Josh.1.1

After the death of Moses the servant of GOD, GOD spoke to Joshua, Moses' assistant:

Josh.1.1

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide:

Josh.1.1

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, saying:

Josh.1.1

After the death of Moses the LORD's servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' assistant. He said,

Josh.1.2

"Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I'm giving to the People of Israel.

Josh.1.2

"Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them-to the Israelites.

Josh.1.2

"Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel.

Josh.1.2

"Now that my servant Moses is dead, you must lead my people across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them.

Josh.1.3

I'm giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on--just as I promised Moses.

Josh.1.3

I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

Josh.1.3

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

Josh.1.3

I promise you what I promised Moses: `Everywhere you go, you will be on land I have given you--

Josh.1.4

From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River--all the Hittite country--and then west to the Great Sea. It's all yours.

Josh.1.4

Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates-all the Hittite country-to the Great Sea on the west.

Josh.1.4

From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

Josh.1.4

from the Negev Desert in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River on the east to the Mediterranean Sea on the west, and all the land of the Hittites.'

Josh.1.5

All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you.

Josh.1.5

No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Josh.1.5

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

Josh.1.5

No one will be able to stand their ground against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.

Josh.1.6

Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors.

Josh.1.6

"Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.

Josh.1.6

Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

Josh.1.6

"Be strong and courageous, for you will lead my people to possess all the land I swore to give their ancestors.

Josh.1.7

Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going.

Josh.1.7

Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

Josh.1.7

Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

Josh.1.7

Be strong and very courageous. Obey all the laws Moses gave you. Do not turn away from them, and you will be successful in everything you do.

Josh.1.8

And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed.

Josh.1.8

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Josh.1.8

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Josh.1.8

Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed.

Josh.1.9

Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. GOD, your God, is with you every step you take."

Josh.1.9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Josh.1.9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

Josh.1.9

I command you--be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

Josh.1.10

Then Joshua gave orders to the people's leaders:

Josh.1.10

So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:

Josh.1.10

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

Josh.1.10

Joshua then commanded the leaders of Israel,

Josh.1.11

"Go through the camp and give this order to the people: "Pack your bags. In three days you will cross this Jordan River to enter and take the land GOD, your God, is giving you to possess.'"

Josh.1.11

"Go through the camp and tell the people, 'Get your supplies ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you for your own.'"

Josh.1.11

"Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, "Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess."'

Josh.1.11

"Go through the camp and tell the people to get their provisions ready. In three days you will cross the Jordan River and take possession of the land the LORD your God has given you."

Josh.1.12

Then Joshua addressed the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He said,

Josh.1.12

But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,

Josh.1.12

And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying,

Josh.1.12

Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. He told them,

Josh.1.13

"Remember what Moses the servant of GOD commanded you: GOD, your God, gives you rest and he gives you this land.

Josh.1.13

"Remember the command that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: 'The LORD your God is giving you rest and has granted you this land.'

Josh.1.13

"Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, "The LORD your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.'

Josh.1.13

"Remember what Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you: `The LORD your God is giving you rest and has given you this land.'

Josh.1.14

Your wives, your children, and your livestock can stay here east of the Jordan, the country Moses gave you; but you, tough soldiers all, must cross the River in battle formation, leading your brothers, helping them

Josh.1.14

Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, fully armed, must cross over ahead of your brothers. You are to help your brothers

Josh.1.14

Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,

Josh.1.14

Your wives, children, and cattle may remain here on the east side of the Jordan River, but your warriors, fully armed, must lead the other tribes across the Jordan to help them conquer their territory. Stay with them

Josh.1.15

until GOD, your God, gives your brothers a place of rest just as he has done for you. They also will take possession of the land that GOD, your God, is giving them. Then you will be free to return to your possession, given to you by Moses the servant of GOD across the Jordan to the east."

Josh.1.15

until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise."

Josh.1.15

until the LORD has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise."

Josh.1.15

until the LORD gives rest to them as he has given rest to you, and until they, too, possess the land the LORD your God is giving them. Only then may you settle here on the east side of the Jordan River in the land that Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave you."

Josh.1.16

They answered Joshua: "Everything you commanded us, we'll do. Wherever you send us, we'll go.

Josh.1.16

Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

Josh.1.16

So they answered Joshua, saying, "All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

Josh.1.16

They answered Joshua, "We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us.

Josh.1.17

We obeyed Moses to the letter; we'll also obey you--we just pray that GOD, your God, will be with you as he was with Moses.

Josh.1.17

Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses.

Josh.1.17

Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

Josh.1.17

We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses. And may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses.

Josh.1.18

Anyone who questions what you say and refuses to obey whatever you command him will be put to death. Strength! Courage!"^

Josh.1.18

Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey your words, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!"

Josh.1.18

Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."

Josh.1.18

Anyone who rebels against your word and does not obey your every command will be put to death. So be strong and courageous!"

