24

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

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,

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

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.

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.

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:

For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

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.

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.

Behold, I have told you before.

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.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect"s sake those days shall be shortened.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

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:)

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
