Jesus foretold the end times

In this Chapter we are going to view the saying of Jesus in the prediction of things to come and of the end times, from which was written by Matthew, Mark, of from Jesus disciples and we present them in two versions: ‘first’ The Jerusalem Bible, then follow by  /,  and then the ‘second’ King James Version Bible. So the viewers can see how much has it change if any and how the meaning of the interpreting can change as well. We must also remember the disciples of Jesus were writing many decades after Jesus was taken up in Heaven. Many of the recording messages are mainly on memory as you can see the difference between Matthew, Mark and Luke; what about John? Why he did not record the message like his processor had. The message is the good news, about Kingdom of God, which is very important, and it deal with all mankind, and for us to be ready for his second coming. Maybe John wasn’t present about Jesus speech about the end time, or maybe John want to express more detail of Jesus sermon from his three and a half years mission.

I have place a comment below from each common verse related, and help to interpret it meaning of his prediction. Some of the prediction which is interpret worldwide which you may already have known, while others prediction which I have interpret may find you interesting or it may find you shocking to except. Believe me, most other interpreters have got it wrong, they got it wrong from its meaning and also its time line.

Here will be example how tables layout will be to make it easy for you to understand and follow.

Matthew. Ch: 24	MARK. Ch: 13	Luke. Ch: 21
2: I tell you solemnly, not a single stone here will be left on another: everything will be destroyed.  / 2: See ye not all these things? Verily I say to onto you. There shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.	2: You see these great building?  Not a single stone will be left on another: everything will be destroyed. / 2: seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.	6: All these things you are staring at now, the time will come when not a single stone will be left on another. Everything will be destroyed. / 6: As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
The disciples then ask him when will these things will happen and the time of the end will come. Comment: “Remember the disciples want to know more about the destruction of the Temple, ‘starting from verse Matthew 15, Mark 14, Luke 20”
4: Take care that no one deceives you. . 5: Because many will come using my name and saying, “I am the Christ”, and they will deceive many. 23: If anyone says to you then, “Look here is the Christ” or, “here is there” so do not believe it. 24: for false Christs and false prophets will arise and produce great signs and portents, enough to deceive even the chosen, if that were possible. 25: There; I have forewarned you.  26: If, then they say to you, “Look, he is in the desert”. Do not go there; 27: “Look, he is in some hiding place”, do not believe it; Because the coming of the Son of Man will be like lightning striking in the east and flashing far into the west. 28: Wherever the corpse is, there will the vultures gather.     / 4: Take heed that no one deceives you. 5: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 23: Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo. Here is Christ, or there; believe not. 24: For there shall arise false Christs. And false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonder; insomuch that. If it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25: Behold, I have told you before. 26: 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. 27: 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.	5: Take care that no one deceives you. 6: Because many will come using my name and saying, “I am he”, and they will deceive many. 21: And if anyone says to you then, “Look, here is the Christ” or, “Look, he is there”, do not believe it; 22: For false Christ and false prophets will arise and produce signs and portents to deceive the elect, if that were possible. 23: You therefore must be on your guard. I have forewarned you of everything.    / 5: Take heed lest any man deceives you. 6: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 21: And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, he is Christ; or, Lo, he is there; believe him not: 22: For false Christ and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23: But take ye heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.	8: Take care not to be deceives; because many will come using my name and saying, “I am he” and, “the time is near at hand”. Refuse to join them.    / 8: Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ: and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Comment: it refers to “many” meaning many more than one person is involves here. Many shall come and deceived many people. This is a warning to all people on Earth who shall be deceived by false Christ and false prophet and false religion. There have been many who claim to be Christ from pass history and until now. Even Churches teaching false truth to convey with the people in modem times to embraced bad practice against the Law given by God to Human kind, saying the law gone away and we must step up to modem times. “How wrong they are”.  The sad truth which will come soon the Witnesses from God on Earth to proclaim the truth to the whole world, and people refuse to believe it or change their bad practice against God, and they branded him as false Christ, only to know the truth in the end for most people it is too late to change. How about false religion the like such as, Hindu, Buddhism and Muslim and many others whom they all pry to false Gods, and many Christians falls into that trap in converting others religion. What about false prophet which is mention too!, yes there are many who claims to know the future prediction dates but it was never came to pass, all were all wrong with their doom and gloom.

