Matthew 24:17-41

17Let no one onG1909 theG3588 housetopG1430 come downG2597 to retrieveG142 anythingG3588 fromG1537 hisG846 houseG3614. 18AndG2532 let no one inG1722 theG3588 fieldG68 returnG1994G3694 forG142 hisG846 cloakG2440.

19HowG1161 miserableG3759 thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be forG3588 pregnantG2192G1722G1064 andG2532 nursingG2337 mothers! 20PrayG4336 thatG2443 yourG4771 flightG5437 will not occurG3361G1096 in the winterG5494 or on the SabbathG4521. 21ForG1063 at that timeG5119 there will beG1510 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unseenG3634G3756G1096 fromG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 untilG2193 nowG3568, and neverG3361G3756 to beG1096 seen again. 22IfG1487G3361 thoseG1565 daysG2250 had not been cut shortG2856G3756, nobodyG3956G4561 would be savedG302G4982. ButG1161 for the sake ofG1223 theG3588 electG1588, thoseG1565 daysG2250 will be cut shortG2856.

23At that timeG5119, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 saysG2036 to youG4771, ‘LookG2400, hereG5602 is theG3588 ChristG5547!’ orG2228 ‘ThereG5602 He is!’ do notG3361 believeG4100 it. 24ForG1063 false ChristsG5580 andG2532 false prophetsG5578 will appearG1453 andG2532 performG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 toG5620 deceiveG4105 evenG2532 theG3588 electG1588, ifG1487 that were possibleG1415. 25SeeG2400, I have told you in advanceG4302G4771.

26SoG3767 ifG1437 they tellG2036 youG4771, ‘ThereG2400 He isG1510, inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048,’ do notG3361 go outG1831, or, ‘HereG2400 He is, inG1722 theG3588 inner roomsG5009,’ do notG3361 believeG4100 it. 27ForG1063 just asG5618 theG3588 lightningG796 comesG1831 fromG575 the eastG395 andG2532 flashesG5316 as far asG2193 the westG1424, soG3779 will beG1510 theG3588 comingG3952 of theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444. 28WhereverG3699G1437 there isG1510 a carcassG4430, thereG1563 theG3588 vulturesG105 will gatherG4863.

ImmediatelyG2112 afterG3326 theG3588 tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250:

‘TheG3588 sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654,andG2532 theG3588 moonG4582 will not giveG3756G1325 itsG846 lightG5338;theG3588 starsG792 will fallG4098 fromG575 theG3588 skyG3772,andG2532 theG3588 powersG1411 of theG3588 heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531.1’

30At that timeG2532G5119 theG3588 signG4592 of theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will appearG5316 inG1722 heavenG3772,2 andG2532G5119 allG3956 theG3588 tribesG5443 of theG3588 earthG1093 will mournG2875. They will seeG3708 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 onG1909 theG3588 cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.3 31AndG2532 He will send outG649 HisG846 angelsG32 withG3326 a loudG3173 trumpet callG4536, andG2532 they will gatherG1996 HisG846 electG1588 fromG1537 theG3588 fourG5064 windsG417, fromG575 one endG206 of the heavensG3772 toG2193 theG3588 other.

32NowG1161 learnG3129 thisG3588 lessonG38504 fromG575 theG3588 fig treeG4808: As soon asG3752G2235 itsG846 branchesG2798 becomeG1096 tenderG527 andG2532 sproutG1631 leavesG5444, you knowG1097 thatG3754 summerG2330 is nearG1451. 33SoG3779 alsoG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 allG3956 these thingsG3778, youG4771 will knowG1097 thatG3754 He isG1510 nearG1451,5 right atG1909 the doorG2374. 34TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, thisG3778 generationG1074 will notG3756G3361 pass awayG3928 untilG2193G302 allG3956 these thingsG3778 have happenedG1096. 35HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 will pass awayG3928, butG1161 MyG1473 wordsG3056 will neverG3756G3361 pass awayG3928.

No oneG3762 knowsG1492 aboutG4012 thatG1565 dayG2250 or hourG5610, not evenG3761 theG3588 angelsG32 in heavenG3772, norG3761 theG3588 SonG5207,6 butG1487G3361 onlyG3441 theG3588 FatherG3962. 37AsG5618 it was in theG3588 daysG2250 ofG3588 NoahG3575, soG3779 will it beG1510 at theG3588 comingG3952 of theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444. 38ForG1063 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 beforeG4253 theG3588 floodG2627, people wereG1510 eatingG5176 andG2532 drinkingG4095, marryingG1060 andG2532 giving in marriageG1061, up toG891 theG3739 dayG2250 NoahG3575 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 arkG2787. 39AndG2532 they were obliviousG3756G1097 untilG2193 theG3588 floodG2627 cameG2064 andG2532 swept them all awayG142G537. SoG3779 will it beG1510 at theG3588 comingG3952 of theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444. 40TwoG1417 men will beG1510 inG1722 theG3588 fieldG68: oneG1520 will be takenG3880 andG2532 the other leftG863. 41TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 atG1722 theG3588 millG3458: oneG1520 will be takenG3880 andG2532 the other leftG863.
