***Original Creation was in only 6 days

Note: I used to believe that each day of Creation was 1000 years, but a Christian Teachers’ Conference
speaker said that a certain moth was needed by a certain tree in order to survive. I also used to
believe in the Gap Theory until I read about the assumption mistakes of the millions and billions
of years dating.
Genesis 1:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth.
2 And the Earth was without form and empty.
And darkness was on the face of the deep.
And The Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light.
4 And God saw the light that it was good.
And God divided between the light and the darkness.
5 And God called the light, “day”.
And He called the darkness, “night”.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 And God made the expanse,
and divided the waters which were under the expanse
from the waters which were above the expanse;
and it was so.
8 And God called the expanse, “heavens”.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place,
and let the dry land appear”;
and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land, “Earth”.
And He called the gathering together of the waters, “seas”.
And God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth tender sprouts
(the herb seeding seed
and the fruit tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself)
upon the Earth”;
and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth tender sprouts,
the herb yielding seed after its kind,
and the tree producing fruit after its kind, whose seed was in itself.
And God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens
to divide between the day and the night.
And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.
15 And let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the Earth.”
And it was so.
16 And God made two great lights:
the greater light to rule the day
and the smaller light to rule the night, and the stars also.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the Earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night,
and to divide between the light and the darkness.

1
 And God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarmers having a living soul;
and let birds fly over the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
21 And God created great sea-animals and every living soul that creeps
with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind.
And God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply,
and fill the waters of the seas
and let the fowl multiply in the Earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creepers,
and its beasts of the earth after its kind; and it was so.
25 And God made the beasts of the Earth after its kind,
and cattle after their kind,
and all creepers upon the earth after their kind.
And God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens,
and over the cattle,
and over all the Earth,
and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.”
27 And God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him.
He created them male and female.
28 And God blessed them.
And God said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply
and fill the Earth, and subdue it.
And have dominion
over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens,
and all animals that move upon the Earth.
29 And God said, “Behold! I have given you
every herb seeding seed which is upon the face of all the Earth,
and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree seeding seed;
to you it shall be for food.
30 And to every beast of the Earth, and to every fowl of the heavens,
and to every creeper on the earth
which has in it a living soul every green plant is for food;
and it was so.
31 And God saw everything that He had made,
and behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him,
and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.
Colossians 1:13-16
13 For He has delivered us from the power of darkness
and has translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son;
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.
15 who is the image of the invisible God, The First-born of all creation.
16 For all things were created in Him,
the things in the heavens, and the things on the Earth,
the visible and the invisible,

2
 whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers,
all things were created through Him and for Him.

Note: The rest were the results of me using www.e-sword.net/ slightly modernized MKJV software for
the words “suddenly”, “immediately” and “quickly”. The Gospel of Mark used “immediately”
28 times. I did not use regular action verses and the groupings developed as I was doing the
logical formatting and understanding Scripture better.

***in response to Jesus Christ or the Word

Matthew 4:18-22
18 And walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers,
Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea.
For they were fishermen.
19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 And they immediately left their nets and followed Him.
21 And going on from there, He saw another two brothers,
James the son of Zebedee and John his brother in a boat with Zebedee their father,
mending their nets.
And He called them;
22 and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him. (Also in Mark 1:14-20.)
Mark 2:1-2 & 10-12
1 And again He entered into Capernaum after some days.
And it was heard that He was in a house.
2 And immediately many were gathered, so that none any longer had room, even to the door.
And He proclaimed the Word to them.
10 “But so that you may know that The Son Of Man has authority upon Earth to forgive sins”,
He said to the paralytic,
11 “ I say to you, Arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house”.
12 And immediately he arose and took up his cot and went out before all.
So that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw it this way.” (Also in Luke 5.)
John 5:5-9
5 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knowing that he had spent much time, He said to him,
“Do you desire to be made whole?”
7 The infirm man answered Him, “Sir, when the water is troubled,
I have no one to put me into the pool.
But while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus says to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
9 And immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked.
And it was a Sabbath on that day.
Matthew 8:1-3
1 When He had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed Him.
2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped him, saying,
“Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.”
3 And Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying,
“I will;
be clean!”
And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (Also in Luke 5:12-13.)
Luke 8:49-55
49 He was still speaking when someone came from the synagogue-ruler, saying to him,
“Your daughter is dead, do not trouble the Teacher.”
50 But when Jesus heard, He answered Him, saying,
“Do not fear, only believe and she shall be healed.”

