the year 2012

³²But concerning that day or hour, no one knows, neither the Angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. ³³Take heed, be vigilant, and pray. For you do not know when the time may be. ³⁴It is like a man who, setting out on a sojourn, left behind his house, and gave his servants authority over every work, and instructed the doorkeeper to stand watch. ³⁵Therefore, be vigilant, for you do not know when the lord of the house may arrive: in the evening, or in the middle of the night, or at first light, or in the morning.

¹And know this: that in the last days perilous times will press near. ²Men will be lovers of themselves, greedy, self-exalting, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, ³without affection, without peace, false accusers, unchaste, cruel, without kindness, ⁴traitorous, reckless, self-important, loving pleasure more than God, ⁵even having the appearance of piety while rejecting its virtue. And so, avoid them.

⁷For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.

¹And Jesus departed from the temple and went away. And his disciples approached him, so as to show him the buildings of the temple. ²But he said to them in response: “Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not remain here stone upon stone, which is not torn down.” ³Then, when he was seated at the Mount of Olives, the disciples drew near to him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your advent and of the consummation of the age?” ⁴And answering, Jesus said to them: “Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray. ⁵For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will lead many astray. ⁶For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.

¹⁶For the Lord himself, with a command and with the voice of an Archangel and with a trumpet of God, shall descend from heaven. And the dead, who are in Christ, shall rise up first. ¹⁷Next, we who are alive, who are remaining, shall be taken up quickly together with them into the clouds to meet Christ in the air. And in this way, we shall be with the Lord always.

¹²And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood. ¹³And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs. ¹⁴And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places. ¹⁵And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. ¹⁶And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. ¹⁷For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”

⁷But he said to them: “It is not yours to know the times or the moments, which the Father has set by his own authority.

¹And know this: that in the last days perilous times will press near. ²Men will be lovers of themselves, greedy, self-exalting, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, ³without affection, without peace, false accusers, unchaste, cruel, without kindness, ⁴traitorous, reckless, self-important, loving pleasure more than God, ⁵even having the appearance of piety while rejecting its virtue. And so, avoid them. ⁶For among these are ones who penetrate houses and lead away, like captives, foolish women burdened with sins, who are led away by means of various desires,

³Blessed is he who reads or hears the words of this Prophecy, and who keeps the things that have been written in it. For the time is near.

⁴And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”

¹And know this: that in the last days perilous times will press near.

¹And I saw a beast ascending from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns were ten diadems, and upon its heads were names of blasphemy. ²And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave his own power and great authority to it. ³And I saw that one of its heads seemed to be slain unto death, but his deadly wound was healed. And the entire world was in wonder following the beast. ⁴And they worshiped the dragon, who gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying: “Who is like the beast? And who would be able to fight with it?” ⁵And there was given to it a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies. And authority was given to him to act for forty-two months. ⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.

³⁶But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the Angels of the heavens, but only the Father.

²⁷But he will confirm a covenant with many for one week of years; and for half of the week of years, victim and sacrifice will nearly cease; but there will be in the temple the abomination of desolation. And the desolation will continue even to the consummation and the end.”

¹And know this: that in the last days perilous times will press near. ²Men will be lovers of themselves, greedy, self-exalting, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, ³without affection, without peace, false accusers, unchaste, cruel, without kindness, ⁴traitorous, reckless, self-important, loving pleasure more than God, ⁵even having the appearance of piety while rejecting its virtue. And so, avoid them. ⁶For among these are ones who penetrate houses and lead away, like captives, foolish women burdened with sins, who are led away by means of various desires,

¹The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John; ²he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ. ³Blessed is he who reads or hears the words of this Prophecy, and who keeps the things that have been written in it. For the time is near. ⁴John, to the seven Churches, which are in Asia. Grace and peace to you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are in the sight of his throne, ⁵and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the leader over the kings of the earth, who has loved us and has washed us from our sins with his blood, ⁶and who has made us into a kingdom and into priests for God and for his Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

³saying: “Do no harm to the earth, nor to the sea, nor to the trees, until we seal the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

⁶For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
