9 1 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: 2 for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by . P 10 Then said he unto them, 1 Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: P 11 1 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pesti- lences; and fearful sights and 3 great signs shall there be from heaven. PP 12 But before all these, 4 they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. P 13 4 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. P 14 4 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: P 15 4 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. P 16 4 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. P 17 4 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. P 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls. The promise of an Antichrist (Fulfilled - Rev 13:5,6) 20 5 And when ye shall see Jerusalem 6 compassed with 7 armies, then know that 8 the desolation thereof is nigh. P PP 21 5 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to themountains; 6 and let themwhich are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. P P 22 6 For these be the 5 DAYS OF VENGEANCE , that all things which are written may be fulfilled. P P The characteristics of the last 3½ years of Daniel’s Seventieth Week (Dan 9:24-27) (Called the Great Tribulation; DAY OF THE LORD )

23 6 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in 5 THOSE DAYS ! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. P P 24 5 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, 6 and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be 9 trodden down of the Gentiles, 10 until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. P P P The promise of the sun, moon, and stars to be darkened (Fulfilled - Rev 6:12-17) 25 11 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; P 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things 12 which are coming on the earth: 11 for the powers of heaven shall be shaken . P The promise of CHRIST’S Second Coming (Fulfilled - Rev 19:11-21) 27 10 And then shall they see the SON OF MAN coming in a cloud with power and great glory. P 28 And when 5 these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your 10 REDEMPTION draweth Oigh. P Parable #37 - The fig tree [A lesson for the saved - Learn to stay awake spiritually by carefully and patiently studying the Second Coming of CHRIST . It will not only prepare you, it will purify you as well - I Jn 3:2-3)] (S/A - Mt 24:32-44 & Mk 13:28-32) 29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the 13 fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see 5 these things come to pass, know ye that the 14 kingdom of God is nigh at hand. PP 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, 5 till all be fulfilled. P The promise to destroy this world and its system (Fulfilled - Rev 20:11) 33 15 Heaven and earth shall pass away:

21:9 According to Dan 7:8,20,24, the Antichrist will rise to power by conquering three of the ten horns (powers) described for us in the book of Daniel (See also - Rev 6:1-2). These quick and decisive victories (probably concerning the three global markets - Rev 13:16-18) will lead to a quickly needed solution, followed by a temporary global peace on earth for the first 3½ years of the Seven-Year Tribulation Period (Daniel’s Seventieth Week). Even Israel will find herself persuaded to let down her guard (Ezk 38:11). Revelation 13:4 states, “…Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him.”