3
51 And coming into the house, He allowed no one to go in
except Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the girl.
52 And all were weeping and bewailing her.
But He said, “Do not weep; she has not died, but sleeps”
53 And they ridiculed, knowing that she was dead.
54 And He put them all out.
And He took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise!”
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately.
And He commanded that food be given her to eat.
Matthew 13:3-5 & 20-21
3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying,
“Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth.
And they sprang up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
20 But that which was sown on the stony places is this:
he (or she) who hears the Word
and immediately receives it with joy. (“gladness” in Mark 4:16.)
21 But he (or she) has no root in himself (or herself) and is temporary.
For when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the Word,
he (or she) immediately stumbles.” (“offended” in Mark 4:17.)
Acts 9:17-20
17 And Ananias went and entered into the house.
And putting his hands on him, he said,
“Brother Saul, The Lord, Jesus, Who appeared to you in the way in which you came,
has sent me to you that you might see and be filled with The Holy Spirit.”
18 And instantly scales as it were fell from his eyes, and he instantly saw again.
And rising up, he was baptized.
19 And taking food, he was strengthened.
And Saul was certain days with the disciples in Damascus.
20 And immediately he proclaimed Christ in the synagogues, that He is The Son Of God.
Acts 16:27-33
27 And being awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison being open,
drawing a sword, the jailer was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”
29 Then asking for a light he rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 And leading them outside, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 And they said, “Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, and your household.”
32 And they spoke the Word of The Lord to him and to all who were in his household.
33 And taking them in that hour of the night, he washed from their stripes.
And he was baptized, he and all his household, immediately.
James 1:23-27
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer,
he is like a man studying his natural face in a mirror.
24 For he studied himself and went his way, and immediately he forgot what he was like.
25 But whoever looks into the perfect Law of liberty and continues in it,
he is not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work.
This one shall be blessed in his doing.
26 If anyone thinks to be religious among you, yet does not bridle his tongue,
but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and The Father is this,
to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions,
and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

***Jesus Christ responding to needs
Matthew 14:25-31
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying,
“It is a phantom!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer, I AM!
Do not fear.” (Also in Mark 6:48-50.)
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “LORD, if it is You, tell me to come to You on the water.”
29 And He said, “Come.”
And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid.
And beginning to sink, he cried, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him; and said to him,
“Little-faith! Why did you doubt?”
John 6:16-21
16 And when evening had come, the disciples went down to the sea
17 and entered into a boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum.
And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea rose up because of a great wind that blew.
19 Then having rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs,
they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the ship.
And they were afraid.
20 But He said to them, “I AM! Do not be afraid.”
21 Then they willingly received Him into the boat.
And immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
Matthew 20:30-34
30 And behold, two blind men were sitting by the wayside.
When they heard that Jesus passed by, they cried out, saying,
“Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
31 And the crowd rebuked them, saying that they should be silent.
But they cried the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David”
32 And Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you desire that I should do to you?”
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34 So Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes.
And immediately their eyes received sight,
and they followed Him.
Luke 4:38-40
38 And rising up from the synagogue, He entered into Simon's house.
And Simon's wife's mother was being seized with a great fever.
And they asked Him for her.
39 And standing over her, He rebuked the fever.
And it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
40 And the sun sinking,
all, as many as had sick ones with different kinds of diseases brought them to Him.
And laying hands on each of them, He healed them.
Acts 3:2-9
2 And a certain man, who was lame from his mother's womb, was being carried.
And they laid him daily at that temple gate which is called Beautiful,
to ask alms from those who entered into the temple.
3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked to receive alms.
4 And fastening his eyes on him, Peter with John said, “Look on us!”
5 And he paid heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.

