Jesus Briefing His Disciples Regarding the Last Days...

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many false prophets shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. ~ Matt 24

The Siege of Jerusalem by the Beast and his Armies...

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. ~ Zechariah 12:2,3

The Burden of Damascus...

Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. ~ Is 17:1

The Return of the Lord in Glory...

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;

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.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
~ Luke 21:25-28
