The document provides instructions from Jesus to the 12 disciples as he sends them out to preach. He tells them to take nothing for their journey except a staff, and to rely on God for provision. He instructs them to determine who is worthy in each town and stay there until it's time to move on. If a town is unwelcoming, they are to shake the dust from their feet as a testimony against that town. Jesus warns the disciples that they will face opposition from councils and kings and be brought before them to testify, but not to worry about what to say because the Holy Spirit will give them the words. He tells them to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves in dealing with persecution that will

death.

Lord is.

Dove: The sanctuary of the soul
Gen 8:8-11 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters
were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned
unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth:
then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulledher in unto him into
the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove

Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

how they might destroy him.

testimony against them and the Gentiles.

speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh
in you.
Prophesy for a time when Jesus is not on earth: ye & you
Matt 10:22-23 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake:

beforehandwhat ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but
whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not

shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

 The “end” refers toa time immediately preceding the 2nd
Advent withthe
destructionof “Gentile”powers

and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times
and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and
the dividingof time.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom
under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the
most High, whose kingdom is an everlastingkingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and obey him.
28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations
much troubled me, and my countenance changedin me: but I kept the
matter in my heart.
Dan 8:17-19 17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was
afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of
man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face
toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirmthe covenantwith many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice andthe oblation to cease,
and for the overspreadingof abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon
the desolate.
Dan 11:35-40 35 And some of them of understandingshall fall, to try
them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end:
because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do accordingto his will; and he shall exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things
againstthe God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determinedshall be done.
37 Neither shall he regardthe God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,
nor regardany god: for he shall magnifyhimself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his
fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious
stones, and pleasantthings.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he
shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule
over many, and shall divide the landfor gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and
the king of the north shall come againsthim like a whirlwind, with chariots,
and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the
countries,and shall overflow and pass over.

do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the
abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two
hundredand ninety days.

hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days.
Matt 24:13-14 13 But he that shall endureunto the end, the same
shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preachedin all the worldfor a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
