Luke 19:42-44
19:42 saying, “If you had only known on this day,
even you, the things that make for peace!
But now they are hidden
from your eyes.
19:43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build
an embankment
against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.
19:44 They will demolish you
– you and your children within your walls
– and they will not leave within you one stone
on top of another,
because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
Luke 21:22-24
21:22 because these are days of vengeance,
to fulfill
all that is written.
21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress
on the earth and wrath against this people.
21:24 They
will fall by the edge
of the sword and be led away as captives
among all nations. Jerusalem
will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Luke 23:28-30
23:28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,
do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves
and for your children.
23:29 For this is certain:
The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’
23:30 Then they will begin
to say to the mountains, ‘
Fall on us!’
and to the hills, ‘
Cover us!’
Matthew 12:45
12:45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, so
the last state of that person is worse than the first. It will be that way for this evil generation as well!”
Matthew 22:7
22:7 The
king was furious! He sent his soldiers, and they put those murderers to death
and set their city
on fire.
Matthew 23:35-38
23:35 so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah,
whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
23:36 I tell you the truth,
this generation will be held responsible for all these things!
Judgment on Israel
23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!
23:38 Look, your house is left to you desolate!
Matthew 24:21-29
24:21 For then there will be great suffering
unlike anything that has happened
from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen.
24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
24:23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’
or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him.
24:24 For false messiahs
and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
24:25 Remember,
I have told you ahead of time.
24:26 So then, if someone
says to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’
do not go out, or ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe him.
24:27 For just like the lightning
comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
24:28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures
will gather.
The Arrival of the Son of Man
24:29 “Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
