  Luke Chapter 21 And he looked up and saw the rich putting their
• 0:04
  gifts into the treasury. And he saw a poor widow putting
• 0:07
  in two small copper coins. And he said, Truly, I say to
• 0:10
  you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, for they all
• 0:14
  out of their surplus put into the offering, But she out of her
• 0:17
  poverty put in all that she had to live on.
• 0:20
  And while some were talking about the temple, that it was
• 0:23
  adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, he said, As
• 0:27
  for these things which you are looking at, the days will come
• 0:30
  in which there will not be left one stone upon another which
• 0:33
  will not be torn down. They questioned him, saying,
• 0:36
  Teacher, when therefore will these things happen, and what
• 0:40
  will be the sign that these things are about to take place?
• 0:43
  And he said, See to it that you are not misled, for many will
• 0:46
  come in my name, saying, I am he and the time is near.
• 0:50
  Do not go after them. When you hear of wars and
• 0:53
  disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must
• 0:56
  take place first, but the end does not follow immediately.
• 1:00
  Then he continued by saying to them, Nation will rise against
• 1:04
  nation and Kingdom against Kingdom, and there will be great
• 1:06
  earthquakes and in various places plagues and famines, and
• 1:10
  there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
• 1:13
  But before all these things they will lay their hands on you and
• 1:17
  will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and
• 1:20
  prisons, bringing you before kings and governors.
• 1:22
  For my name's sake. It will lead to an opportunity
• 1:25
  for your testimony. So make up your minds not to
• 1:28
  prepare beforehand to defend yourselves.
• 1:31
  For I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your
• 1:33
  opponents will be able to resist or refute.
• 1:36
  But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and
• 1:39
  relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
• 1:43
  And you will be hated by all because of My name.
• 1:45
  Yet not a hair of your head will perish.
• 1:48
  By your endurance you will gain your lives.
• 1:51
  But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then
• 1:54
  recognize that her desolation is near.
• 1:57
  Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those
• 2:00
  who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in
• 2:03
  the country must not enter the city, because these are days of
• 2:06
  vengeance, so that all things which are written will be
• 2:09
  fulfilled. Woe to those who are pregnant
• 2:11
  and to those who are nursing babies in those days.
• 2:14
  For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this
• 2:17
  people, and they will fall by the edge of the sword and will
• 2:20
  be LED captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be
• 2:23
  trampled under foot by the Gentiles.
• 2:25
  Until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
• 2:28
  There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the
• 2:31
  earth. Dismay among nations in
• 2:34
  perplexity at the roaring of the sea, in the waves, men fainting
• 2:37
  from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon
• 2:40
  the world. For the powers of the heavens
• 2:42
  will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of
• 2:45
  Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
• 2:49
  But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and
• 2:51
  lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
• 2:55
  Then he told them a parable. Behold the fig tree and all the
• 2:58
  trees. As soon as they put forth
• 3:01
  leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now
• 3:04
  near. So you also, when you see these
• 3:06
  things happening, recognize that the Kingdom of God is near.
• 3:10
  Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away
• 3:12
  until all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away,
• 3:16
  but my words will not pass away. Be on guard so that your hearts
• 3:20
  will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and
• 3:23
  the worries of life, and that day will not come on you
• 3:26
  suddenly like a trap, for it will come upon all those who
• 3:29
  dwell on the face of all the earth.
• 3:31
  But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have
• 3:33
  strength to escape all these things that are about to take
• 3:36
  place and to stand before the Son of Man.
• 3:40
  Now during the day he was teaching in the temple, but at
• 3:42
  evening he would go out and spend the night on the mount
• 3:44
  that is called Olivet, and all the people would get up early in
• 3:47
  the morning to come to him in the temple to listen to him.
