JERRY'S CHRISTIAN LINKS
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples 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?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure until the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world
for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whosoever readeth let him understand:)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anythingout of his house:
Neiter let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert;
go not forth: behold he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west;
so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from Heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in Heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven
with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender,
and puteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things,
know that it is near, even at the doors.
-Matthew 24:3-33.
Things to Remember:
1. Jesus Christ is Lord.
2. Jesus is the Divine Son of God.
3. Jesus was born supernaturally of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary.
4. The Holy Bible is the Inspired Word of God by the Holy Spirit about Jesus Christ.
5. Jesus Christ died on the Cross to save us from our sins.
6. On the third day Jesus was resurrected from the dead.
7. We are saved by Grace because Christ died on the Cross for us, not by works.
8. There is nothing we can do to save ourselves without Jesus Christ.
9. God sends us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to guide our actions on earth.
10. Jesus Christ has assured us of His Second Coming to take us as Saints into Heaven.
About this time lived Jesus, a wise man, if it be proper to call him a man;
for he was a doer of wonderful works,- a teacher of such men as receive the truth
with pleasure. He drew over to him many of the Jews and many of the Greeks. He
was the Christ. And when Pilate, at the instigation of the principal men among
us, had condemned him to the cross, those who had loved him at first did not
forsake him. For he appeared to them alive again on the third day; the divine
prophets having foretold these and many other wonderful things concerning him.
And the sect of Christians, so named after him, are not extinct to this day.