5
6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none, but what I have I give you.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”
7 And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up.
And immediately his feet and ankle-bones received strength.
8 And leaping up, he stood and walked and entered with them into the Temple,
walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
Acts 9:32-35
32 And it happened, passing through all, Peter also came down to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas,
who had lain eight years on a mattress, paralyzed.
34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you;
rise up and spread for yourself! And he arose immediately.”
35 And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to The Lord.
Acts 16:25-26
25 And toward midnight Paul and Silas prayed and praised God in a hymn.
And the prisoners listened to them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake,
so that the foundations of the prison were shaken.
And immediately all the doors were opened and all the bonds were loosened.

having loved this present world, and he has departed to Thessalonica.
Crescens went to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

***to sin
Exodus 32:15-20
15 And Rebekah took the clothes of her older son Esau,
the costly ones which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.
16 And she put the skins from the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth of his neck.
17 And she gave the delicious things and the bread which she had prepared
into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 And he came to his father and said, “My father!”
And he said, “Here I am; who are you, my son?”
19 And Jacob said to his father,” I am Esau your first-born. I have done as you asked me.
Arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.”
20 And Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”
And he said, “Because Jehovah your God brought it to me.”
Exodus 32:7-8
7 And Jehovah said to Moses, “Go! Get down,
for your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, are corrupted.
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them.
They have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it,
and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel,
who have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
Judges 2:11 & 16-17
11 And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served Baals.
16 But Jehovah raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who spoiled them.
17 And yet they would not listen to their judges,
but they went lusting after other gods and bowed themselves to them.
They turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in,
for they had obeyed the commandments of Jehovah;
these did not do so.
Proverbs 7:21-22
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield,
with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goes after her immediately,
like an ox goes to the slaughter,
or like a fool to the correction of the stocks;

21 My son, fear Jehovah and the king;
and do not fellowship with those who are given to change;
22 for their trouble shall rise suddenly,
and who knows the ruin of them both?
Ecclesiastes 9:12
12 For man also does not know his time;
as the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the snare,
so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falls suddenly on them.

***in response to a demon’s statements

1 Samuel 28:6-8, 13-14, & 18-20
6 And when Saul inquired of Jehovah, Jehovah did not answer him,
neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek me a woman who is a medium,
so that I may go to her and inquire of her.”
And his servant said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who is a medium, at Endor.”

7
8 And Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing. And he went.
And two men went with him.
And they came to the woman by night.
And he said, “Please divine for me calling up the dead,
and bring me up the man whom I shall name to you.”
13 And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid. For what did you see?
And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods coming up out of the earth.”
14 And he said to her, “What is his form?”
And she said, “An old man comes up, and he is covered with a cloak.”
And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and he bowed his face to the ground,
and prostrated himself.
18 “Because you did not obey the voice of Jehovah, nor execute his fierce wrath on Amalek,
therefore Jehovah has done this thing to you now.
19 And, Jehovah will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines.
And tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me.
Jehovah also shall deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 And Saul immediately fell headlong on the earth,
and was sorely afraid because of the words of Samuel.
And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day nor all night.
Mark 5:11-13
11 And a great herd of pigs was feeding near the mountains.
12 And all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them.”
13 And immediately Jesus allowed them.
And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the pigs.
And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea
(they were about two thousand),
and were drowned in the sea.
***good advice
Proverbs 25:8
8 Do not go forth quickly to fight,
lest you know not what to do in the end of it when your neighbor has put you to shame.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 & 12
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow;
but woe to him who is alone when he falls,
for he does not have another to help him.
12 And if one overthrows him, two shall withstand him;
and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Matthew 5:23-25
Jesus Christ said,
23 Therefore if you offer your gift on the altar
and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 leave your gift there before the altar and go.
First be reconciled to your brother,
and then come and offer your gift.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are in the way with him,
that the opponent not deliver you to the judge,
and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
1 Timothy 5:22
22 Do not lay hands quickly on anyone,
neither be partaker of the sins of others.
Keep yourself pure.

