Luke 10:1-2 (NKJV) Mission of the Seventy 10 After these things the Lord appointed 1seventy others also, and asent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, b"The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore cpray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 1 Luke 10:17-20 (NKJV) Return of the Seventy 17 Then wthe 5seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." 18 And He said to them, x"I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, yI give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but 6rather rejoice because zyour names are written in heaven."2 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 (NKJV) The Great Apostasy 2 Now, brethren, aconcerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ band our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 cnot to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of 1Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come dunless the falling away comes first, and ethe man of 2sin is revealed, fthe son of perdition, 4 who opposes and gexalts himself habove all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits 3as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For ithe 4mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only 5He who now restrains will do so until 5He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, jwhom the Lord will consume kwith the breath of His mouth and destroy lwith the brightness of His coming. 3 Revelation 7:9-10 (NKJV) A Multitude from the Great Tribulation 9 After these things I looked, and behold, ha great multitude which no one could number, iof all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, jclothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, k"Salvation belongs to our God lwho sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 4 Matthew 24:1-6 (NKJV) The Temple to Be Destroyed Mark 13:1, 2; Luke 21:5, 6 24 Then aJesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, bnot one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down." The Disciples' Two Questions Mark 13:3, 4; Luke 21:7 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, cthe disciples came to Him privately, saying, d"Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" The Tribulation Mark 13:5-23; Luke 21:5-24 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: e"Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For fmany will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' gand will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of hwars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for 1all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 5 Matthew 24:36-39 (NKJV) Illustration of the Days of Noah Mark 13:32-37; Luke 21:34-36 36 l"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of 6heaven, mbut My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 nFor as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 6 1 NU seventy-two others a Matt. 10:1; Mark 6:7 b Matt. 9:37, 38; John 4:35 c [1 Cor. 3:9]; 2 Thess. 3:1 1 The New King James Version.
