1 Thessalonians 5:2

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.

The fierce anger of Yahweh will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”

For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.

But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.

Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, ‘Blow the trumpet in the land!’ Cry aloud and say, ‘Assemble yourselves! Let’s go into the fortified cities!’

“I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.

Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.

For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.

But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.

For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.

Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn’t done it?

The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.

a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.

for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed for him.

Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.

Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in among them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”

In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.

For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:

Yahweh’s anger will not return until he has executed, and until he has performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
