2004.12.12. The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24/3-30: «3. As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him in private, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” 4. Jesus answered them, “Be careful not to be led astray! … 14. This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. … 23. Then, if any one tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or, ‘There,’ do not believe it! … 25. Behold, I have told you this in advance. 26. If therefore people tell you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or ‘Be- hold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it! 27. For as the lightning flashes from the east and is seen even to the west, this is how the coming of the Son of Man will be. … 36. No one knows that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but only My Father. 37. As in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38. Just as in those days which were before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship. 39. They did not understand until the flood came and took them all away, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. … 44. Therefore, be ready, for it is at an hour which you do not expect that the Son of Man will come.» The Gospel of Mark, chapter 13, about the end of the world: «3. As He sat on the Mount of Olives facing the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him in private, 4. “Tell us, when will these things take place? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?” 5. Then Jesus began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. … 19. For in those days, there will be oppression such as there has not been since the be- ginning of God’s creation until now, and never will be. … 21. Then, if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ do not believe it. … 26. Then, people will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.» The Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, about the end of the world: 5
