The great trumpet will sound, and he will send out his angels to the four corners of the earth, and they will gather his chosen people from one end of the world to the other.

He will send the angels out to the four corners of the earth to gather God's chosen people from one end of the world to the other.

But when God was about to send his first-born Son into the world, he said, "All of God's angels must worship him."

But about the angels God said, "God makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."

What are the angels, then? They are spirits who serve God and are sent by him to help those who are to receive salvation.

Again I looked, and I heard angels, thousands and millions of them! They stood around the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders,

and sang in a loud voice: "The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength, honor, glory, and praise!"

It will be like this at the end of the age: the angels will go out and gather up the evil people from among the good

How terrible for the world that there are things that make people lose their faith! Such things will always happen---but how terrible for the one who causes them!

I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them!

For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people.

False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction.

Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth.

When the Judgment Day comes, many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!'

Then I will say to them, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!'

Then you will answer, 'We ate and drank with you; you taught in our town!'

But he will say again, 'I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you wicked people!'

Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out his anger and fury.

There will be suffering and pain for all those who do what is evil, for the Jews first and also for the Gentiles.

And so, according to the Good News I preach, this is how it will be on that Day when God through Jesus Christ will judge the secret thoughts of all.

But nothing that is impure will enter the city, nor anyone who does shameful things or tells lies. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of the living will enter the city.
