Living_Oracles(i)
3 As he sat upon the Mount of Olives his disciples addressed him privately, saying, Tell us, when will this happen; and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the conclusion of this state?
4 Jesus answering, said to them, Take heed that no man seduce you:
5 for many will assume my character, saying, I am the Messiah, and will seduce many.
6 Nay, you shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars; but take care that you be not alarmed: for all these things must happen; but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will arise against nation; and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in sundry places.
8 Yet these are but the prelude of woes.
9 For they will deliver you to torments and to death, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account.
10 Then many will be ensnared, and will betray their fellows, and hate them.
11 And many false prophets will arise, who will seduce many.
12 And because vice will abound, the love of the greater number will cool.
13 But the man who perseveres to the end shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the Reign shall be published through all the world, for the information of all nations. And then shall come the end.
