The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 24
{24:1} Yeshua went out from the temple, and was going on his way.
His [1>]talmidim[<1] came to him to show him the buildings of the
temple. {24:2} But he answered them, "Don't you see all of these
things? Most assuredly I tell you, there will not be left here one
stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
{24:3} As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the [2>]talmidim[<2] came
to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is
the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"
{24:4} Yeshua answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you
astray. {24:5} For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the
Messiah,' and will lead many astray. {24:6} You will hear of wars and
rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must
happen, but the end is not yet. {24:7} For nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines,
plagues, and earthquakes in various places. {24:8} But all these
things are the beginning of birth pains. {24:9} Then they will deliver
you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of
the nations for my name's sake. {24:10} Then many will stumble, and
will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. {24:11} Many
false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. {24:12} Because
iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. {24:13}
But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. {24:14} This
Good News of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a
testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
{24:15} "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation,
which was spoken of through Daniyel the prophet, standing in the holy
place (let the reader understand), {24:16} then let those who are in
Yehudah flee to the mountains. {24:17} Let him who is on the housetop
not go down to take out things that are in his house. {24:18} Let him
who is in the field not return back to get his clothes. {24:19} But
woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
{24:20} Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a
Shabbat, {24:21} for then there will be great oppression, such as has
not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will
be. {24:22} Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have
been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be
shortened.
{24:23} "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Messiah,'
or, 'There,' don't believe it. {24:24} For there will arise false
messiahs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and
wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
{24:25} "Behold, I have told you beforehand. {24:26} If therefore
they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out;
'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' don't believe it. {24:27} For
as the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even to the
west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. {24:28} For wherever
the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together. {24:29}
But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be
darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from
the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; {24:30} and
then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the
tribes of the [3>]eretz[<3] will mourn, and they will see the Son of
Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
{24:31} He will send out his angels with a great sound of a
[4>]shofar[<4], and they will gather together his chosen ones from the
four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
{24:32} "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch
has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the
summer is near. {24:33} Even so you also, when you see all these
things, know that it is near, even at the doors. {24:34} Most
assuredly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all
these things are accomplished. {24:35} Heaven and [5>]eretz[<5] will
pass away, but my words will not pass away. {24:36} But no one knows
of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father
only.
{24:37} "As the days of Noach were, so will be the coming of the Son
of Man. {24:38} For as in those days which were before the flood they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the
day that Noach entered into the [6>]teivah[<6], {24:39} and they
didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be
the coming of the Son of Man. {24:40} Then two men will be in the
field: one will be taken and one will be left; {24:41} two women
grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left. {24:42}
Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes.
{24:43} But know this, that if the master of the house had known in
what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched,
and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. {24:44}
Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son
of Man will come.
{24:45} "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord
has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
{24:46} Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he
comes. {24:47} Most assuredly I tell you that he will set him over all
that he has. {24:48} But if that evil servant should say in his heart,
'My lord is delaying his coming,' {24:49} and begins to beat his
fellow-servants, and eat and drink with the drunken, {24:50} the lord
of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in
an hour when he doesn't know it, {24:51} and will cut him in pieces,
and appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there is where the
weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
