Future Destruction of the Temple
(Mk. 13:1-31; Lk. 21:5-33)
24 1Jesus left the temple* area and was walking away. But his followers came to
him to show him the temple's buildings. 2Jesus asked the followers, "See all these
buildings? I tell you the truth. [All these buildings will be destroyed]. Every
stone will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left on another."
3Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives.* The followers came
to be alone with Jesus. They said, "Tell us when these things will happen. And what
will happen to show us that it is time for you to come again and time for the world*
to end?" 4Jesus answered: "Be careful! Don't let any person fool you. 5Many people
will come and use my name. They will say, 'I am the Christ.* ' And they will fool
many people. 6You will hear about wars that are being fought. And you will hear
stories about other wars beginning. But don't be afraid. These things must happen
before the end comes. 7Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms will fight
against other kingdoms. There will be times when there is no food for people to
eat. And there will be earthquakes in different places. 8These things are like the
first pains when something new is born. 9"Then people will treat you badly. People
will give you [to the rulers] to be persecuted (hurt) and killed. All people will
hate you. All these things will happen to you because you believe in me. 10At that
time, many believers will lose their faith. They will turn against each other and
hate each other. 11Many false prophets* will come. They will cause many people to
believe wrong things. 12There will be more and more evil in the world. So most believers
will stop showing love. 13But the person that continues strong to the end will be
saved. 14The Good News about [God's] kingdom will be told in the whole world. It
will be told to every nation. Then the end will come. 15"Daniel the prophet* spoke
about 'the terrible thing that causes destruction.'* You will see this terrible
thing standing in the holy place (the temple)." (You that read this should understand
what it means.) 16"At that time, the people in Judea should run away to the mountains.
17People should run away without wasting the time to stop for anything. If a person
is on the roof of his house, he must not go down to get things out of his house.
18If a person is in the field, he must not go back to get his coat. 19At that time,
it will be bad for women that are pregnant or have small babies! 20Pray that it
will not be winter or a Sabbath day* when these things happen and you have to run
away. 21Why? Because at that time there will be much trouble. There will be more
trouble than has ever happened since the beginning of the world. And nothing as
bad as that will ever happen again. 22God has decided to make that terrible time
short. If that time were not made short, then no person would continue living. But
God will make that time short to help the people he has chosen. 23At that time,
some person might say to you, 'Look, there is the Christ!* ' Or another person might
say, 'There he is!' But don't believe them. 24False Christs and false prophets*
will come and do great things and miracles.* They will do these things to the people
God has chosen. They will do these things to try to fool his people, if that is
possible. 25Now I have warned you about this before it happens. 26"Some person might
tell you, 'The Christ* is there in the desert!' But don't go into the desert to
look for the Christ. Another person might say, 'There is the Christ in that room!'
But don't believe that. 27When the Son of Man* comes, he will be seen by all people.
It will be like lightning flashing in the sky that can be seen everywhere. 28[My
coming will be clear, the same as] any time you see vultures* gathering, you know
there is a dead body.