 

 

 

Matthew	Mark	Luke
6: You will hear of Wars and rumours of Wars; do not be alarmed, for this is something that must happen, but the end will not be yet.  / 6: And ye shall hear of Wars and rumours of Wars: see that ye be not trouble: for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.	7: You will hear of Wars and rumours of Wars; do not be alarmed, this is something that must happen, but the end will not be yet.  / 7: And when ye hear of Wars and rumours of Wars, be not trouble: for such things must needs be: but the end shall not be yet.	9: And when you hear of Wars and Revolution, do not be frightened, for this is something that must happen but the end is not so soon.  / 9: But when ye shall hear of Wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass: but the end is not by and by.
Comment: There has been many Wars and Revolution from 33AD till our time 21st century. Some has stopped and others have started and are always on going, through time to time. Rumours of Wars mean there are many which is till to come, but the end is not yet.
7: For Nation will fight against Nation, and kingdom against Kingdom. There will be Earthquakes here and there. 8: All this is only beginning of the birthpangs.  / 7: For Nation will rise against Nation and Kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and Earthquakes, in diver’s places. 8: All these are the beginning of sorrows.	8: For Nation will fight against Nation, and kingdom against Kingdom. There will be Earthquakes here and there; there will be famines. This is beginning of the birthpangs.  / 8: For nation shall rise against nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom: and there shall be Earthquakes in diver’s places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginning of sorrows.	10: Nation will fight against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom. 11: There will be great Earthquakes’ and Plagues and Famines here and there; there will be fearful sight and great signs from Heaven.  / 10: Nations shall rise against Nations, and Kingdom against Kingdom.11: And great Earthquakes shall be in diver’s places, and famines; and fearful sights and great signs shall be from heaven.
Here it describe of Great Wars and disasters, pain and sorrows and signs in the sky. Let start with Wars against Nations and Kingdom. Unlike the reference in Wars and rumours of Wars which is in a small scale as mention in Matthew 24, 6. Mark 13, 7. Luke 21, 9. But, Nation against Nation and kingdom against Kingdom is a large scale War which it did happen, Of World War 1 and World War 2. Never in the pass history, had a large scale War that ever fought. This is a future reference which he describes; meaning our time.   Now disasters like Earthquakes’, Famines and Pestilence of Plagues, we have always had all these disasters on Earth pass history and which by large is a common prophesy. Of course it did have increase in multitude like Earthquakes increased more frequent than one hundred years ago and in varies places and unknown places. All those disasters including damaging Storms are ever increasingly in scales which are the beginning of Sorrows and Birthpang of pain. I don’t know why storm where not included in this prophesy, they do as much destruction and the loss of people life’s just as much as other disasters it has mention. What about Fearful sight and Sign from Heaven. Was there ever a sign before all those were mention or before World War one and two? There was a local report of a unusual lights in the sky in northern Europe years before World War 1 begun. It was not reported nationally as it was a local report. After that, it was quickly forgotten event.  Next the Fatima incident. In 1917 during World War 1, three children had a vision of the Virgin Mary, and it was given a prediction of the coming future. On that particular day the local and multitude of people around Spain had witness a dancing Sun in the sky. All of their prediction has come true, but one needs a serious reinterpretation, of their third final prophecy. The third Prophecy relates to the same theme to the Prophet of St Malachy the last of pope reign of 112, Peter the Roman. The Garabandal incident. In 1961 four Girls had seen a vision of the Archangel Michael. Then on the latter date the Virgin Mary, which they believed it to be. It was the most documented event that took place. Unfortunate one of the girl ‘Meri Cruz González (born June 21, 1950) she has denied the vision which never took place.  Mari Loli Mazón (born May 1, 1949 – April 20, 2009), Whom she has pass away 2009 along with her secret. Jacinta González (born April 27, 1949), she does not know the end date. Conchita González (born February 7, 1949) she is the only one left and knows the end date, she would announce eight days before the terrible event. But it seems a fail perdition when it come to the promise of a miracle for Joey Lomangino, a family friend who was born blind. The virgin Marry said that he will see one day. Unfortunately that day never come, he pass away 2014. Another failed prediction for St. Padre Pio who would see the Great Miracle promise by the Virgin Marry but he died on September 23, 1968 without seeing a great Miracle. The Medjugorje incident. In 1981 six groups of people who claim to see the Virgin Marry, relied on the message for all human kind to be good and kind to one another, nothing more. Very little of any warning sign to the end times.    What about noises in the sky which cured around 2008 – 2012, in which people all over the world who claims to have heard the sound like trumpet or weird sound, it was video tape by many people of this mysterious event. But latter, it was learned that the event was faked. The sound comes from a movie. As for the Blood Moon well that is always in periodic event, always have them. As to the four Blood Moons within 1½ years as always happen many times before. Unfortunately there is no end time has cured here.   So what to make of “and fearful sights and great signs shall be from heaven” I do not know but I leave to up to you. As for the meteors that exploded in Russia in 2013. Well meteors have always falling to earth for billions of years, Nothing unusual there.   What about U.F.O sighting, in the past history times people all over the world have seen these strange lights in the sky and not sure what to make of it, whether they are from God or Demon. These days of our time they are coming in more frequently, seen, Photographs and video tape by millions of people around the world. What does it means! Are these the signs from Heaven?