***not right away
John 13:31-32
31 Then when he (Judas) had left, Jesus said,
“Now The Son Of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.
32 If God is glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself,
and shall imsmediately glorify Him.
Revelation 22:6-12 & 20
6 And he said to me, “These sayings are faithful and true.”
And The Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show to His servants the things
which must shortly be done.
7 “Behold, I come quickly.
Blessed is he (or she) who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book.”
8 And I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw,
I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things.
9 Then he said to me, “Behold! See, do not do it!
For I am your fellow-servant, and of your brothers the prophets,
and of those who keep the Words of this Book.
Do worship to God.
10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book, for the time is at hand.
11 He acting unjustly, let him still act unjustly.
And the filthy, let him be filthy still.
And the righteous, let him be righteous still.
And the holy, let him be holy still.”
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly,
and My reward is with Me, to give to each according as his (or her) work is.
20 He who testifies these things says,
“Surely, I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 2:4-5 & 14-16
Jesus Christ said,
4 But I have against you (the church of Ephesus) that you left your first love.
5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen and repent,
and do the first works,
or else I will come to you quickly
and will remove your lampstand out of its place
unless you repent.
14 But I have a few things against you (the church in Pergamos),
because you have there those who hold the teachings of Balaam who taught Balak
to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel,
to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication.
15 So you also have those who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Repent!
But if not, I will come to you quickly and will fight with them
by the sword of My mouth.
Revelation 3:10-12
Jesus Christ said,
10 Because you (the church in Philadelphia) have kept the Word of My patience,
I also will keep you from the hour of temptation which will come upon all the habitable world,
to try those who dwell upon the Earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly.
Hold fast to that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.
12 Him (or her) who overcomes
I will make him(or her) a pillar in the temple of My God,
and he (or she) will go out no more.

 And I will write upon him (or her) the name of My God,
and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem,
which comes down out of Heaven from My God,
and My new name.
2 Peter 3:1-12
1 Beloved, I now write this second letter to you, in which I stir up your pure mind by reminder
2 to remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets,
and of the commandment of The Lord and Savior by us, the Apostles.
3 First, knowing this, that there will come in the last days scoffers
walking according to their own lusts
4 and saying, Where is the promise of His coming?
For since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were from the beginning of Creation.
5 For this is hidden from them by their willing it,
that the heavens were of old
and the earth out of the water, and through water,
being held together by the Word of God,
6 through which the world that then was, being flooded by water,
perished.
7 But the present heavens and the Earth being kept in store
by the same Word,
are being kept for fire
until the Day of Judgment and destruction
of unGodly men (and women).
8 But, beloved, let not this one thing be hidden from you,
that one day is with The Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness,
but is long-suffering toward us,
not purposing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the Day of The Lord will come as a thief in the night,
in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise,
and the elements will melt with fervent heat.
And the Earth and the works in it will be burned up.
11 Since all these things will be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought you to be in holy behavior and Godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of God,
on account of which the heavens, being on fire, will melt away,
and the elements will melt, burning with heat?
Luke 17:24
24 For as the lightning which lights up, flashing from the one part under heaven,
and shines to the other part under heaven,
so also shall The Son Of Man be in His Day.
Revelation 3:3
“3 Remember then how you have received and heard,
and hold fast, and repent.
Therefore if you will not watch,
I will come upon you as a thief,
and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.”
Revelation 16:15
“15 Behold, I am coming as a thief.
Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his garments,
lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

10
John 10:10
“10 The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy.
I have come so that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you.
2 For you yourselves know accurately that the Day of The Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety!
Then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail upon a woman with child.
And they shall not escape.
4 But you, brothers (and sisters), are not in darkness,
that the Day should overtake you like a thief.
5 You are all the sons (and daughters) of light
and the sons (and daughters) of the day.
We are not of the night, or of darkness.

