"And
surely I am with you...":
Deuteronomy 31:6, 8: [Moses said,]
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified
because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never
leave you nor forsake you...The Lord Himself goes before you
and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do
not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Joshua 1:5: [God, speaking to Joshua,]
"No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of
your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never
leave you nor forsake you."
1 Kings 8:57: "May the Lord our God
be with us as He was with our fathers; may He never leave us nor

Acts 18:9-11: "One night the Lord
spoke to Paul in a vision: 'Do not be afraid; keep on
speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is
going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this
city [Corinth].' So Paul stayed for a year and a half,
teaching them the Word of God."
Hebrews 13:5-8: "Keep your lives
free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.' So we say with confidence, "The
Lord is my Helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to
me?' Remember your leaders, who spoke the Word of God
to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate
their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and
forever."
"always, to the very end of the age":
Psalm 48:14: "For this God is our
God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the
end."
Daniel 2:44: "In the time of those
kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be
destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all
those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure
forever."
Daniel 6:26: "For He is the living
God and He endures forever; His kingdom will not be destroyed, His
dominion will never end."

men will hate you because of Me, but he who stands firm to the end
will be saved."
Matthew 13:37-43: "He [Jesus]
answered, 'The One Who sowed the good seed is the Son of
Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the
sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and
the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the
age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled
up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the
age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will
weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do
evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the
righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears, let him hear.'"
Matthew 13:47-50: [Jesus said,]
"Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let
down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full,
the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and
collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.
This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come
and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the
fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth."
Matthew 24:3: "As Jesus was sitting
on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately.
'Tell us,' they said, 'when will this happen, and
what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the
age?'"
Matthew 24:12-14: [Jesus said,]
"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will
grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world
as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will
come."
Philippians 3:20-21: "But our
citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ, Who, by the power that enables Him to bring
everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so
that they will be like His glorious body."
1 Corinthians 1:7-9: "Therefore you
do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord
Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong to the
end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ. God, Who has called you into fellowship with His Son
Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."
1 Corinthians 15:20-26: "For as in
Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each
in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when He comes,
those who belong to Him. Then the end will come, when He
hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all
dominion, authority and power. For He must reign until He has
put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be
destroyed is death."
Hebrews 3:14: "We have come to
share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we
had at first."
Hebrews 9:26-28: "Then Christ would
have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But
now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away
with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as man is destined
to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was
sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will
appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to
those who are waiting for Him."
1 Peter 4:7: "The end of all things
is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you
can pray."
2 Peter 3:10-13: "But the day of
the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a
roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and
everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be
destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You
ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day
of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the
destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in
the heat. But in keeping with His promise we are looking
forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of
righteousness."
