Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Matthew 24

Deli

Wickedness will increase and many people’s love will grow cold. But anyone who remains strong in the faith will be saved.

This good news of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.

You’ll hear about wars, and you’ll hear people saying there are going to be wars. Don’t be afraid. Those things will happen, but that won’t be the end.

Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom will fight against kingdom. People won’t have enough food, and there will be earthquakes in many places. But all of this will be only the beginning of the birth pains.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Many people will come claiming to be me and saying, ‘I’m the Messiah!’ They’ll get many people to follow them.

“Then people will hand you over to be oppressed and killed, and all nations will hate you because of me. At that time, many will turn away from the faith. They will hate one another and hand each other over to their enemies. Many false prophets will appear, and they will trick many people.

Jesus answered, “Don’t let anyone trick you!

So you must also be ready, because the Son of Man will come at a time when you aren’t expecting him.

“So keep watch, because you don’t know on what day your Lord is coming.

“But no one knows what day or time this will happen. The angels in heaven don’t even know, and the Son doesn’t know either—only the Father knows.

False messiahs and false prophets will appear, and they’ll do great signs and miracles. They’ll even try to trick God’s chosen people if they can.

When the Son of Man comes, it will be the same as it was in the days of Noah. In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, getting married and arranging marriages, right up to the day when Noah entered the ark. They didn’t know anything about what was going to happen until the flood came and took them all away. That’s how it will be when the Son of Man comes.
