33. Title: THE CONSUMMATION OF THE AGE, AND THE ABOMINATION OF THE DESOLATION THEN.

There is to be adduced what the Lord says,

1. Concerning the "abomination of desolation;"

2. What He says [concerning vastation];

3. What the Lord says concerning the "affliction;"

4. That "no flesh can be saved;"

5. Concerning the "darkening of the sun and of the moon;"

6. The things which are declared in the (Apocalypse 1:18),

Behold, I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am He that liveth unto the ages of the ages (see, also, Revelation 2:8, 5:6).

And again, the Lord says:

The night cometh when no man can work (John 9:4);

In that night, there shall be two men in one bed (Luke 17:34).

Further, what the Lord says concerning Peter in John 21:18; also, what Paul says concerning the last times, in 1 Timothy 4:1-3; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 4:3-4.

(What the Lord says in Matthew 24:27, that this should take place in the day of the Last Judgment, must be explained; also, what He says in Matthew 24:30-31. That this actually has thus taken place, see THE TRUE CHRISTIAN RELIGION 791.)