Josh.2.1

Joshua son of Nun secretly sent out from Shittim two men as spies: "Go. Look over the land. Check out Jericho." They left and arrived at the house of a harlot named Rahab and stayed there.

Josh.2.1

Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. "Go, look over the land," he said, "especially Jericho." So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.

Josh.2.1

Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.

Josh.2.1

Then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia. He instructed them, "Spy out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho." So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night.

Josh.2.2

The king of Jericho was told, "We've just learned that men arrived tonight to spy out the land. They're from the People of Israel."

Josh.2.2

The king of Jericho was told, "Look! Some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land."

Josh.2.2

And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country."

Josh.2.2

But someone told the king of Jericho, "Some Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land."

Josh.2.3

The king of Jericho sent word to Rahab: "Bring out the men who came to you to stay the night in your house. They're spies; they've come to spy out the whole country."

Josh.2.3

So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: "Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land."

Josh.2.3

So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country."

Josh.2.3

So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab: "Bring out the men who have come into your house. They are spies sent here to discover the best way to attack us."

Josh.2.4

The woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, "Yes, two men did come to me, but I didn't know where they'd come from.

Josh.2.4

But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from.

Josh.2.4

Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.

Josh.2.4

Rahab, who had hidden the two men, replied, "The men were here earlier, but I didn't know where they were from.

Josh.2.5

At dark, when the gate was about to be shut, the men left. But I have no idea where they went. Hurry up! Chase them--you can still catch them!"

Josh.2.5

At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, the men left. I don't know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You may catch up with them."

Josh.2.5

And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them."

Josh.2.5

They left the city at dusk, as the city gates were about to close, and I don't know where they went. If you hurry, you can probably catch up with them."

Josh.2.6

(She had actually taken them up on the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax that were spread out for her on the roof.)

Josh.2.6

(But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax she had laid out on the roof.)

Josh.2.6

(But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.)

Josh.2.6

(But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them beneath piles of flax.)

Josh.2.7

So the men set chase down the Jordan road toward the fords. As soon as they were gone, the gate was shut.

Josh.2.7

So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

Josh.2.7

Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

Josh.2.7

So the king's men went looking for the spies along the road leading to the shallow crossing places of the Jordan River. And as soon as the king's men had left, the city gate was shut.

Josh.2.8

Before the spies were down for the night, the woman came up to them on the roof

Josh.2.8

Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof

Josh.2.8

Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,

Josh.2.8

Before the spies went to sleep that night, Rahab went up on the roof to talk with them.

Josh.2.9

and said, "I know that GOD has given you the land. We're all afraid. Everyone in the country feels hopeless.

Josh.2.9

and said to them, "I know that the LORD has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you.

Josh.2.9

and said to the men: "I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.

Josh.2.9

"I know the LORD has given you this land," she told them. "We are all afraid of you. Everyone is living in terror.

Josh.2.10

We heard how GOD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you left Egypt, and what he did to the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put under a holy curse and destroyed.

Josh.2.10

We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed.

Josh.2.10

For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

Josh.2.10

For we have heard how the LORD made a dry path for you through the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.

Josh.2.11

We heard it and our hearts sank. We all had the wind knocked out of us. And all because of you, you and GOD, your God, God of the heavens above and God of the earth below.

Josh.2.11

When we heard of it, our hearts melted and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.

Josh.2.11

And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

Josh.2.11

No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! No one has the courage to fight after hearing such things. For the LORD your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.

Josh.2.12

"Now promise me by GOD. I showed you mercy; now show my family mercy. And give me some tangible proof, a guarantee

Josh.2.12

Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that you will show kindness to my family, because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign

Josh.2.12

Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token,

Josh.2.12

Now swear to me by the LORD that you will be kind to me and my family since I have helped you. Give me some guarantee that

Josh.2.13

of life for my father and mother, my brothers and sisters--everyone connected with my family. Save our souls from death!"

Josh.2.13

that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and that you will save us from death."

Josh.2.13

and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death."

Josh.2.13

when Jericho is conquered, you will let me live, along with my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all their families."

Josh.2.14

"Our lives for yours!" said the men. "But don't tell anyone our business. When GOD turns this land over to us, we'll do right by you in loyal mercy."

Josh.2.14

"Our lives for your lives!" the men assured her. "If you don't tell what we are doing, we will treat you kindly and faithfully when the LORD gives us the land."

Josh.2.14

So the men answered her, "Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

Josh.2.14

"We offer our own lives as a guarantee for your safety," the men agreed. "If you don't betray us, we will keep our promise when the LORD gives us the land."

Josh.2.15

She lowered them down out a window with a rope because her house was on the city wall to the outside.

Josh.2.15

So she let them down by a rope through the window, for the house she lived in was part of the city wall.

Josh.2.15

Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall; she dwelt on the wall.

Josh.2.15

Then, since Rahab's house was built into the city wall, she let them down by a rope through the window.

Josh.2.16

She told them, "Run for the hills so your pursuers won't find you. Hide out for three days and give your pursuers time to return. Then get on your way."

