Matthew 24:27-30
New American Standard Bible
27 (A)For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the (B)coming of the (C)Son of Man [a]be. 28 (D)Wherever the corpse is, there the [b]vultures will gather.
The Glorious Return
29 “But immediately after the (E)tribulation of those days (F)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (G)the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then (H)the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see (I)the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