 

Matthew	Mark	Luke
9: Then they will hand you over to be tortured and put to death: and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.  / 9: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name sake.	9: Be on your guard: they will hand you over to Sanhedrin’s; you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my name sake.  / 9: But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils: and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.	12: but before all this happens, men will seize you and persecute you; they will hand you over to the synagogues and to imprisonment, and bring you before kings and governors because of my name.  / 12: But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name sake.
Comment: In Luke 21-12 “but before all this happens”? Which event does he meant? If he means to say before all the above Prediction in which he mentions, then this one comes first. If so, then this event has already happen. After Jesus rise to heaven, the disciples and follows of all people who believe in Jesus as the Son of God. They were persecuted and put to death by the Romans ruler and the Pharisee’s. After 70AD the Romans continued persecuted the believers in Jesus for two centuries. Can this event! Will ever happen again? In our time no Jewish leaders will ever persecute or kill a Christian. But there is one religion in this world that will; the Muslim religion. There have been wars and battles between Muslim and Christian for many centuries past, till to this day it is still unsettle. Muslim believes that one day they will rule the world, the Christian will either be converted or be killed same goes with the Jewish people as they want to kill all Jews. Synagogue means a “house of worship”, the Mosque is also a house of worship. Jesus may refer to this as they shall take you over to synagogues to be beaten. It will be unwise to build a Temple of God next to a Mosque. For God hates alien’s gods.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
10: And then many will fall away; men will betray one another and hate one another. 11: Many false prophets will arise; they will deceive many. 12: and with the increase of lawlessness, love in most men will grow cold. 13: but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved.  / 10: And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many wax cold. 13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.	11: And when they lead you away to hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what to say; no, say whatever is given to you when the times comes, because it is not you who will be speaking: it will be the Holy Spirit. 12: Brother will betray bother to death, and the father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 13: you will be hated by all men on account of my name; but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved.  / 11: But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought before-hand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12: Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure into the end, the same shall be saved.	13: And that will be your opportunity to bear witness. 14: Keep this carefully in mind: you are not to prepare your defence, 15: Because I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponent will be able to resist or contradict. 16: You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends: and some of you will be put to death. 17: You will be hated by all men on account of my name, 18: But not a hair on your head will be lost. 19: Your endurance will win your lives.  / 13:  And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14: Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16: And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinfolks’, and friends and some of you shall they cause to be put to death, 17: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 18: But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19: In your patience possess ye your soul.
Comment: This statement refers to follow up the last Comment above. This versus deals with what to do when you are caught and those who betray you. This has happen during the Roman years of crucified the Christians for many centuries. They use many method of crucifixion; like using the soldiers in killing for sport or even feed by the wild lions, but then you question yourself about the lions don’t they rib you hair off the scalp? Opposed to what Luke have said ‘But not a hair on your head will be lost’!! If is to happen in the future again, there don’t seem to be any group or any Christians group that will put you to prison or kill you expect the Muslim religion.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
14:  This Good News of the Kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole world, as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.  / 14: And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness onto all nations and then shall the end come.	10: Since the Good News must first be proclaimed to all the nations.  / 10: And the Gospel must first be published among all nations.
