<p>&quot;Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, <strong>separated    to the gospel of God</strong>.&quot; Romans 1:1-2 <br />
  &quot;Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what    fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has   light  with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what   part has a  believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the   temple of God with  idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As   God has said: 'I will dwell  in them and walk among them. I will be   their God, and they shall be My people.' <br />
  Therefore '<strong>Come out from among them  and be separate</strong>,'   says the Lord. 'Do not touch what is unclean, and I will  receive you. I   will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and  daughters,' says   the Lord Almighty.”  2 Corinthians 6:14-18 <br />
  &quot;I am the Lord your God, who has <strong>separated you from the   peoples</strong>.&quot;  Leviticus 20:24<br />
  &quot;And you shall be holy to Me, for <strong>I the Lord am holy, and have    separated you from the peoples</strong>, that you should be Mine.&quot;   Leviticus  20:26 <br />
  “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. <strong>I did not   come to  bring peace but a sword. </strong>For I have come to ‘set a man   against his father,  a daughter against her mother, and a   daughter-in-law against her  mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will   be those of his own household.’&quot;  Matthew 10:34-36 <br />
  &quot;If anyone teaches otherwise and <strong>does not consent to wholesome    words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ</strong>, and to the   doctrine which  accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing.... <strong>From such withdraw  yourself</strong>.&quot; 1 Titus 6:3, 5 </p>
&quot;All the nations will  be gathered before Him, and <strong>He will   separate them one from another</strong>, as a  shepherd divides his   sheep from the goats.&quot;  Matthew 25:32-34<br />
&quot;<strong>Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?</strong> Shall   tribulation,  or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or   peril, or sword? As it  is written: <br />
       'For Your sake we are killed all day long; <br />
       We are accounted as sheep for the  slaughter.'<br />
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who   loved us.  For I am persuaded that <strong>neither death nor life, nor   angels nor  principalities nor powers</strong>, nor things present nor   things to come, nor  height nor depth, <strong>nor any other created   thing, shall be able to separate us  from the love of God which is in   Christ Jesus our Lord.</strong>&quot; Romans  8:35-39
<p>To prepare His people for future  events, Jesus told His disciples, <br />

<p>&quot;Now learn this parable from the  fig tree: When its branch has   already become tender and puts forth leaves, you  know that summer is   near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that  it is   near... Watch therefore....&quot; Matthew   24:32-33, 42 </p>
