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

Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

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.

But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

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

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe 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.

Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

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

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction. He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
