Ezekiel 11:22-23
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.Yahweh’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

Malachi 3:1-2
“ Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.“ But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderers’ soap;

Ezekiel 7:20-22
As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein. Therefore I have made it to them as an unclean thing.I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a plunder; and they will profane it.I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will enter into it, and profane it.

Matthew 24:1-51
Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.But he answered them,“ You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down.”As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying,“ Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”Jesus answered them,“ Be careful that no one leads you astray.For many will come in my name, saying,‘ I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.But he who endures to the end will be saved.This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.“ When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place( let the reader understand),then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.“ Then if any man tells you,‘ Behold, here is the Christ,’ or,‘ There,’ don’t believe it.For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.“ Behold, I have told you beforehand.If therefore they tell you,‘ Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or‘ Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.“ Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near.Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.“ As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,and they didn’t know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.Watch therefore, for you don’t know in what hour your Lord comes.But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.“ Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.But if that evil servant should say in his heart,‘ My lord is delaying his coming,’and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it, and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

Ezekiel 10:19
The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

Ezekiel 8:6
He said to me,“ Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you will again see yet other great abominations.”

Luke 21:5-36
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,“ As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”They asked him,“ Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”He said,“ Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying,‘ I am he,’ and,‘ The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”Then he said to them,“ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.It will turn out as a testimony for you.Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.And not a hair of your head will perish.“ By your endurance you will win your lives.“ But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”He told them a parable.“ See the fig tree and all the trees.When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.“ So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