Comment: Matthew speak about a witness to proclaim the Kingdom of God on Earth then the End will come. In Mark we have to go back at verse 10, he speaks about proclaiming the kingdom of God to all nations, but he did not mention about the end. As you can see two different outcome of memory. The Kingdom of God has been proclaim by so many centuries of  churches but the End has never come; I still feel it has to do with a witness to come first, one from the two witness, the two olive trees, the two staff. Luke has not mentioned any detail about the Kingdom of God, he may have left it out or he doesn’t remember.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
15: So when you see the disastrous abomination, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the Holy Place (let the reader understand). 16: Then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains: 17: if a man is on the housetop, he must not come down to collect his belongings: 18: if a man is in the fields, he must not turn back to fetch his cloak. 19: Alas for those with a child, or babies at the breast, when those days come! 20: pray that you will not have to escape in winter or on a Sabbath.  / 15:  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’. 16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountain; 17: let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house. 18: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19: And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20: But pray that your flight be not in the winter neither on the Sabbath day	14: When you see the disastrous abomination, ser up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand) then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains: 15: If a man is on the housetop, he must not come down to go into the house to collect any of his belongings: 16: If a man is in the fields, he must not turn back to fetch his cloak. 17: Alas for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come! 18: Pray that this may not be in winter.  / 14: But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not. (Let him that readeth understand.) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 15: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take anything out of his house: 16: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment: 17: But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 18: And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.	20: When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you must realise that she will soon be laid desolate. 21: Then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in country districts must not take refuge in it. 22: For this is the time of vengeance when all that scripture days must be fulfilled. 23: Alas for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come. 24: For great misery will descend on the land and wrath on this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive to every pagan country; and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the pagans until the age of the pagans is completely over.  / 20: And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21: Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22: For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23: but woe into them that are with child and to them that give suck, in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24: And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Comment: this here describe what will happen to the Jewish nation the event so called by abomination of desolation, a lot of commentators thinks it has to do in the future, but they all have failed to understand in as statement above, Mathew and Mark verse 2 and Luke verse 6. When Jesus have said that to his disciples, naturally some of disciples came up to him and ask him when the Temple will be destroyed, that was their first concern. As you can read Luke verses 20-24 it clearly tells you how accurate this prophecy is has come true to pass.  The Romans came and destroyed the Jewish nations, abomination the Temple and destroy it to the ground and the people where neither Killed or escape and scatter in many nations, and some became a slave to the Romans. Least we don’t forget for those whom find refuge in Masada only to be conquer by the Romans, some committed suicide while others were killed. If you could read Deuteronomy ch: 28 that it tell about the important for his people to obey God laws and his commandment by doing so, Then God will bless you, if you do not, God will punish you, and a warning to his people for God will scatter you all over the world to live among the gentiles without a home for a long time. This prophecy has been fore-filled and this has been the longest exile of desolation in Jewish history. In 1948 a Jewish Nation has been born in Israel, after a very long exile in history, but the Temple Mount and part of Israel is still be trodden down by the Gentiles.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
21: For then there will be great distress such as until now, since the world began, there never has been, nor ever will be again. 22: And if that time had not been shortened, no one would have survived; but shortened that time shall be, for the sake of those who are chosen.  / 21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor shall ever be. 22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; But for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.	19: For in those days there will be such distress as, until now, has not been equalled since the beginning when God created the world, nor ever will be again. 20: And if the Lord had not shortened that time. No one would have survived; but he did shorten the time, for the sake of the elect whom he chose.  / 19: For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 20: And except that the lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved; But for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Comment: This event follows after the great desolation of the Jewish people, it refer to the future. Why I say the future? Everyone knows now, that these days in our time we have weapons that can kill off all life on Earth, thus it ever was from the past beginning of history. As Jesus said expect those days have shortened then there will be no life to be saved. Abomination of desolation is not related to this prophecy because to be in a trouble state of desolation, Jesus did not meant that desolation that may only last a few weeks and knowing it going to be over soon and Messiah to comes, then not much of desolate and sorrow people here. No abomination of desolation has already happen as the Jewish people had suffered for nearly two thousand years.  Alot of commentators has gone the meaning of this message of God wrong; the meaning of it has blinded people all over the world that which they did not know the Truth. The Truth of God Message.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
29: Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of heaven will be shaken. 30: And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in Heaven; then too all the peoples of the earth will beat their breasts; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the cloud of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet to gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.  / 29: 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: 30: 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 glory. 31: 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.	24: But in those days, after that time of distress, the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness. 25: The stars will come falling from heaven and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26: And they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27: Then too he will send the angels to gather his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the world to the ends of heaven.  / 24: But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not hive her light. 25: And the stars of heaven shall fall and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26: And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27: And then shall he send his angles, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.	25: There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; on earth nations in agony, bewildered by the clamour of the ocean and its wave; 26: Men dying of fear as they wait what menaces the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. 27: And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28: When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold you heads high, because your libration is near at hand.  / 25: And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring: 26: Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27: And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28: And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.
