One of these prophets was named Agabus. In Antioch, Agabus stood up and spoke. With the help of the Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [230]} he said, “A very bad time is coming to the whole world. There will be no food for people to eat.” (This time without food happened when Claudius was emperor. {\cf2\super [231]})
Your love must be real. Hate the things that are evil. Do only the things that are good.
Every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you make known the Lord’s death until he comes.
So don’t judge before the right time; wait until the Lord comes. He will shine light on the things that are hidden in darkness. He will make known the secret purposes of people’s hearts. Then God will give every person the praise he should get.
We should hold strongly to the hope that we have. And we should never fail to tell people about our hope. We can trust God to do what he promised.
But Christ is faithful in ruling God’s house like a Son. We \{believers\} are God’s house (family). We are God’s house if we continue to be sure and proud of the great hope we have.
But the Day when the Lord comes again will be a surprise like a thief. The sky will disappear with a loud noise. All the things in the sky will be destroyed with fire. And the earth and everything in it will be burned. {\cf2\super [13]}
Look, Jesus is coming with the clouds! Every person will see him, even the people who pierced {\cf2\super [4]} him. All people of the earth will cry loudly because of him. Yes, this will happen! Amen. {\cf2\super [5]}
\{Jesus is\} the One who says that these things are true. Now he says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
“Listen! I am coming soon! The person that obeys the words of prophecy {\cf2\super [169]} in this book will be blessed.”
“I am coming soon. Continue the way you are now. Then no person will take away your crown (reward).
So don’t forget what you have received and heard. Obey it. Change your hearts and lives! You must wake up, or I will come to you \{and surprise you\} like a thief. You will not know when I will come.
