“Jesus said … ‘They will seize and persecute you … hand you over … because of My Name. … I Myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that … your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. … they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of My Name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.'”

“‘… When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.’ Then He said to them, ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the Fulfilment of all Creation (cf. Rv 1:8), so that every generation can repeat: Blessed is His Kingdom that is coming (cf. Mk 11:10). …”
“… rather than being a conclusion to what had gone before, it should rather be a beginning, a beginning of where we go from here. Jesus did not come simply to be crowned king of the universe; He came to establish the kingdom of God. When He said, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand,’ we must understand that ‘at hand’ in terms of God’s Eternity, according to which one day is a thousand years and a thousand years a day. …”
