The Coming of the Son of Man

²⁵ “And ^(A)there will be signs in sun and moon ^(B)and stars, and on the earth ^(C)distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,

³⁰ “And I will show ^(A)wonders in the heavens and ^(B)on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. ^31 (C)The sun shall be turned to darkness, ^(D)and the moon to blood, ^(E)before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

The Time of the End

12 “At that time shall arise ^(A)Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And ^(B)there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, ^(C)everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.

¹² When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, ^(A)there was a great earthquake, and ^(B)the sun became black as ^(C)sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, ¹³ and ^(D)the stars of the sky fell to the earth ^(E)as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. ^14 (F)The sky vanished ^(G)like a scroll that is being rolled up, and ^(H)every mountain and island was removed from its place.

¹⁰ But ^(A)the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then ^(B)the heavens will pass away with a roar, and ^(C)the heavenly bodies^[a] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.^[b]

¹¹ Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, ^(D)what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, ^12 (E)waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and ^(F)the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
