Joy
at the End of the Ages
Some
of His disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful
stones and with gifts dedicated to God.
Jesus
said, “As for what you see here, the time
will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them
will be thrown down.”
“Teacher,”
the disciples asked, “ when will these things happen? And what will be
the sign that they are about to take place?”
Jesus
replied, “Watch out that you are not deceived.
For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’
Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened.
These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
Then
Jesus said to the disciples: “Nation will
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes,
famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great
signs from heaven.”
“But
before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will
deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings
and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in
you being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand
how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that
none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will
be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they
will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But
not one hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life.”
“When
you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation
is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee out to the mountains,
let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the
city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that
has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women
and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath
against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken
as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
“There
will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. On the earth, nations
will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world,
for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the
Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things
begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because redemption
is drawing near.”