Comment: there are three version of the last days account, in Matthew verses 29: in relation to Immediately after the tribulation of those days, in Mark verses 24: But in those days, after that tribulation and to Luke verses 25: And there shall be signs. It seems to say whether it is to be immediately or sometime after into the Great tribulation as you can see the distress of many Nations. But in Matthew verses 37-44, and in Mark verses 33-37, and in Luke verses 34-36; which is saying the people were un-aware of the changes happening to the earth and that they carry on with their own life as to partying, marrying, working, or whatever they are doing and when Jesus return people were unexpected without warning. Which is totally different to what we are reading here of the above verses as the world is under distressed? ‘The Sun and the Moon have lose it light’? How would this happen? Because it dealing with all over the whole world and not just one location in Israel as it says the world nation is under distress. You will need a large dark blanket of cloud to cover the whole Earth it will be a big task. Burning the oil refinery wasn’t enough to cover the whole world with smoke as it was done in Iraq War 1991. What about Yellowstone park in USA would that volcano will explode and cause the whole world blanketing with dust? At this point it really is the unknown territory of how it will happen, maybe God knows and how we might see his great power in action as he done with Moses and the Israelites. ‘And the Stars will fall from heaven’! Many decade now,  Astronomers have scan the Skies for possible Asteroid in collision with the Earth, many have been identify but none is with a  collision  course to Earth as far as they know for the next two hundred years; but anything can happen to change that, it just take one push to change the course of an Asteroid. In Revelation we read a star name Wormwood fall from Heaven into the waters on Earth and the water made bitter. The next verse deal with Earthquake ‘powers of the heavens shall be shaken’ ‘and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring’ it is clearly sound like a great earthquake we are dealing here probably cause by an Asteroid which will fall to Earth in the near future. Then after that sometime latter you shall see the sign of the Son of Man ‘Jesus’ will returned in a cloud of heaven and with his angles and they shall gather all the chosen one who have believed. Here it is clearly shown that the believers were also into the great tribulation times, and have seen all these things happening in front of them as they too lives through those bad days, but, they were ready, and  nothing like in been unexpected and the people where going on with their business life when you see all these things are happening, when you read this verse from Luke from above verses ‘Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth’ ‘Men dying of fear as they wait what menaces the world’, it is impossible that the world nations did not to see all these things are happening, as to suggest that they are going on with their own business of life when it says in the scripture that men are dying with fear. So its contradicting  in the verses below as I mention earlier ‘Matthew verses 37-44, and in Mark verses 33-37, and in Luke verses 34-36’; I leave this up to the viewers, all I suggest now, is to be ready at all times.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
32: ‘Take the fig tree as a parable; as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33: So with you when you see all these things; know that he is near, at the very gates. 34: I tell you solemnly, before this generation has passed away all these things will have taken place. 35: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 36: But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, not the Son, no one but the father only. / 32: Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves. Ye know that summer is nigh. 33: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34: Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only.	28: ‘Take the fig tree as a parable; as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out you know that summer is near. 29: So with you when you see these things happening; know that he is near, at the very gates. 30: I tell you solemnly, before this generation has passed away all these things will have taken place. 31: Heaven and earth will pass away, by my words will not pass away. 32: But as for that day or hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, not the Son; no one but the father. / 28: Now learn a parable of the fog tree; when her branch is tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. 29: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass. Know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30: Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass. Till all these things be done. 31: Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away, 32: But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the father.	29: And he told them a parable, ‘think of the fig tree and indeed every tree. 30: As soon as you see them bud, you know that summer is near. 31: So with you when you see these things happening: know that the kingdom of God is near. 32: I tell you solemnly; before this generation has passed away all will have taken place. 33: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. / 29: And he spake to them a parable; behold the fig tree. And all the trees. 30: When that now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31: So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32: Verily I say unto you. This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33: Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away.
