Matthew 24:29-31
Chapter 12 SEPTUAGINT
And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand
up, that stands over the children of thy people: and there
shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not
been from the time that there was a nation on the earth
until that time.
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. 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. 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
At that time thy people shall be delivered,
even every one that is written in the book. And many of
them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some
to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting
shame. And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament, and some of the many righteous as the stars
for ever and ever.
And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book
to the time of the end; until many are taught, and
knowledge is increased.
And I Daniel saw, and, behold, two others stood, on
one side of the bank of the river, and the other on the
other side of the bank of the river. And one said to the
man clothed in linen, who was over the water of the river,
When will be the end of the wonders which thou has
mentioned? And I heard the man clothed in linen, who
was over the water of the river, and he lifted up his right
hand and his left hand to heaven, and sware by him that
lives for ever, that it should be for a time of times and half
a time: when the dispersion is ended they shall know all
these things.
And I heard, but I understood not: and I said, O Lord,
what will be the end of these things? And he said, Go,
Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time
of the end. Many must be tested, and thoroughly
whitened, and tried with fire, and sanctified; but the
transgressors shall transgress: and none of the
transgressors shall understand; but the wise shall
understand. And from the time of the removal of the
perpetual sacrifice, when the abomination of desolation
shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the
thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 13 But go
thou, and rest; for there are yet days and seasons to the
fulfillment of the end; and thou shalt stand in thy lot at the
end of the days.
