Those buildings!"G2532G846G1607G1537G2411G1520G846G3101G3004G846G1320G2396G4217G3037G2532G4217G36192Jesus said, "You're impressed by this grandiose architecture? There's not a stone in the whole works that is not going to end up in a heap of rubble."G2532G2424G611G2036G846G991G5025G3173G3619G863G3364G863G3037G1909G3037G3739G2647G3364G26473Later, as he was sitting on Mount Olives in full view of the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew got him off by himself and asked,G2532G846G2521G1519G3735G1636G2713G2411G4074G2532G2385G2532G2491G2532G406G1905G846G2596G23984"Tell us, when is this going to happen? What sign will we get that things are coming to a head?"G2036G2254G4219G5023G2071G2532G5101G4592G3752G3956G5023G3195G49315Jesus began, "Watch out for doomsday deceivers.G1161G2424G611G846G756G3004G991G3361G5100G4105G52096Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, 'I'm the One.' They will deceive a lot of people.G1063G4183G2064G1909G3450G3686G3004G3754G1473G1510G2532G4105G41837When you hear of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history, and no sign of the end.G1161G3752G191G4171G2532G189G4171G2360G3361G2360G1063G1163G1096G235G5056G37688Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. But these things are nothing compared to what's coming.G1063G1484G1453G1909G1484G2532G932G1909G932G2532G2071G4578G2596G5117G2532G2071G3042G2532G5016G5023G746G56049"And watch out! They're going to drag you into court. And then it will go from bad to worse, dog-eat-dog, everyone at your throat because you carry my name. You're placed there as sentinels to truth.G1161G5210G991G1438G1063G3860G5209G3860G1519G4892G2532G1519G4864G1194G2532G2476G71G1909G2232G2532G935G1700G1752G1519G3142G84610The Message has to be preached all across the world.G2532G2098G1163G4412G2784G1519G3956G148411"When they bring you, betrayed, into court, don't worry about what you'll say. When the time comes, say what's on your heart—the Holy Spirit will make his witness in and through you.G1161G3752G71G3860G5209G3860G4305G3361G4305G5101G2980G3366G3191G235G3739G1437G1325G5213G1722G1565G5610G5124G2980G1063G2075G3756G5210G2980G235G40G415112"It's going to be brother killing brother, father killing child, children killing parents.G1161G80G3860G80G1519G2288G2532G3962G5043G2532G5043G1881G1909G1118G2532G2289G846G228913There's no telling who will hate you because of me.

You who can read, make sure you understand what I'm talking about. If you're living in Judea at the time, run for the hills;G1161G3752G1492G946G2050G4483G5259G1158G4396G2476G2476G3699G1163G3756G314G3539G5119G5343G1722G2449G5343G1519G373515if you're working in the yard, don't go back to the house to get anything;G1161G2597G1909G1430G3361G2597G1519G3614G3366G1525G142G5100G1537G846G361416if you're out in the field, don't go back to get your coat.G2532G1994G5607G1519G68G3361G1519G1994G3694G1994G142G846G244017Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard.G1161G3759G2192G1722G1064G2532G2337G1722G1565G225018Hope and pray this won't happen in the middle of winter.G1161G4336G3363G5216G5437G1096G3363G549419"These are going to be hard days—nothing like it from the time God made the world right up to the present. And there'll be nothing like it again.G1063G1565G2250G2071G2347G5108G3634G1096G3756G575G746G2937G3739G2316G2936G2193G3568G2532G3364G109620If he let the days of trouble run their course, nobody would make it. But because of God's chosen people, those he personally chose, he has already intervened.G2532G1508G2962G2856G2250G3756G3956G4561G302G4982G235G1223G1588G3739G1586G2856G225021"If anyone tries to flag you down, calling out, 'Here's the Messiah!' or points, 'There he is!' don't fall for it.G2532G5119G1437G5100G2036G5213G2400G5602G5547G2228G2400G1563G4100G336122Fake Messiahs and lying preachers are going to pop up everywhere. Their impressive credentials and dazzling performances will pull the wool over the eyes of even those who ought to know better.G1063G5580G2532G5578G1453G2532G1325G4592G2532G5059G4314G635G1487G1415G2532G158823So watch out. I've given you fair warning.G1161G991G5210G991G2400G4280G5213G395624"Following those hard times, Sun will fade out, moon cloud over,G235G1722G1565G2250G3326G1565G2347G2246G4654G2532G4582G1325G3756G1325G846G533825Stars fall out of the sky, cosmic powers tremble.G2532G792G3772G2071G1601G2532G1411G1722G3772G453126"And then they'll see the Son of Man enter in grand style, his Arrival filling the sky—no one will miss it!G2532G5119G3700G5207G444G2064G1722G3507G3326G4183G1411G2532G139127He'll dispatch the angels; they will pull in the chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole.G2532G5119G649G846G32G2532G1996G846G1588G1537G5064G417G575G206G1093G2193G206G377228"Take a lesson from the fig tree.
