of
all nations for my name's
sake.
And
then shall many be offended, and shall betray
one an-other, and shall hate one another.
And
many false prophets
shall rise, and shall deceive many.
*****
Now
Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased
to be with Sarah after the manner of workmen.
Therefore
Sarah laughed
within herself,
saying,
After
I
am waxed old
shall I have pleasure,
my lord
being old also?
*****
And
because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But
he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And
this gospel
of the kingdom shall be pTreached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
shall
the end
come.
********
And shall say,
Cast ye
up,
cast ye
up,
prepare
the way,
take up the stumblingblock
out of the way of my people.
For thus saith the high and
lofty One that
inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high
and
holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite
ones.
*****
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 Judaea flee into the mountains:
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
the angel
of the Lord said unto her,
I
will multiply thy
seed
exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for
multitude.
And
the angel of the Lord said unto her,
Behold,
thou
art with child,
and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because
the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
And
he will be a wild man; his hand
will be against every man, and every man's hand
against him; and he shall dwell in the presence
of all his brethren.
*****
And
woe unto them that are with child,
*****
Wilt
thou
believe him, that he
will
bring home thy seed,
and gather
it into thy
barn?
Gavest thou
the goodly
wings unto the peacocks? or wings
and feathers
unto the ostrich?
Which
leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
And
forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
She is hardened against her
young
ones, as though they were not hers:
her labour is in vain without fear;
***
Even
the sea monsters draw
out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
The tongue
of
the sucking
child cleaveth
to the roof of his mouth
for
thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
*****
and
to them that give suck in those days!
*****
They
shall be left together unto the fowls
of
the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them,
and all
the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
***
In
those days saw I
in Judah some
treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as
also wine, grapes,
and figs, and all manner of burdens,
which they brought into Jerusalem
on the sabbath day:
and I testified against them in the day
wherein they sold victuals.
*****
But
pray ye that
your flight
be
not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
*****
But
if from thence thou
shalt seek the Lord thy
God,
thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy
soul.
When
thou art in tribulation, and all these things are
come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn
to
the Lord thy
God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For
the Lord
thy God is a merciful God;) he
will not forsake thee, neither
destroy thee, nor forget the
covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
For
ask now of
the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created
man upon the
earth, and ask from
the one
side
of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this
great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
*****
For
then
shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time,
no,
nor
ever shall be.
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.
*****
And
he said,
Lord
God,
whereby
shall I
know
that I shall inherit it?
And
he said unto him,
Take
me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
And
he took
unto him all these,
and
divided them
in the midst,
and
laid each piece one against another:
but the birds divided he not.
And
when the
fowls came down
upon the carcases,
Abram drove them away.
*****
For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be
gathered together.
Immediately
after the tribulation 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:
*****
Specially
the day
that
thou stoodest before the Lord
thy God
in Horeb,
when the Lord said unto me,
Gather
me the people together, and I will make them hear my words,
that they may
learn to fear me
all the days
that they shall live upon the earth,
and that they may teach their children.
And
ye came near
and stood
under
the mountain;
and the mountain burned
with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness,
clouds, and thick
darkness.
And
the Lord spake unto you
out
of the midst of the fire:
ye heard
the voice
of
the words,
but
saw no
similitude;
only
ye heard a voice.
*****
And
then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of
the earth mourn, and they shall see
the Son
of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
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.
