Matthew 24:42
King James Version
42 Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour
your Lord doth come.
Are we in the last days?
What are we to expect?
What does the Bible say?
Daniel 12:1-4
King James Version
12 And at that time shall Michael stand up,
the great prince
which standeth for the children of thy people:
and there shall be a time of trouble,
such as never was
since there was a nation even to that same time:
and at that time thy people shall be delivered,
every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep
in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life,
and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise
shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness
as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel,
shut up the words, and seal the book,
even to the time of the end:
many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.
Joel 2:28-32
King James Version
28 And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants
and upon the handmaids in those days
will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders
in the heavens and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood,
before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord
shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance,
as the Lord hath said,
and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
Matthew 12:36-37
King James Version
36 But I say unto you,
That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 24:14
King James Version
14 And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world
for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:29-31
King James Version
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming
in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:37-39
King James Version
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:48-51
King James Version
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants,
and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day
when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder,
and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Luke 21:25-28
King James Version
25 And there shall be signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity;
the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear,
and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth:
for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass,
then look up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord
so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
2 Timothy 3:1-7
King James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning,
and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
Hebrews 1:1-2
King James Version
1 God,
who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
James 3:1
King James Version

be not many masters,
knowing that we shall receive
the greater condemnation.
2 Peter 3:1-4
King James Version
3 This second epistle, beloved,
I now write unto you;
in both which I stir up your pure minds
by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words
which were spoken before by the holy prophets,
and of the commandment of us
the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first,
that there shall come in the last days scoffers,
walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying,
Where is the promise of his coming?
for since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation.
2 Peter 3:5-7
King James Version
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth,
which are now,
by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:8
King James Version
8 But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:9
King James Version
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:10
King James Version
10 But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
Knowing all these, how are to we be then?
How are we to conduct ourselves?
How shall we be saved?
Who shall we believe?
Matthew 24:42-43
King James Version
42 Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this,
that if the goodman of the house
had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Matthew 24:44-47
King James Version
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant,
whom his lord hath made ruler over his household,
to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you,
That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

I am the way, the truth, and the life:

but by me.

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blameless
unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:11-13
King James Version
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting
unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we,
according to his promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2 Peter 3:14
King James Version
14 Wherefore, beloved,
seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot,
and blameless.
2 Peter 3:17-18
King James Version
17 Ye therefore, beloved,
seeing ye know these things before,
beware lest ye also,
being led away with the error of the wicked,
fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever.
Amen.
