Times and Seasons

Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”

There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. …

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. …

And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.

Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.

When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
