17 «And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out a portion of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.»
18 Yes, in those days I will pour out of my Spirit upon my servants, and upon my handmaids; and they shall prophesy;
19 and I will give prodigies in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire, and a cloud of smoke:
20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.
21 «And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall invoke the name of the Lord shall be saved.»
51 Behold, I tell you a secret: we shall not, indeed, all die; but we shall all be changed;
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for it shall sound, and then the dead shall be raised incorruptible; and we shall be changed.
14 And this gospel of the Reign shall be published through all the world, for the information of all nations. And then shall come the end.
34 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares: for, as a net,
35 it shall inclose all the inhabitants of the earth.
36 Be vigilant, therefore, praying on every occasion, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these approaching evils, and to stand before the Son of Man.
1 This, also, know, that in latter days perilous times will come.
2 For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, defamers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without natural affection, bargain-breakers, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, haters of good men,
4 headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;
5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it. Now, from these, turn away.
29 Immediately after those days of affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall withhold her light; and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the heavenly powers shall be shaken.
30 Then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and all the tribes of the land shall mourn, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with great majesty and power.
31 And he will send his messengers with a loud sounding trumpet, who shall assemble his elect from the four quarters of the earth, from one extremity of the world to the other.
15 Besides, this we affirm to you, by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who remain at the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate them who are asleep:
16 for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the Arch Angel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first;
17 afterward we, the living, who remain, shall, at the same time with them, be instantly taken up in clouds, to join the Lord in the air; and so we shall be for ever with the Lord.
18 Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.
32 But of that day, or of that hour, knows none, (not the angels; no, not the Son,) but the Father.
20 teaching them to observe all the things which I have commanded you: and behold, I am with you always, even to the conclusion of this state.
42 Watch, therefore, since you know not at what hour your master will come.
43 You are sure, that if the householder knew at what time of the night the thief would come, he would watch, and not suffer him to break into his house.
44 Be you, therefore, always prepared; because the Son of Man will come at an hour, when you are not expecting him.
1 And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth were passed away: and the sea was no more.
2 And I, John, saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God, out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall pitch his tent among them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be among them-their God.
4 And he shall away wipe every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, nor grief, nor crying; nor shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
8 But this one thing, let it not escape you, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord does not delay his promise in the manner some account delaying; but he exercises long-suffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to reformation.
10 However, as thief, the day of the Lord will come; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements burning shall be dissolved; and the earth, and the works that are upon it, shall be utterly burned.
11 Seeing, then, all these things shall be dissolved; -what sort of persons ought you to be, in holy behavior and godliness,
12 expecting and earnestly desiring, the coming of the day of God; in which the heavens being set on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning, shall be melted?
13 But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness.
