“And then his disciples asked him, saying, Master, tell us concerning thy coming? And he answered them, and said, In the generation in which the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled, there shall be signs . . . upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity . . . men’s hearts failing them for fear, for looking after those things coming on the earth, . . .” (Luke 21:24-26).

“And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” (Luke 21:23). Verily I say unto you, this generation when the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, shall not pass away til all be fulfilled” (Luke 21:32).

Jerusalem was trodden by the Gentiles from AD 70 until June 7, 1967, a period of nearly two thousand years. We are living in the time of the final fulfillment of all things.

“Except those days should be shortened, there should none of their flesh be saved. But for the elects sake . . . those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:19 IV; 24:22 KJV).

“I tell you that he will come, and when he does come, he will avenge his saints speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).

“And again, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come . . .” (Matthew 24:32 IV; 24:14 KJV). The gospel is being preached in all the world today.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder . . . of the increase of his government and peace there is no end . . .” (Isaiah 9:6-7).

“For behold, he cometh in the clouds with ten thousands of his saints in the kingdom, clothed with the glory of his Father. And every eye shall see him; and they who pierced him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him” (Revelation 1:7).

“Even until all things shall be fulfilled, according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in my glory with the powers of heaven” (3 Nephi 13:18).

“Enoch saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man, in the last days, to dwell on the earth, in righteousness, for the space of a thousand years” (Genesis 7:73).

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words of the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (Daniel 12:4).

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; Then they who are alive, shall be caught up together into the clouds with them who remain [the dead in Christ] to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52).

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”
(Revelation 22:20).
