• Matt 24:1-9 : 1 And Iesus went out, and departed from the Temple, and his disciples came to him, to shewe him the building of the Temple. 2 And Iesus sayd vnto them, See ye not all these things? Verely I say vnto you, there shall not be here left a stone vpon a stone, that shall not be cast downe. 3 And as he sate vpon the mount of Oliues, his disciples came vnto him apart, saying, Tell vs when these things shall be, and what signe shalbe of thy coming, and of the ende of the world. 4 And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Take heede that no man deceiue you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many. 6 And ye shall heare of warres, and rumours of warres: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to passe, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shal rise against nation, & realme against realme, and there shalbe famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diuers places. 8 All these are but ye beginning of sorowes. 9 Then shal they deliuer you vp to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Names sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shal betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall arise, & shall deceiue many. 12 And because iniquitie shalbe increased, the loue of many shalbe colde. 13 But he that endureth to the ende, he shalbe saued. 14 And this Gospel of the kingdome shalbe preached through the whole world for a witnes vnto all nations, and then shall the end come. 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.) 16 Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines. 17 Let him which is on the house top, not come downe to fetch any thing out of his house. 18 And he that is in the fielde, let not him returne backe to fetch his clothes. 19 And woe shalbe to them that are with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes. 20 But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the worlde to this time, nor shalbe. 22 And except those dayes should be shortened, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake those dayes shalbe shortened. 23 Then if any shall say vnto you, Loe, here is Christ, or there, beleeue it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christes, and false prophets, and shall shewe great signes and wonders, so that if it were possible, they should deceiue the very elect. 25 Beholde, I haue tolde you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say vnto you, Beholde, he is in the desert, goe not forth: Beholde, he is in the secret places, beleeue it not. 27 For as the lightning commeth out of the East, and is seene into the West, so shall also the coming of the Sonne of man be. 28 For wheresoeuer a dead carkeis is, thither will the Egles be gathered together. 29 And immediately after ye tribulations of those dayes, shall the sunne be darkened, and the moone shall not giue her light, & the starres shall fal fro heauen, & ye powers of heaue shalbe shake. 30 And then shall appeare the signe of the Sonne of man in heauen: and then shall all the kinreds of the earth mourne, and they shall see the Sonne of man come in the cloudes of heauen with power and great glorie. 31 And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the foure windes, and from the one ende of the heauens vnto the other. 32 Now learne the parable of the figge tree: when her bough is yet tender, & it putteth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere. 33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is nere, eue at ye doores. 34 Verely I say vnto you, this generation shal not passe, till all these things be done. 35 Heauen and earth shall passe away: but my wordes shall not passe away. 36 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father only. 37 But as the dayes of Noe were, so likewise shall the coming of the Sonne of man be. 38 For as in the dayes before the flood, they did eate and drinke, marrie, and giue in mariage, vnto the day that Noe entred into the Arke, 39 And knewe nothing, till the flood came, and tooke them all away, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be. 40 Then two shall be in the fieldes, the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused. 41 Two women shalbe grinding at ye mill: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused. 42 Watch therefore: for ye knowe not what houre your master will come. 43 Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knewe at what watch the thiefe would come, he woulde surely watch, and not suffer his house to be digged through. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in the houre that ye thinke not, will the Sonne of man come. 45 Who then is a faithfull seruaunt and wise, whom his master hath made ruler ouer his household, to giue them meate in season? 46 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing. 47 Verely I say vnto you, he shall make him ruler ouer all his goods. 48 But if that euil seruant shal say in his heart, My master doth deferre his comming, 49 And begin to smite his fellowes, & to eate, and to drinke with the drunken, 50 That seruaunts master will come in a day, when he looketh not for him, and in an houre that he is not ware of, 51 And will cut him off, & giue him his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe weeping, and gnashing of teeth.
• Luke 21:5-9 : 5 Nowe as some spake of the Temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, & with consecrate things, he sayd, 6 Are these ye things that ye looke vpon? the dayes will come wherein a stone shall not be left vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe. 7 Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe shall there be when these things shall come to passe? 8 And he sayd, Take heede, that ye be not deceiued: for many will come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth neere: followe ye not them therefore. 9 And when ye heare of warres and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the ende foloweth not by and by. 10 Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, 11 And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, & great signes shall there be from heauen. 12 But before all these, they shal lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Names sake. 13 And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall. 14 Lay it vp therefore in your heartes, that ye cast not before hand, what ye shall answere. 15 For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist. 16 Yea, ye shalbe betrayed also of your parents, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friendes, and some of you shall they put to death. 17 And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake. 18 Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish. 19 By your patience possesse your soules. 20 And when ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers, then vnderstand that the desolation thereof is neere. 21 Then let them which are in Iudea, flee to the mountaines: and let them which are in the middes thereof, depart out: and let not them that are in the countrey, enter therein. 22 For these be the dayes of vengeance, to fulfill all things that are written. 23 But woe be to them that be with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe great distresse in this land, and wrath ouer this people. 24 And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shalbe led captiue into all nations, and Hierusalem shalbe troden vnder foote of the Gentiles, vntill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 25 Then there shalbe signes in the sunne, and in the moone, and in the starres, and vpon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexitie: the sea and the waters shall roare. 26 And mens hearts shal faile them for feare, and for looking after those thinges which shall come on the worlde: for the powers of heauen shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Sonne of man come in a cloude, with power and great glory. 28 And when these things beginne to come to passe, then looke vp, and lift vp your heades: for your redemption draweth neere. 29 And he spake to them a parable, Behold, the figge tree, and all trees, 30 When they nowe shoote foorth, ye seeing them, knowe of your owne selues, that sommer is then neere. 31 So likewise yee, when yee see these thinges come to passe, knowe ye that the kingdome of God is neere. 32 Verely I say vnto you, This age shall not passe, till all these things be done: 33 Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my wordes shall not passe away. 34 Take heede to your selues, lest at any time your hearts be oppressed with surfeting and drunkennesse, and cares of this life, and least that day come on you at vnwares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watche therefore, and pray continually, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these thinges that shall come to passe, and that ye may stand before the Sonne of man.
