The Destruction of the temple and the last days
24:1 And Yeshua (ישוע) went out, and departed from ha mikdash: and His taught ones came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of ha mikdash.
24:2 And Yeshua (ישוע) said unto them, See ye not all these things?
Truly I say unto you:
There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
The first half of the tribulation (3-14)
24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the taught ones came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4 And Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
24:5 For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Moshiach; and shall deceive many.
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Luke 21:11, Rev 6:4, 8
24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for My Name's sake.
24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
24:11 And many false Neviim shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
24:14 And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The Great Tribulation (15-28)
(Mark 13:14-23; Luke 21:20-24)
24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel ha Navi, stand in the set apart place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
24:16 Then let them which be in Yehudah flee into the mountains:
24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Yom Shabbat:
24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Moshiach, or there; believe [it] not.
24:24 For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false Neviim, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25 Hinnei, I have told you before.
24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, hinnei, he is in the desert; go not forth: hinnei, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of BEN ADAM be.
24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
(Mark 13:24-27; Luke 21:25-28)
24:29 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 shamayim, and the powers of the shamayim shall be shaken:
24:30 And then shall appear the sign of BEN ADAM in shamayim: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see BEN ADAM coming in the clouds of shamayim with power and great glory.
24:31 And He shall send His malakhim with a great sound of a Shofar, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of shamayim to the other.
(Mark 13:28-31; Luke 21:29-33)
24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.
24:34 Truly I say unto you:
This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
24:35 Shamayim and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
The day and hour of Moshiach return unknown (36-44)
(Mark 13:32-37; Luke 17:26-30, 34-36)
24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the malakhim of shamayim, but My AVI only.
24:37 But as the days of Noach [were], so shall also the coming of BEN ADAM be.
24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noach entered into the ark,
24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of BEN ADAM be.
24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Adonay doth come.
24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the bayit had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his bayit to be broken up.
24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not BEN ADAM cometh.
Parable of the wise and the evil eved (45-51)
24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise eved, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
24:46 Blessed [is] that eved, whom his master when he cometh shall find so doing.
24:47 Truly I say unto you:
That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
24:48 But and if that evil eved shall say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming;
24:49 And shall begin to smite [his] avadim, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
24:50 The master of that eved shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the tzeviut (hypocrisy): there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
