The Glorious Return

²⁹ “But immediately after the ^(A)tribulation of those days ^(B)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and ^(C)the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The Return of Christ

²⁴ “But in those days, after that tribulation, ^(A)the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, ^25 (B)and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. ²⁶ And then they will see ^(C)the Son of Man ^(D)coming in clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ And then He will send forth the angels, and ^(E)will gather together His ^[a]elect from the four winds, ^(F)from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.

²⁸ “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near. ²⁹ So you too, when you see these things happening, ^[b]recognize that ^[c]He is near, right at the ^[d]door. ³⁰ Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. ³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. ^32 (G)But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

³³ “Watch out, ^(H)stay alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is. ^34 (I)It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and ^[e]putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay alert. ³⁵ Therefore, ^(J)stay alert—for you do not know when the ^[f]master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or ^(K)when the rooster crows, or ^(L)in the morning— ³⁶ so that he does not come suddenly and find you ^(M)asleep. ³⁷ What I say to you I say to all: ‘^(N)Stay alert!’”

The Return of Christ

²⁵ “There will be ^[a]signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

The Sixth Seal: Terror

¹² And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great ^(A)earthquake; and the ^(B)sun became as black as ^(C)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

¹² The fourth angel sounded, and a ^(A)third of the ^(B)sun, a third of the ^(C)moon, and a ^(D)third of the ^(E)stars were struck, so that a ^(F)third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a ^(G)third of it, and the night in the same way.
