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, 26 people fainting from fear and the expectation of the things that are coming upon the [b]world; for the powers of [c]the heavens will be shaken. 27 And (A)then they will see (B)the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because (C)your redemption is drawing near.”

The Coming of the Son of Man(A)

25 There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and there will be distress on earth among the nations that are confused by the roaring of the sea and its waves. 26 People will faint from fear and apprehension because of what’s to be coming to the inhabited world, because the powers of the heavens will be disrupted. 27 Then people[a] will see ‘the Son of Man coming in a cloud’[b] with power and great glory.

28 “Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is approaching.”