***destruction judgment
Matthew 21:18-20
18 And returning early to the city, He hungered.
19 And seeing a fig tree in the way, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only.
And He said to it, “let no fruit grow on you forever.”
And immediately the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw, they marveled, saying,
“How quickly the fig tree has withered away!”
Proverbs 6:12-15
12 A worthless person, a wicked man walks with a crooked mouth,
13 winking with his eyes,
speaking with his feet,
teaching with his fingers;
14 perversity is in his heart;
he is always planning mischief;
he causes fighting.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;
he is quickly broken,
and there is no healing.
Proverbs 29:1
1 A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken,
and there will be no healing.
Acts 13:6-11
6 And when they had gone through the island to Paphos,
they found a certain conjurer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-jesus;
7 who was with the proconsul of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man.
He called for Barnabas and Saul and asked to hear the Word of God.
8 But Elymas the conjurer (for so his name is, if translated) withstood them,
seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Then Saul (who is also Paul), filled with The Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him
10 and said, O son of the Devil, full of all deceit and all craftiness, enemy of all righteousness,
will you not stop perverting the right ways of The Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of The Lord is on you.
And you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a while.”
And immediately a mist and a darkness fell on him,
and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

11
Acts 12:21-24
21 And on a certain day, Herod sat on his throne, dressed in royal clothing, and made a speech to them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, “It is the voice of a god and not of a man!”
23 And immediately the angel of The Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory.
And he was eaten by worms and gave up the spirit.
24 But the Word of God grew and increased.
Deuteronomy 7:1-4
1 When Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it,
and has cast out many nations before you,
the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
seven nations greater and mightier than you,
2 and Jehovah your God shall deliver them before you,
you shall crush them, completely destroy them.
You shall make no covenant with them
nor show mercy to them.
3 Nor shall you make marriages with them.
You shall not give your daughter to his son,
nor shall you take his daughter to your son.
4 For they will turn away your son from following Me,
so that they may serve other gods.
So the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you
and will destroy you suddenly.
Deuteronomy 9:1-3
Moses said to the Israelites,
1 Hear, O, Israel! You are to pass over Jordan today,
to go in to expel nations greater and mightier than you,
cities great and fortified up to heaven,
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the giants,
whom you know and have heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the sons of Anak!’
3 Therefore, understand today that Jehovah your God is He who goes over before you.
Like a consuming fire, He shall destroy them,
and He shall bring them down before your face.
So you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as Jehovah has said to you.”
Deuteronomy 11:16-17
Moses said to the Israelites,
16 Take heed to yourselves that your heart may not be deceived,
and you turn aside and serve other gods, and worship them,
17 and Jehovah's wrath be kindled against you,
and He shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain,
and so that the land will not yield her fruit,
and you perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah gives you.
Deuteronomy 28:15-20
God said to the Israelites,
15 And it shall be, if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God,
to observe and to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today,
all these curses shall come on you and overtake you.
16 You shall be cursed in the city, and cursed in the field.
17 Your basket and your store shall be cursed.
18 The fruit of your body shall be cursed,
and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep.
19 You shall be cursed when you come in, and cursed when you go out.

