Matthew 24:29-31
New International Version
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[a](A)
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[b] will mourn(B) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(C) with power and great glory.[c] 31 And he will send his angels(D) with a loud trumpet call,(E) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21
New International Version
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly(A) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(B) the new creation(C) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!(D) 18 All this is from God,(E) who reconciled us to himself through Christ(F) and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.(G) And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,(H) as though God were making his appeal through us.(I) We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.(J) 21 God made him who had no sin(K) to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(L)

Revelation 19:6-10
New International Version
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(A) like the roar of rushing waters(B) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!(C)
For our Lord God Almighty(D) reigns.(E)
7 Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!(F)
For the wedding of the Lamb(G) has come,
and his bride(H) has made herself ready.
8 Fine linen,(I) bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(J) of God’s holy people.)
9 Then the angel said to me,(K) “Write this:(L) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(M) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(N)
10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him.(O) But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!(P) For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”(Q)
