2 In the Beis Avi there are many me’onot* (dwelling places, permanent residences, homes); if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a makom (place) for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a makom for you, I am coming again and will receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

9 And having said these things, while they were looking on, in an aliyah ascent to Shomayim, Moshiach was taken up; and an anan (cloud) took him away from their eyes. 10 And as they were gazing intently into Shomayim, while Moshiach was going — hinei — two beings, enrobed in white, had been present with them. 11 Also, these said, Men of the Galil, why do you stand looking into Shomayim? This Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, the one having been taken up from you into Shomayim, will also come again in like manner as you saw him going into Shomayim.

20 He who gives solemn edut to these things says, "Ken! I am coming bahlt (soon)!" Omein. Come Adoneinu Yehoshua!

12 Hinei, I am coming quickly, and My sachar (reward) is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done.*

36 But concerning that day and hour, no one has daas, not the malachim of Shomayim, but only HaAv (the Father) of me. 37 For as in the days of Noach, thus will be the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of the Bar Enosh. 38 For as they were in those days before HaMabbul (the Flood), eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noach entered the Tevah, 39 and they did not have daas until HaMabbul came and took away everything — thus also will be the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of the Bar Enosh.

32 But concerning HaYom HaHu or the shaah, no one has daas, neither the malachim in Shomayim nor HaBen, but only HaAv.

1 But concerning the ittim (times) and the zmanim (seasons), Chaverim, you have no need for you to have anything in writing. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the Yom Hashem comes like a ganav balailah (thief in the night). 3 Whenever they say, "Shalom and Bitachon!" then sudden churban (destruction) will come upon them like the chevlei leydah (birth pangs) of the isha with a baby in her womb. And they can certainly not escape.

42 So be shomer, be on your guard, because you do not have daas on which day will be the Bias of* Adoneichem (your L-rd). 43 But understand this: if the Baal Bayit had known in which watch the ganav is coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed his bais to be dug through. 44 For this reason also you be shomer, for in the hour when you do not think, then will be the Bias HaMoshiach* (the Coming of the Bar Enosh).

1 We ask you, Achim b’Moshiach, concerning the Bias HaMoshiach (the Arrival, Coming of Moshiach) Yehoshua Adoneinu and our being gathered together to him,* 2 that you not become too hastily disturbed from your spiritual composure nor frightened either by a ruach or by a dibur (saying, utterance) or by an iggeret (letter), as if from us, saying that the YOM HASHEM* (Day of the L-rd) has come. 3 Let no one in any way lead you astray, because, unless the Merid (Rebellion, Revolt, the* Shmad Betrayal Defection of Apostasy, the Azivah Abandonment) Desertion comes rishonah (first), and the Apocalypse of the Ish HaMufkarut (Man of Lawlessness), the Ish HaChatta’ah Ben HaAvaddon (Man of Sin, Son of Destruction Anti-Moshiach) is unveiled… 4 I’m referring to the one setting himself against and exalting himself AL KOL EL* (above every G-d), above all that is given the appellation "G-d" or object of worship, with the result that in the Beis Hamikdash Heikhal he sits down on the MOSHAV ELOHIM* (throne of G-d), proclaiming that he himself is Elohim…

16 For Adoneinu Himself, at the signal, at the bat kol of the Sar HaMalachim (the Archangel), and at the shofar blast of Hashem, shall come down from Shomayim, and the Mesim in Moshiach shall stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMesim first. 17 Then,* we who are alive and who have been left behind simultaneously with them shall be snatched up in the ananim (clouds) to meet Adoneinu in the air. And so always with Adoneinu we shall be.

24 But after the Tzarah* of yamim hahem, the shemesh will be darkened, and the levanah will not give its ohr, 25 And the kokhavim (stars) will be falling out of Shomayim, and the kochot (powers), the ones in Shomayim, will be shaken.* 26 And then you will see the BAR ENOSH BA BAANANIM (the Son of Man [Moshiach] coming in clouds)* with gevurah rabbah (great power) and kavod (glory). 27 And then he will send the malachim and he will gather together his Bechirim* from the four winds, from the ends (extremities) of haaretz to the ends (extremities) of Shomayim.*

31 And when the Bar Enosh* comes, in his kavod and all his malachim with him, then he will sit upon his Kissei Kavod (Glorious Throne). 32 And there will be assembled all the Goyim, and he will separate them from each other as the Roeh (the Shepherd) separates the Kevasim (Sheep) from the Izzim (Goats). 33 And he will put the Kevasim on the right of him, but the Izzim on his left.

11 And I saw Shomayim having been opened, and, hinei, a sus lavan (white horse) and the one riding on it is called Ne’eman and Yashar, and in Tzedek* He judges and makes milchamah (war).* 12 And the Eynayim of Him are as a flame of eish, and on the head of Him are many atarot, and He has a Name inscribed of which no one has da’as except Himself. 13 And He is robed in a kaftan dipped in dahm, and His Name is called, "The dvar hashem."* 14 And the Tzivos Hashem (the Army of Hashem), the Tzivos HaShomayim, were following Him on susim levanim (white horses). They were dressed in fine linen, lavan (white) and tahor (clean). 15 And out of the peh (mouth) of Him goes forth a sharp cherev, that with it He may strike the Goyim, and He will shepherd them with a shevet barzel, and He treads the press of the yayin of the fury of Charon Af of Hashem, El Shaddai.* 16 And He has on His kaftan and on His thigh a name inscribed: melech hamelachim and adon haadonim.

26 For whoever has bushah (shame) toward me and my devarim, this one the Bar Enosh* will be ashamed of, when Moshiach comes in his Kavod and the Kavod of HaAv of him and of the malachim hakedoshim (holy angels).

8 Chaverim, let not this one thing escape your notice, that "A thousand years in the eyes of Hashem is like one day"* and one day like a thousand years. 9 But Hashem is not slow concerning his havtachah (promise), as some consider slowness, but is demonstrating savlanut (patience)* toward you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to teshuva (repentance). 10 But the Yom Hashem will come as a ganav (thief), in which the Shomayim with great suddenness will pass away and the elements, burning up, will be destroyed, and the Olam Hazeh and its ma’asim will be found ou.*

11 Als (Since) all these things will thus be destroyed, what kinds of persons ought you to be in hitnahagut (conduct) that is characterized by kedushah and chasidus, 12 Awaiting and hastening the Bias HaMoshiach of the Yom Hashem, because of which the Shomayim will be turned into Eish (Fire) and destroyed, and the elements set ablaze and melted. 13 But SHOMAYIM CHADASHIM VA’ARETZ CHADASHA* cf. Isa 66:22 according to the havtachah (promise) of Hashem we await, in which Tzidkanut (Righteousness) dwells.

27 And in as much as it is appointed for men to die once and after this HaMishpat,* 28 So he, having been offered up once in order that HU NASA CHET RABBIM* (he bore away the sin of many) and shall appear sheynit (a second time) for Yeshu’at Eloheinu without reference to chet for those who expectantly khakeh levo’o shel (await the arrival of) Moshiach.
