Mark 13

HNV

MSG

1 As he went forth out of the temple, one of his talmidim said to him, "Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings!"
1 As he walked away from the Temple, one of his disciples said, "Teacher, look at that stonework! Those buildings!"
2 Yeshua said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down."
2 Jesus said, "You're impressed by this grandiose architecture? There's not a stone in the whole works that is not going to end up in a heap of rubble."
3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Kefa, Ya`akov, Yochanan, and Andrai asked him privately,
3 Later, as he was sitting on Mount Olives in full view of the Temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew got him off by himself and asked,
4 "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be accomplished?"
4 "Tell us, when is this going to happen? What sign will we get that things are coming to a head?"
5 Yeshua, answering, began to tell them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 Jesus began, "Watch out for doomsday deceivers.
6 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and will lead many astray.
6 Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, 'I'm the One.' They will deceive a lot of people.
7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don't be troubled. For those must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 When you hear of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history, and no sign of the end.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
8 Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. But these things are nothing compared to what's coming.
9 But watch yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils. You will be beaten in synagogues. Before governors and kings you will stand for my sake, for a testimony to them.
9 "And watch out! They're going to drag you into court. And then it will go from bad to worse, dog-eat-dog, everyone at your throat because you carry my name. You're placed there as sentinels to truth.
10 The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
10 The Message has to be preached all across the world.
11 When they lead you away and deliver you up, don't be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Ruach HaKodesh.
11 "When they bring you, betrayed, into court, don't worry about what you'll say. When the time comes, say what's on your heart - the Holy Spirit will make his witness in and through you.
12 "Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
12 "It's going to be brother killing brother, father killing child, children killing parents.
13 You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
13 There's no telling who will hate you because of me. "Stay with it - that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved.
14 But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniyel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Yehudah flee to the mountains,
14 "But be ready to run for it when you see the monster of desecration set up where it should never be. You who can read, make sure you understand what I'm talking about. If you're living in Judea at the time, run for the hills;
15 and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.
15 if you're working in the yard, don't go back to the house to get anything;
16 Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
16 if you're out in the field, don't go back to get your coat.
17 But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!
17 Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard.
18 Pray that your flight won't be in the winter.
18 Hope and pray this won't happen in the middle of winter.
19 For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
19 "These are going to be hard days - nothing like it from the time God made the world right up to the present. And there'll be nothing like it again.
20 Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect's sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
20 If he let the days of trouble run their course, nobody would make it. But because of God's chosen people, those he personally chose, he has already intervened.
21 Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'Look, there!' don't believe it.
21 "If anyone tries to flag you down, calling out, 'Here's the Messiah!' or points, 'There he is!' don't fall for it.
22 For there will arise false messiahs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, also the elect.
22 Fake Messiahs and lying preachers are going to pop up everywhere. Their impressive credentials and dazzling performances will pull the wool over the eyes of even those who ought to know better.
23 But you watch. "Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
23 So watch out. I've given you fair warning.
24 But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light,
24 "Following those hard times, Sun will fade out, moon cloud over,
25 the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
25 Stars fall out of the sky, cosmic powers tremble.
26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
26 "And then they'll see the Son of Man enter in grand style, his Arrival filling the sky - no one will miss it!
27 Then he will send forth his angels, and will gather together his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the eretz to the ends of the sky.
27 He'll dispatch the angels; they will pull in the chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole.
28 "Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
28 "Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer's just around the corner.
29 even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.
29 And so it is with you. When you see all these things, you know he is at the door.
30 Most assuredly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
30 Don't take this lightly. I'm not just saying this for some future generation, but for this one, too - these things will happen.
31 Heaven and eretz will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
31 Sky and earth will wear out; my words won't wear out.
32 But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but only the Father.
32 "But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father.

34 "It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch.
34 It's like a man who takes a trip, leaving home and putting his servants in charge, each assigned a task, and commanding the gatekeeper to stand watch.
35 Watch therefore, for you don't know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning;
35 So, stay at your post, watching. You have no idea when the homeowner is returning, whether evening, midnight, cockcrow, or morning.
36 lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping.
36 You don't want him showing up unannounced, with you asleep on the job.
37 What I tell you, I tell all: Watch."
37 I say it to you, and I'm saying it to all: Stay at your post. Keep watch."
