35 Earth and sky will pass away, but it is certain that my words will not pass away.
1 But as to times and dates it is unnecessary that anything be written to you.
2 For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 While they are saying »Peace and safety!« then in a moment destruction falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that daylight should surprise you like a thief;
5 for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.
36 But beware of slumbering; and every moment pray that you may be fully strengthened to escape from all these coming evils, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man.«
9 The great Dragon, the ancient serpent, he who is called the Devil' and the Adversary' and leads the whole earth astray, was hurled down: he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
10 The day of the Lord will come like a thief–it will be a day on which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, the elements be destroyed in the fierce heat, and the earth and all the works of man be utterly burnt up.
29 »But immediately after those times of distress the sun will be darkened, the moon will not shed her light, the stars will fall from the firmament, and the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.«
1 And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first Heaven and the first earth were gone, and the sea no longer exists.
2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God and made ready like a bride attired to meet her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice, which came from the throne, say, »God's dwelling place is among men and He will dwell among them and they shall be His peoples. Yes, God Himself will be among them.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death shall be no more; nor sorrow, nor wail of woe, nor pain; for the first things have passed away.«
5 Then He who was seated on the throne said, »I am re-creating all things.« And He added, »Write down these words, for they are trustworthy and true.«
36 »But as to that day and the exact time no one knows–not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.«
11 Since all these things are thus pre-destined to dissolution, what sort of men ought you to be found to be in all holy living and godly conduct,
12 eagerly looking forward to the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens, all ablaze, will be destroyed, and the elements will melt in the fierce heat?
7 But the present heavens and the present earth are, by the command of the same God, kept stored up, reserved for fire in preparation for a day of judgement and of destruction for the ungodly.
12 When the Lamb broke the sixth seal I looked, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as dark as sackcloth, and the whole disc of the moon became like blood.
13 The stars in the sky also fell to the earth, as when a fig-tree, upon being shaken by a gale of wind, casts its unripe figs to the ground.
25 »There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on earth anguish among the nations in their bewilderment at the roaring of the sea and its billows;«
26 while men's hearts are fainting for fear, and for anxious expectation of what is coming on the world. For the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.
32 »But as to that day or the exact time no one knows–not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that daylight should surprise you like a thief;
5 for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.
6 So then let us not sleep, like the rest of the world, but let us keep awake and be sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who drink freely, drink at night.
8 But let us, belonging –as we do– to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not pre-destined us to meet His anger, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ;
