In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>John 14:1-4 (KJV)<br \/>\n14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.<br \/>\n2 In my Father\u2019s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.<br \/>\n3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.<br \/>\n4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Matthew 24 (KJV)<br \/>\n24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.<br \/>\n2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.<br \/>\n3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?<br \/>\n4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.<br \/>\n5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.<br \/>\n6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.<br \/>\n7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.<br \/>\n8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.<br \/>\n9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name\u2019s sake.<br \/>\n10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.<br \/>\n11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.<br \/>\n12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.<br \/>\n13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.<br \/>\n14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.<br \/>\n15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)<br \/>\n16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:<br \/>\n17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:<br \/>\n18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.<br \/>\n19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!<br \/>\n20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:<br \/>\n21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.<br \/>\n22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect\u2019s sake those days shall be shortened.<br \/>\n23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.<br \/>\n24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.<br \/>\n25 Behold, I have told you before.<br \/>\n26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.<br \/>\n27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.<br \/>\n28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.<br \/>\n29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:<br \/>\n30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.<br \/>\n31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.<br \/>\n32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:<br \/>\n33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.<br \/>\n34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.<br \/>\n35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.<br \/>\n36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.<br \/>\n37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.<br \/>\n38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,<br \/>\n39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.<br \/>\n40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.<br \/>\n41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.<br \/>\n42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.<br \/>\n43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.<br \/>\n44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.<br \/>\n45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?<br \/>\n46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.<br \/>\n47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.<br \/>\n48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;<br \/>\n49 And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;<br \/>\n50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,<br \/>\n51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2 Thessalonians 2 (KJV)<br \/>\n2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,<br \/>\n2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.<br \/>\n3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;<br \/>\n4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.<br \/>\n5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?<br \/>\n6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.<br \/>\n7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.<br \/>\n8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:<br \/>\n9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,<br \/>\n10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.<br \/>\n11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:<br \/>\n12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.<br \/>\n13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:<br \/>\n14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.<br \/>\n15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.<br \/>\n16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,<br \/>\n17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2 Peter 3 (KJV)<br \/>\n3 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:<br \/>\n2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:<br \/>\n3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,<br \/>\n4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.<br \/>\n5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:<br \/>\n6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:<br \/>\n7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.<br \/>\n8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.<br \/>\n9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.<br \/>\n10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.<br \/>\n11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,<br \/>\n12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?<br \/>\n13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.<br \/>\n14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.<br \/>\n15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;<br \/>\n16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.<br \/>\n17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.<br \/>\n18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.
