1 YAHUSHA left the Temple area and was walking away. But His Disciples came to Him and wanted to draw His attention to the Temple’s fine buildings. 2 So He asked them, “Why are you looking at these buildings, so impressed? Don’t you know they’ll all be destroyed? Every stone will be thrown down to the ground. That’s right! Not one stone will be left standing on another.”
3 Later, YAHUSHA was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives, and His Disciples came to be alone with Him. They said, “Tell us when these things will happen, and what is the sign of Your coming and the end of time?” 4 YAHUSHA answered, “Be careful! Don’t let anyone fool you. 5 Many people will come and use My Name. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah.’ And they will fool many people. 6 You 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. 7 Nations (ethnic groups) will fight against other nations (ethnic groups) and Kingdoms will fight against other Kingdoms. There will be famines, deadly diseases (virus) and earthquakes in many places. 8 But these things are only the beginning of troubles, like the first pains of a woman giving birth.
9 Then you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and killed. People all over the world will hate you because you follow Me. 10 During that time many believers will fall away and turn against each other and hate each other. 11 Many false prophets will come and cause many people to believe lies and falsehood. 12 There will be so much more evil and lawlessness in the world that the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures and remains trustworthy to the end will be delivered. 14 And the Good News I have shared about Alahim’s Kingdom will be spread throughout the world, as a witness to every nation. Then the end will come!
15 Daniel the prophet spoke about the ‘abomination that lays waste, being set up in the Set-Apart place' (THE DEVIL REIGNING FROM PEOPLE’S HEARTS AND BEHAVING THROUGH THEIR BODIES). So when you see this happening (the reader must understand) 16 the people in Judah at that time should run away to the mountains. 17 They should run away without wasting time to stop for anything. If they are on the roof of their house, they must not go down to get anything out of the house. 18 If they are in the field, they must not go back to get a coat. 19 During that time it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have small babies! 20 So pray that it will not be winter or on a Sabbath day when these things happen and you have to run away, 21 because it will be a time of great trouble. There will be more trouble than has ever happened since the beginning of the world. And nothing as bad as that will ever happen again.
22 But Alahim has decided to make that terrible time short for the sake of His chosen ones. For if it were not made short, no one on earth would survive. 23 Someone might say to you at that time, ‘Look, there is the Messiah!’ Or someone else might say, ‘There He is!’ But don’t believe them. 24 False messiahs and false prophets will come and do great miracles and wonders, trying to fool the people Alahim has chosen, if that’s possible. 25 Now I have warned you about this before it happens. 26 “Someone might tell you, ‘The Messiah is there in the desert!’ But don’t go into the desert to look for Him. Someone else might say, ‘There is the Messiah in that room!’ But don’t believe it. 27 For when the Son of Man comes, everyone will see Him. It will be like lightning flashing in the sky that can be seen everywhere at once. 28 It’s like looking for a dead body: You will find it where the vultures are gathering above.
29 Right after the trouble of those days, this will happen: ‘The sun will become dark, and the moon will not give light. The stars will fall from the sky, and everything in the sky will be changed.’ 30 Then there will be something in the sky that shows the Son of Man is coming. All the people of the world will cry. Everyone will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. He will come with power and great esteem. 31 He will use a loud trumpet to send His Angels all around the earth. They will gather His chosen people from the four corners of the world. 32 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.
33 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that the time is very near, and He’s at the doors, ready. 34 I assure you that all these things will happen while some of this generation is still living. 35 The Heaven and the earth will be destroyed, but My Words will last forever. 36 No one knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the Angels in Heaven don’t know when it will be either. Only the Father knows. 37 When the Son of Man comes, it will be the same as what happened during Noah’s time. 38 For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving their children to be married right up to the day that Noah entered the Ark. 39 They knew nothing about what was happening until the flood came and destroyed them all. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.
40 Two men will be working together in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding grain with a mill. One will be taken and the other will be left. 42 So always be ready, for you don’t know the day your Master will come. 43 What would a homeowner do if he knew when a thief was going to break in? He’d be ready and not let the thief break in. 44 So you also must be ready, for the Son of Man will come at a time when you don’t expect Him. 45 Who is the wise and trusted servant? The Master trusts one servant to give the other servants their food at the right time. Who is the one the Master trusts to do that work? 46 When the Master comes and finds that servant doing the work He gave him, it will be a day of blessing for that servant. 47 I can tell you without a doubt, the Master will choose that servant to take care of everything He owns. 48 But what will happen if that servant is evil and thinks his Master will not come back soon? 49 He will begin to beat the other servants. He will eat and drink with others who are drunk. 50 Then the Master will come when the servant is not ready, at a time when the servant is not expecting Him. 51 Then the Master will punish that servant. He will send him away to be with the hypocrites, where people will scream and grind their teeth with pain".
