The Olivet Discourse
(Matt 24:3) And as he sat upon the
mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto him privately, saying, Tell us,
when shall these things be? and what
shall be the sign of thy coming, and
of the end of the world?
The Olivet Discourse
(Matt 24:4-6) 4And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no
man deceive you. 5For many shall
come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of
wars: see that ye be not troubled: for
all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet.
The Olivet Discourse
(Matt 24:4-6) 4And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no
man deceive you. 5For many shall
come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And
ye shall hear of wars and rumours of
wars: see that ye be not troubled: for
all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet.
The Olivet Discourse
(Matt 24:7-8) 7For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places. 8All these are the
beginning of sorrows.
The Key Event
(Matt 24:15-16) 15When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16Then let them which be in Judaea
flee into the mountains:
The Flight From Judea
(Matt 24:17-20) 17Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any
thing out of his house: 18Neither let
him which is in the field return back
to take his clothes. 19And woe unto
them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days! 20But
pray ye that your flight be not in the
winter, neither on the sabbath day:
The Great Tribulation
(Matt 24:21-22) 21For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be. 22And except
those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the
elect’s sake those days shall be
shortened.

Daniel 9:1
In the first year of Darius
the son of Ahasuerus, of the
seed of the Medes, which was
made king over the realm of
the Chaldeans;
Daniel 9:2
In the first year of his reign I
Daniel understood by books
the number of the years,
whereof the word of the LORD
came to Jeremiah the prophet,
that he would accomplish
seventy years in the
desolations of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 25:11-12
11And
this whole land shall be a
desolation, and an astonishment; and
these nations shall serve the king of
Babylon seventy years. 12And it shall
come to pass, when seventy years are
accomplished, that I will punish the
king of Babylon, and that nation,
saith the LORD, for their iniquity,
and the land of the Chaldeans, and
will make it perpetual desolations.
Jeremiah 29:10
For thus saith the LORD, That after
seventy years be accomplished at
Babylon I will visit you, and
perform my good word toward you,
in causing you to return to this
place.
Daniel 9:3
And I set my face unto the
Lord God, to seek by prayer
and supplications, with
fasting, and sackcloth, and
ashes:
Daniel 9:4
And I prayed unto the LORD
my God, and made my
confession, and said, O Lord,
the great and dreadful God,
keeping the covenant and
mercy to them that love him,
and to them that keep his
commandments;
Daniel 9:5
We have sinned, and have
committed iniquity, and have
done wickedly, and have
rebelled, even by departing
from thy precepts and from
thy judgments:
Daniel 9:6
Neither have we hearkened
unto thy servants the
prophets, which spake in thy
name to our kings, our princes,
and our fathers, and to all the
people of the land.
Daniel 9:7
O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto
thee, but unto us confusion of faces,
as at this day; to the men of Judah,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and unto all Israel, that are near,
and that are far off, through all the
countries whither thou hast driven
them, because of their trespass that
they have trespassed against thee.
Daniel 9:8
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion
of face, to our kings, to our
princes, and to our fathers,
because we have sinned against
thee.
Daniel 9:9
To the Lord our God belong
mercies and forgivenesses,
though we have rebelled against
him;
Daniel 9:10
Neither have we obeyed the
voice of the LORD our God, to
walk in his laws, which he set
before us by his servants the
prophets.
Daniel 9:11
Yea, all Israel have transgressed
thy law, even by departing, that
they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured
upon us, and the oath that is
written in the law of Moses the
servant of God, because we have
sinned against him.
Daniel 9:12
And he hath confirmed his
words, which he spake against
us, and against our judges that
judged us, by bringing upon us a
great evil: for under the whole
heaven hath not been done as
hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:13
As it is written in the law of
Moses, all this evil is come upon
us: yet made we not our prayer
before the LORD our God, that
we might turn from our
iniquities, and understand thy
truth.
Daniel 9:14
Therefore hath the LORD
watched upon the evil, and
brought it upon us: for the LORD
our God is righteous in all his
works which he doeth: for we
obeyed not his voice.
Daniel 9:15
And now, O Lord our God, that
hast brought thy people forth out
of the land of Egypt with a
mighty hand, and hast gotten
thee renown, as at this day; we
have sinned, we have done
wickedly.
Daniel 9:16
O Lord, according to all thy
righteousness, I beseech thee, let
thine anger and thy fury be turned
away from thy city Jerusalem, thy
holy mountain: because for our sins,
and for the iniquities of our fathers,
Jerusalem and thy people are
become a reproach to all that are
about us.
Daniel 9:17
Now therefore, O our God, hear
the prayer of thy servant, and his
supplications, and cause thy face
to shine upon thy sanctuary that
is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
Daniel 9:18
O my God, incline thine ear, and
hear; open thine eyes, and behold
our desolations, and the city
which is called by thy name: for
we do not present our
supplications before thee for our
righteousnesses, but for thy great
mercies.
Daniel 9:19
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O
Lord, hearken and do; defer not,
for thine own sake, O my God: for
thy city and thy people are called
by thy name.

And whiles I was speaking, and
praying, and confessing my sin
and the sin of my people Israel,
and presenting my supplication
before the LORD my God for the
holy mountain of my God;
Daniel 9:21
Yea, whiles I was speaking in
prayer, even the man Gabriel,
whom I had seen in the vision at
the beginning, being caused to fly
swiftly, touched me about the
time of the evening oblation.
Daniel 9:22
And he informed me, and talked
with me, and said, O Daniel, I am
now come forth to give thee skill
and understanding.
Daniel 9:23
At the beginning of thy
supplications the commandment
came forth, and I am come to
show thee; for thou art greatly
beloved: therefore understand
the matter, and consider the
vision.
