36 But no one knows the day and the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.
37 When the Son of Man comes, it will be as it was in the time of Noah.
38 In the days before the water covered the earth, people ate and drank. They married and gave their daughters to be married. Then one day Noah went into his house built on a boat.
39 The people did not know until much water came and killed them all. When the Son of Man comes, it will be like that.
1 My brothers, you do not need anyone to write to you about the day or the year when these things will happen.
2 You your-selves surely know that the day of the Lord will come just like a person who comes to steal in the night.
3 When people are saying, Everything is quiet and safe, they will be destroyed. It will all happen very quickly. And there will be no way out. It will be like the pain that a woman has when a child is born.
20 He who shows these things says, Yes, I will come soon. Amen, Lord Jesus, come!
32 But no one knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.
11 That is the way the whole world will go. So think what kind of people you should be! Think how holy and true to God your lives should be!
12 You should look for the day of God and do everything you can to make it come quickly. On that day the sky will be on fire and go away. The elements will burn and melt away.
13 But we are looking for a new sky and a new earth which God has promised. Only good things will be in them.
16 Then we who are still alive on earth will be caught up together with those who were dead. We will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we will be with the Lord forever!
17 Therefore, comfort one another with these words.
9 When Jesus had said this, he went up. They watched him going. Then a cloud hid him, and they did not see him any more.
10 While they were looking at the sky as he went up, two men stood by them in white clothes.
11 They said, You men from Galilee, why do you stand there looking at the sky? Jesus has gone up into heaven. In the same way that you saw him go up, he will come again.
1 My brothers, we want to talk to you about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again and we are taken to meet him.
2 Do not let your minds be easily upset. Do not be troubled by a spirit, or a message, or a letter. Do not be troubled if you hear that the day of the Lord has already come. Some people will say it came from us.
3 Do not let anyone fool you in any way. Before the day of the Lord comes, many people will stop believing God. The Man of Evil will be seen. He is the evil one who will be destroyed for ever.
4 He will put himself against God. He will put himself above everything to do with God, and above everything that people worship. He will sit in Gods holy place and tell people that he is God.
2 In my Fathers house are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to make a place ready for you.
3 If I go to make a place ready for you, I will come again. I will come to take you so that you may be with me.
27 People must die, and after that they will be judged.
28 So Christ gave himself as a sacrifice only once. He took on himself the wrong things many people have done. He will come a second time. But he will not come to do anything about the wrong things people have done. He will come to save those who are looking and waiting for him.
31 The Son of Man will be great and will come with all his holy angels. Then he will sit on his throne like a king.
32 All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will put them in two groups like a man who takes care of sheep. He puts the sheep on one side of him and he puts the goats on the other side of him.
33 The Son of Man will put people who are like the sheep at his right side. He will put people who are like the goats at his left side.
24 In that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine.
25 The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.
26 Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the clouds. He will have much power and be very great.
27 He will send out the angels to gather his chosen people. They will gather them from everywhere all over the earth.
11 Then I saw heaven open, and I saw a white horse! The One who rode him is called One who can be Trusted and The True One.He punishes and makes war in the right way.
12 His eyes were like a flame of fire. On his head were many crowns. He had a name written on him, but no man knew what it was but he himself.
13 He wore clothes that had been dipped in blood. His name is The Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven followed him on white horses and they were dressed in fine linen, shining and clean.
15 A long knife or sword comes from his mouth. With it he will punish and control the people of the nations. He will rule them with an iron stick. He is like the winepress that presses the water out of the fruit. It is the place where God, who has all power, shows his great anger.
16 A name is written on his clothes and on his leg: it is King of kings, and Lord of lords.
8 My dear brothers, do not forget this one thing. One day is like a thousand years to the Lord. And a thousand years are like one day.
9 God will do what he promised. He is not slow though, as some people think he is. But he is waiting a long time for you. He does not want anyone to die, but he wants all people to stop their wrong ways.
10 The day of the Lord will come like a man who wants to steal. There will be a loud noise and the sky will go away. The elements will melt with fire and they will be gone. The earth and everything on it will be burned up.
26 If anyone is ashamed of me and the things I say, the Son of man will be ashamed of that person when he comes. The Son of man will come with his holy angels and be great like his Father.
12 Look, I will come soon! When I come, I will pay every man for what he has done.
42 So watch! You do not know what day your Lord will come.
43 And remember this. The owner of the house does not know at what time of the night a man will come to steal something. If he knew, he would watch and not let the man break into his house.
44 So, be ready! The Son of Man will come at a time when you are not looking for him.
