And Jesus answered them, Take care that no one deceives you; because many will come using my name and saying, "I am the Christ", and they will deceive many .......... ...................................... but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved. This Good News of the kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole world as a witness to all the nations. And then the end will come.
'So when you see the disastrous abomination, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the Holy Place'. (let the reader understand) .............................
If anyone says to you then, "Look, here is the Christ" or, "He is there", do not believe it; for false Christs and false prophets will arise and produce great signs and portents, enough to deceive even the chosen, if that were possible.
There; I have forewarned you.................................................
Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will lose its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven; then too all the peoples of the earth will beat their breasts; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet to gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. - Matt. 24:4-31 -
The Last Judgment. The Day of the Lord will reverse the curse and punishment upon the world by bringing to all of God's enemies. The world will be judged by fire - Is. 66:16 - and all nations will be included in this judgment - Amos 1:3, 2:3 -; Ezek. 25:1-17 - When the Lord spoke of the judgment of the people living at His arrival He pictured humanity as sheep or goats who inherit either everlasting punishment or ETERNAL LIFE. This concept of separation is expressed also through the figures of reaping harvest and sorting out the good and the bad catch from a fishing net.
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. All the nations will be assembled before him and he will separate men from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right hand, Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world .......................................................................the virtuous to eternal life. - Matt. 25:31-46 -
The parable of the darnel explained. Parables of the treasure and of the pearl.
Again the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea that brings in a haul of all kinds. When it is full, the fishermen haul it ashore; then, sitting down, they collect the good ones in a basket and throw away those that are no use. This is how it will be at the end of time: the angels will appear and separate the wicked from the just to throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding teeth. - Matt. 13:36-50 - Rev. 14:14-20 -
Another judgment is portrayed in Revelation 20 and those who are judged will be thrown into the lake of fire if their names are not found in the Book of Life. This judgment is called the second death.
Then I saw a great white throne and the One who was sitting on it. In his presence, earth and sky vanished leaving no trace. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of his throne, while the book of life was opened, and other books opened which were the record of what they had done in their lives by which the dead were judged.
The sea gave up all the dead who were in it.; Death and Hades were emptied of the dead that were in them; and every one was judged according to the way in which he had lived. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the burning lake. This burning lake is the second death; and anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake. - Rev. 20: 11-15 -
The judgments of God at the end of history are preceded by resurrections of the just - Rev. 20:6 - and the unjust - John 5:29; Rev. 20:5 - Two specific resurrections are mentioned in the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible. These will be separated by an interval of 1,000 years. - Daniel 12:2-3; Rev. 20:1-6 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!
I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.
HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
