Jesus Warns About the Future

1Jesus was leaving the Temple area. One of his followers said to him, “Teacher, look how big those stones are! What beautiful buildings!”

2Jesus said, “Do you see these great buildings? They will all be destroyed. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another.”

3Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives. He was alone with Peter, James, John, and Andrew. They could all see the Temple, and they said to Jesus,

4“Tell us when these things will happen. And what will show us it is time for them to happen?”

5Jesus said to them, “Be careful! Don’t let anyone fool you.

6Many people will come and use my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah.’ And they will fool many people.

7You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear stories about other wars beginning. But don’t be afraid. These things must happen before the end comes.

8Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to eat. And there will be earthquakes in different places. These things are only the beginning of troubles, like the first pains of a woman giving birth.

9“You must be careful! There are people who will arrest you and take you to be judged for being my followers. They will beat you in their synagogues. You will be forced to stand before kings and governors. You will tell them about me.

10Before the end comes, the Good News must be told to all nations.

11Even when you are arrested and put on trial, don’t worry about what you will say. Say whatever God tells you at the time. It will not really be you speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit.

12“Brothers will turn against their own brothers and hand them over to be killed. Fathers will hand over their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and have them killed.

13All people will hate you because you follow me. But those who remain faithful to the end will be saved.

14“You will see ‘the terrible thing that causes destruction.’ You will see this thing standing in the place where it should not be.” (Reader, I trust you understand what this means.) “Everyone in Judea at that time should run away to the mountains.

15They should run away without wasting time to stop for anything. If someone is on the roof of their house, they must not go inside to get things out of the house.

16If someone is in the field, they must not go back to get a coat.

17“During that time it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have small babies.

18Pray that these things will not happen in winter,

19because those days will be full of trouble. There will be more trouble than has ever happened since the beginning, when God made the world. And nothing that bad will ever happen again.

20But the Lord has decided to make that terrible time short. If it were not made short, no one could survive. But the Lord will make that time short to help the special people he has chosen.

21“Someone might say to you at that time, ‘Look, there is the Messiah!’ Or another person might say, ‘There he is!’ But don’t believe them.

22False messiahs and false prophets will come and do miracles and wonders, trying to fool the people God has chosen, if that is possible.

23So be careful. Now I have warned you about all this before it happens.

24“During the days following that time of trouble, ‘The sun will become dark, and the moon will not give light.

25The stars will fall from the sky, and everything in the sky will be changed.’

26“Then people will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27He will send his angels all around the earth. They will gather his chosen people from every part of the earth.

28“The fig tree teaches us a lesson: When its branches become green and soft, and new leaves begin to grow, then you know that summer is very near.

29In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that the time is very near, already present.

30I assure you that all these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living.

31The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever.

32“No one knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the angels in heaven don’t know when that day or time will be. Only the Father knows.

33Be careful! Always be ready. You don’t know when that time will be.

34“It’s like a man who goes on a trip and leaves his house in the care of his servants. He gives each one a special job to do. He tells the servant guarding the door to always be ready. And this is what I am telling you now.

35You must always be ready. You don’t know when the owner of the house will come back. He might come in the afternoon, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or when the sun rises.

36If you are always ready, he will not find you sleeping, even if he comes back earlier than expected.

37I tell you this, and I say it to everyone: ‘Be ready!’”