12
20 Jehovah shall send on you cursing, vexation, and rebuke
in all that you set your hand to do,
until you are destroyed,
and until you perish quickly,
because of the wickedness of your doings by which you have forsaken Me.
Joshua 23:15-16
15 And it shall be,
as comes to you every good thing which Jehovah your God has spoken to you has come to you,
so shall Jehovah bring on you every evil thing
until He has destroyed you from off this good land
which Jehovah your God has given you,
16 when you transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which He commanded you,
and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
then shall the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you,
and you shall perish quickly from off the good land
which He has given to you.
Isaiah 29:1-5
1 “Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt!
Add year to year; let them kill their sacrifices.
2 Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow;
and it shall be to Me as Ariel.
3 And I will camp against you all around, and will lay siege against you with a mount,
and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down;
you shall speak out of the ground and your speech shall be low out of the dust,
and your voice shall be like a spiritist, out of the ground,
and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 And the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust,
and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away;
yea, it shall be at an instant, suddenly.”
Isaiah 30:1-2 & 7-14
1 “Woe to the rebellious sons”, says Jehovah, “who make advice, but not of Me;
and who cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit,
that they add sin to sin;
2 those who set out to go down to Egypt and have not asked at My mouth,
to take refuge in the strength of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
7 For Egypt helps vainly, and worthlessly.
So I have cried concerning this, their strength is to sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a tablet, and note it in a book,
so that it may be for the time to come forever and ever,
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying sons.
They are sons who will not hear the Law of Jehovah;
10 who say to the seers, ‘See not’,
and to the prophets, ‘Do not prophesy to us right things,
speak to us smooth things,
prophesy falsehood;
11 go out of the way, turn aside out of the path,
cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.’”
12 Therefore so says the Holy One of Israel,
“Because you have despised this Word,
and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rest on them;
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall,
swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.

13
14 And He shall break it
as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces.
He shall have no pity,
so that there shall not be found in the breaking of it
a shard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.”
Isaiah 47:10-15
10 “For you have trusted in your wickedness;
you have said, ‘No one sees me.’
Your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you;
and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no one else.
11 But evil shall come on you; you shall not know its origin.
And mischief shall fall on you;
you shall not be able to put it off.
And desolation shall come on you suddenly, you shall not know.
12 Stand now with your spells, and with the multitude of your sorceries,
in which you have wearied yourself since your youth.
Perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps you may bring terror.
13 You are exhausted by your many plans;
now let the astrologers stand up and save you,
the stargazers, making known what is coming on you into the new moons.
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble;
the fire shall burn them;
they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame;
there shall not be a coal to warm them, nor fire to sit before it.
15 So they are to you with whom you labored, your merchants from your youth.
Each one wanders to his own way; none shall save you.”
Jeremiah 15: 5-8
5 “For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem?
Or who shall weep over you? Or who shall turn aside to ask your welfare?
6 You have forsaken Me”, says Jehovah, “you have gone backward;
therefore I will stretch out My hand against you, and destroy you;
I am weary with relenting.
7 And I will winnow them with a fork in the gates of the land;
I will bereave them of sons;
I will destroy My people since they do not turn from their ways.
8 Their widows are more numerous about Me than the sand of the seas;
I have brought on them, against a mother of a young man,
a ravager at noonday;
I have caused anguish and terror to fall on her suddenly.”
Jeremiah 51:6-9
6 Flee out of the middle of Babylon, and each man deliver his soul.
Be not cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance;
He will give to her a just reward.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, which made all the earth drunk.
The nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations rage.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed.
Wail for her; take balm for her pain, if perhaps she may be healed.
9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed.
Forsake her and let us go, each one into his own country;
for her judgment reaches to the heavens and is lifted up to the skies.
Luke 21:33-36
Jesus Christ said,
33 The heaven and the Earth shall pass away,
but My Words shall not pass away.

14
34 And take heed to yourselves,
lest your hearts are weighed down with headaches and drinking and anxieties of this life;
and that Day should suddenly come on you;
35 for it shall come as a snare on all those sitting on the face of the whole Earth.
36 Watch therefore, praying in every season
that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things which shall occur,
and to stand before The Son Of Man.”
Matthew 24:38-44
Jesus Christ said,
38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day Noah entered into the ark.
39 And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away.
So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Then two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Therefore watch, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.
43 But know this,
that if the steward of the house had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.
44 Therefore you also be ready,
for in that hour you think not, The Son Of Man comes. (Also in Luke 12:39-40.)
Revelation 11:13-14
13 And in that hour a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell.
And seven thousand names of men were slain in the earthquake.
And the rest were frightened and gave glory to The God Of Heaven.
14 The second woe passed away. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
