1 Th 5:1-6 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you. For
you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night when they are saying,
Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child: and they shall in
no wise escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a thief: for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor
of darkness; so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in
the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, since we are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore
exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.
2Th 2:1-12 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and our gathering together unto him; to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind,
nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at
hand; let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition, he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that
is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God. Remember ye not, that, when I
was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be
revealed in his own season. For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth
now, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay
with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; even he, whose coming is
according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of
unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be
judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the
great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Heb 11:5-6 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God
translated him for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing unto God
and without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing unto him; for they that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.
1 Joh 2:28 and now my little children, abide
in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed
before him at his coming.
Note...
Matthew chapters 24 and 25, Mark chapter 13, and Luke chapters 17 and 21 also deal
with the end times. They also are the most used references for those who believe the Church will go through the
tribulation but in these scriptures what we really see is Israel going
through the tribulation and the gathering of tribulation saints to Israel.
