But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money Boastful, arrogant, unthankful Unholy, unforgiving, without self-control Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God You will hear of wars and rumors of wars See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen But the end isn't yet For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom There will be famines, plagues and earthquakes in various places But all these things are the beginning of the birth pains Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold (Let no one deceive you in any way For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first And the man of sin is revealed) The son of destruction (He who opposes and exalts himself Against all that is called God or that is worshiped So that he sits as God in the temple of God Setting himself up as God) But you remain in the things Which you have learned and have been a**ured of Knowing from whom you've learned them From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures Which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith Which is in Messiah Yeshua Messiah Yeshua He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes d**h will be no more Neither will there be Mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore When the first things have pa**ed away I am the Alef and the Tav The First and the Last The Beginning and the End Messiah Yeshua
