Then Jacob sent for his sons. He said,“ Gather around me so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in days to come.

Then Jacob called together all his sons and said,“ Gather around me, and I will tell you what will happen to each of you in the days to come.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather around, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

Then Jacob summoned his sons and said,“ Assemble yourselves, so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

And Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather around, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you[ that] which shall befall you in the last days.

Jacob called for his sons and said,“ Gather together so I can tell you what will happen to you in the future.

Jacob called to his sons, and said:“ Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.

Now I am going back to my people, but come, let me warn you of what this people will do to your people in days to come.”

Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.”

The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly.

When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him.

After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said,“ Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another— and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

Assemble the people— men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns— so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law.

“ Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

The king said to Daniel,“ Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.”

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to testify against them.For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.”

The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord.

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed— a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written:“ The righteous will live by faith.”The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you were lying in bed are these:“ As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

The Lord Almighty has revealed this in my hearing:“ Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned for,” says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.

This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelites before his death.He said:“ The Lord came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones from the south, from his mountain slopes.Surely it is you who love the people; all the holy ones are in your hand. At your feet they all bow down, and from you receive instruction,the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.He was king over Jeshurun when the leaders of the people assembled, along with the tribes of Israel.“ Let Reuben live and not die, nor his people be few.”And this he said about Judah:“ Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah; bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause. Oh, be his help against his foes!”About Levi he said:“ Your Thummim and Urim belong to your faithful servant. You tested him at Massah; you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.He said of his father and mother,‘ I have no regard for them.’ He did not recognize his brothers or acknowledge his own children, but he watched over your word and guarded your covenant.He teaches your precepts to Jacob and your law to Israel. He offers incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.Bless all his skills, Lord, and be pleased with the work of his hands. Strike down those who rise against him, his foes till they rise no more.”About Benjamin he said:“ Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.”About Joseph he said:“ May the Lord bless his land with the precious dew from heaven above and with the deep waters that lie below;with the best the sun brings forth and the finest the moon can yield;with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers.In majesty he is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh.”About Zebulun he said:“ Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and you, Issachar, in your tents.They will summon peoples to the mountain and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous; they will feast on the abundance of the seas, on the treasures hidden in the sand.”About Gad he said:“ Blessed is he who enlarges Gad’s domain! Gad lives there like a lion, tearing at arm or head.He chose the best land for himself; the leader’s portion was kept for him. When the heads of the people assembled, he carried out the Lord’s righteous will, and his judgments concerning Israel.”About Dan he said:“ Dan is a lion’s cub, springing out of Bashan.”About Naphtali he said:“ Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord and is full of his blessing; he will inherit southward to the lake.”About Asher he said:“ Most blessed of sons is Asher; let him be favored by his brothers, and let him bathe his feet in oil.The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.“ There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides across the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty.The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying,‘ Destroy them!’So Israel will live in safety; Jacob will dwell secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew.Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights.”

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel( who was called Belteshazzar). Its message was true and it concerned a great war. The understanding of the message came to him in a vision.

“‘ In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
