中夜有呼曰、新娶者至矣、爾出迎之、

中夜呼云、新娶者至矣、出迎之、

中夜有呼云、新娶者至矣、爾出迎之、

子夜忽有聲呼曰：「新壻來矣其出迎之！」

“ At midnight the cry rang out:‘ Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

“ At midnight someone cried out,‘ Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him!’

But at midnight there was a cry,‘ Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’

“ At midnight they were roused by the shout,‘ Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!’

“ In the middle of the night there was a shout:‘ Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’

But at midnight there finally was a shout:‘ Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’

“ And at midnight a cry was heard:‘ Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’

But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

“ In the middle of the night there was a shout:‘ Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

But at midnight there was a cry,‘ Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’

“ I am about to send my messenger, who will clear the way before me. Indeed, the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom you long for, is certainly coming,” says the LORD who rules over all.Who can endure the day of his coming? Who can keep standing when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.

“ At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Therefore you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

At that time they will say,“ Look, here is our God! We waited for him and he delivered us. Here is the LORD! We waited for him. Let’s rejoice and celebrate his deliverance!”

“ Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voiceand will come out– the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.

“ When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

before the LORD! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in a just manner.

then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee, and will cut him in two, and assign him a place with the unfaithful.

Now Enoch, the seventh in descent beginning with Adam, even prophesied of them, saying,“ Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones,to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds that they have committed, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

( Look! I will come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not lose his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful condition be seen.)

Watch out! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time will come.It is like a man going on a journey. He left his house and put his slaves in charge, assigning to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert.Stay alert, then, because you do not know when the owner of the house will return– whether during evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn–or else he might find you asleep when he returns suddenly.What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!”

before the LORD, for he comes! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in accordance with his justice.

But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages.He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.He says:“ Assemble my covenant people before me, those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!”The heavens declare his fairness, for God is judge.( Selah)

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; when it comes, the heavens will disappear with a horrific noise, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze, and the earth and every deed done on it will be laid bare.

and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels.With flaming fire he will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.They will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired on that day among all who have believed– and you did in fact believe our testimony.

Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, blessed are those slaves!But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.She was permitted to be dressed in bright, clean, fine linen”( for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).Then the angel said to me,“ Write the following: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet at the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” He also said to me,“ These are the true words of God.”

Now on the topic of times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.For you know quite well that the day of the Lord will come in the same way as a thief in the night.Now when they are saying,“ There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

“ Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel. Because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!
