Battering Ram (Mark) 13

1 As He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!”

2 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) replied, “See these great buildings? There will not be left one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”

3 As He sat on the mount of Olives near the temple, Stone (Peter), Supplanter (James), I AM is a Gracious Giver (John), and Manly (Andrew) asked Him privately,

4 “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

5 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them, “Be careful lest any man deceive you:

6 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am Christ, ' and will deceive many.

7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be troubled: for such things must be; but the end will not be yet.

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in diverse places, and there will be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

9 But be warned. They will deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues you will be beaten, and you will be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

11 But when they lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you will speak, neither premeditate: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

11 Now brothers will betray brothers to death, and the fathers, sons; and children will rise against their parents and will cause them to be put to death.

13 And you will be hated of all men for My name's sake: but He that endures to the end, the same will be saved.

14 But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let them that be in Land of Praise (Judaea) flee to the mountains:

15 Let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter therein, to take anything out of his house:

16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again to take up his garment.

17 But woe to those that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

18 Pray ye that your flight is not in the winter.

19 For in those days will be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time, neither will be.

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He has chosen, He has shortened the days.

21 And then if any man will say to you, ‘Look, here is Christ; or, look, he is there; do not believe him:

22 For false Christs and false prophets will rise, and will show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

23 But take heed: behold, I have warned you about all these things.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light,

25 The stars of heaven will fall, and the powers that are in heaven will be shaken.

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

27 Then He will send His angels and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost parts of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near:

29 So you, in like manner, when you see these things come to pass, know that it is near, even at the doors.

30 Truly I tell you that this generation will not pass until all these things are done.

31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

32 But of that day and that hour no man knows, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take heed, watch and pray: for you do not know when the time is.

34 Because the Son of Man is like a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch therefore: for you know not when the master of the house comes, in the evening, or midnight, or at the cockcrow (3 am), or in the morning:

36 Lest he come suddenly and find you sleeping.

37 And what I say to you I say to all, ‘Watch.’”