Comment: Knowing when and the generation of time, here Jesus telling us how to read the times at hand and when he will return. What we know of what Jesus has told us of all the prediction he has listed above and then when the birthpangs  is at the its worse and the tribulation is about to happen, and there should be signs in the skies the sun the moon and the stars, that we should be able to read how soon it will be and his coming. What does he mean about generation? I don’t think he means marking of time like fore-instead, forty years or seventy years or a hundred years of a generation, no, because of his prediction spanding nearly two thousand years, then he is talking about the passing of time generations until all that is listed in his prediction has come to pass. It is also clear that Jesus himself do not know the time or the hour. If he does not know then how will we know how close we are nearing the great tribulation? We must remember many minister pasters, priests and the likes, who have tried to predict the end times by calculate the times of the hour and the coming of Jesus, not just in our time but from many generation pass as well who have try to predict, and it never came true. I also really cannot say when it will happen, ten years twenty years fifty years or a hundred years from now, truly I do not know, but I can see the sign are there, look around you, the stories you hear on the news is ever so real that we are approaching that time but it may take many years till to come, we just need to be ready as we may not know when, as we will read Jesus next verse below.
Matthew	Mark	Luke
37: As it was in Noah’s day, so will it be when the Son of Man comes.38: For in those days before the Flood people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark. 39: And they suspected nothing till the Flood came swept all away. It will like this when the Son of Man comes. 40: Then of two men in the fields one is taken, one left. 41: Of two women at the millstone grinding, one taken, one left. 42: So stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. 43: You may be quite sure of this that if the house holder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come; he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his house. 44: Therefore you too must stand ready because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. / 37: But as the days of Nō’e were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38: For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. Until the day that Nō’e entered into the ark. 39: And knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. 40: Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41: Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42: Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your lord doth come. 43: 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. 44: Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.	33: Be on your guard, stay awake, because you never know when the time will come. 34: It is like a man travelling abroad; he has gone from home and left his servants in charge, each with his own task; and he has told the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35: So stay awake, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming, evening, midnight, cockcrow, dawn. 36: If he comes unexpectedly, he must not find you asleep. 37: And what i say to you I say to all; Stay awake! / 33: Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is. 34: For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who lift his house, and gave authority to his servants. And to every man his work, and commended the porter to watch. 35: Watch ye therefore; for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning. 36: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37: And what I say unto you I say unto all. Watch!	34: Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened with debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life. And that day will be sprung on you suddenly, like a trap. 35: For it will come down on every living man on the face of the earth. 36: Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to stand with confidence before the Son of Man. / 34: And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35: For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye many be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Comment: he is talking about a time when we will not going to be expecting of his coming, and we will be totally mystified and unprepared when he comes, so we must be ready at all times, as we do not know when it going to happen so we must be on guard; here he seem to talk about a as the world seem claim, Like a time before tribulation that we do not know when he is coming, but it contradict in Matthew verse 29-31,  Mark verse 24-27,Luke verse 25-28, from above; as it says soon after the great tribulation the moon sun stars in perils, Jesus return, the angels gather all the chosen people, to me it sound like a terrible times at hand, chaos all around the world , that to me tell me surly I will be ready and prepared for his coming, and surly it does not sound like unexpected as when you see all these thing happening. But the verse above that you have read, to me it does not sound like in a world were peoples is in a panic mode or evening knowing when the end is coming, so not everyone was ready for Jesus to return, people were eating drinking marrying parties and the pleasures of life, and it was unexpected of the changes around them if any, now that is what becomes a puzzle, surly if you don’t see all these things happening, then no knows to be ready for Jesus return. As the scriptures say, not anyone knows when is the hour for all these things to happen, the angels knows not, not even Jesus only the Father knows.  Whatever the case I will be ready at all times.   Jesus said about one person is taken and the other left behind does he mean a rapture? It did say all the believers and 12 tribes of Israel ‘12 thousand people of each tribe’ will be saves when Jesus returned in Revelation, only that it does not say rapture.   As time seems to drag on and on like a bad dream that never ending, and in which it has been going for many generation now; and so, we sit and wonder when it is going to end. As people are saying when is the end coming! And that when we are all taken by surprised unexpected. So we must be ready.
