(Luk 21:8) And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I (EGO) am (I-Mee) Christ; and the time draweth near (eggizō): go ye not therefore after them.
E-Sword <----:angel2:
Luk 12:45-46
(45) But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
(46) The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus creates a poem about the end of the world. The poem is based on a rhyme between the Hebrew words “The End” and “Summer or Summer Fruit.” Jesus is expounding on a poem in Amos 8:1-2 that uses the same rhyme and the same theme. However, he adds an additional rhyme that involves “Wickedness,” “Saved,” “Gates,” and “Shall be done.” The words “Saved” and “Wickedness” use many of the same letters but the letters are prioritized differently. Almost as if they were symbolizing that it is how everything is prioritized that is the difference between “Saved” and “Wickedness.”

“The End” (&#1511;&#1509;)
“Summer Fruit” (&#1511;&#1497;&#1509;)

“Wickedness” (&#1492;&#1512;&#1513;&#1506;&#1493;&#1514;)
“Saved” (&#1497;&#1493;&#1513;&#1506;)
“Gates” (&#1500;&#1513;&#1506;&#1512;&#1497;&#1501;)
“Shall be done” (&#1497;&#1492;&#1497;&#1493; &#1506;&#1513;&#1493;&#1497;&#1501;)

8:1 “Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit {“Summer Fruit” (&#1511;&#1497;&#1509;)}. 2 And he said, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit {“Summer Fruit” (&#1511;&#1497;&#1509;)}." Then the LORD said to me, "The end {“The End” (&#1511;&#1509;)} has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.” [Amos 8:1-2 RSV]

24:12 And because wickedness {“Wickedness” (&#1492;&#1512;&#1513;&#1506;&#1493;&#1514;)} will increase, the love of most will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end {“The End” (&#1511;&#1509;)} will be saved {“Saved” (&#1497;&#1493;&#1513;&#1506;)}. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end {“The End” (&#1511;&#1509;)} will come.
24:32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer {“Summer” (&#1511;&#1497;&#1509;) or “Summer Fruit” (&#1511;&#1497;&#1509;)} is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door {“Gates” (&#1500;&#1513;&#1506;&#1512;&#1497;&#1501;)}. 34 Truly, I tell you that this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place {“Shall be done” (&#1497;&#1492;&#1497;&#1493; &#1506;&#1513;&#1493;&#1497;&#1501;)}. [Matthew 24:12-14, 32-34 The Passion: The Poetry of God]