Josh.2.16

Now she had said to them, "Go to the hills so the pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there three days until they return, and then go on your way."

Josh.2.16

And she said to them, "Get to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you. Hide there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward you may go your way."

Josh.2.16

"Escape to the hill country," she told them. "Hide there for three days until the men who are searching for you have returned; then go on your way."

Josh.2.17

The men told her, "In order to keep this oath you made us swear,

Josh.2.17

The men said to her, "This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us

Josh.2.17

So the men said to her: "We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear,

Josh.2.17

Before they left, the men told her, "We can guarantee your safety

Josh.2.18

here is what you must do: Hang this red rope out the window through which you let us down and gather your entire family with you in your house--father, mother, brothers, and sisters.

Josh.2.18

unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house.

Josh.2.18

unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household to your own home.

Josh.2.18

only if you leave this scarlet rope hanging from the window. And all your family members--your father, mother, brothers, and all your relatives--must be here inside the house.

Josh.2.19

Anyone who goes out the doors of your house into the street and is killed, it's his own fault--we aren't responsible. But for everyone within the house we take full responsibility. If anyone lays a hand on one of them, it's our fault.

Josh.2.19

If anyone goes outside your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head; we will not be responsible. As for anyone who is in the house with you, his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

Josh.2.19

So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

Josh.2.19

If they go out into the street, they will be killed, and we cannot be held to our oath. But we swear that no one inside this house will be killed--not a hand will be laid on any of them.

Josh.2.20

But if you tell anyone of our business here, the oath you made us swear is canceled--we're no longer responsible."

Josh.2.20

But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear."

Josh.2.20

And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear."

Josh.2.20

If you betray us, however, we are not bound by this oath in any way."

Josh.2.21

She said, "If that's what you say, that's the way it is," and sent them off. They left and she hung the red rope out the window.

Josh.2.21

"Agreed," she replied. "Let it be as you say." So she sent them away and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window.

Josh.2.21

Then she said, "According to your words, so be it." And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.

Josh.2.21

"I accept your terms," she replied. And she sent them on their way, leaving the scarlet rope hanging from the window.

Josh.2.22

They headed for the hills and stayed there for three days until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers had looked high and low but found nothing.

Josh.2.22

When they left, they went into the hills and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had searched all along the road and returned without finding them.

Josh.2.22

They departed and went to the mountain, and stayed there three days until the pursuers returned. The pursuers sought them all along the way, but did not find them.

Josh.2.22

The spies went up into the hill country and stayed there three days. The men who were chasing them had searched everywhere along the road, but they finally returned to the city without success.

Josh.2.23

The men headed back. They came down out of the hills, crossed the river, and returned to Joshua son of Nun and reported all their experiences.

Josh.2.23

Then the two men started back. They went down out of the hills, forded the river and came to Joshua son of Nun and told him everything that had happened to them.

Josh.2.23

So the two men returned, descended from the mountain, and crossed over; and they came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all that had befallen them.

Josh.2.23

Then the two spies came down from the hill country, crossed the Jordan River, and reported to Joshua all that had happened to them.

Josh.2.24

They told Joshua, "Yes! GOD has given the whole country to us. Everybody there is in a state of panic because of us."

Josh.2.24

They said to Joshua, "The LORD has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the people are melting in fear because of us."

Josh.2.24

And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the country are fainthearted because of us."

Josh.2.24

"The LORD will certainly give us the whole land," they said, "for all the people in the land are terrified of us."

Luke.21.5

One day people were standing around talking about the Temple, remarking how beautiful it was, the splendor of its stonework and memorial gifts. Jesus said,

Luke.21.5

Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said,

Luke.21.5

Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,

Luke.21.5

Some of his disciples began talking about the beautiful stonework of the Temple and the memorial decorations on the walls. But Jesus said,

Luke.21.6

"All this you're admiring so much--the time is coming when every stone in that building will end up in a heap of rubble."

Luke.21.6

"As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down."

Luke.21.6

"These things which you see--the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down."

Luke.21.6

"The time is coming when all these things will be so completely demolished that not one stone will be left on top of another."

Luke.21.7

They asked him, "Teacher, when is this going to happen? What clue will we get that it's about to take place?"

Luke.21.7

"Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"

Luke.21.7

So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?"

Luke.21.7

"Teacher," they asked, "when will all this take place? And will there be any sign ahead of time?"

Luke.21.8

He said, "Watch out for the doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, "I'm the One,' or, "The end is near.' Don't fall for any of that.

Luke.21.8

He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.

Luke.21.8

And He said: "Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, "I am He,' and, "The time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them.

Luke.21.8

He replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name, claiming to be the Messiah and saying, 'The time has come!' But don't believe them.

Luke.21.9

When you hear of wars and uprisings, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history and no sign of the end."

Luke.21.9

When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

Luke.21.9

But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."

Luke.21.9

And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don't panic. Yes, these things must come, but the end won't follow immediately."

Luke.21.10
