After That Affliction, The Powers Will Be Shaken. I Will Come On The Clouds In Glory
29 “And immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun[a] will be darkened, and the moon will not give its glow, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then[b] the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heaven. And at-that-time all the tribes of the earth will beat-their-breasts. And they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send-out His angels with a loud trumpet. And they will gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends[c] of the heavens to their [other] ends.
The Parable of The Fig Tree: When You See These Things, You Know I Am Near
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig-tree[d]: when its branch already becomes tender and grows-out its leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33 So also you— when you see all[e] these things, you know[f] that He[g] is near, at the doors. 34 Truly I say to you that this[h] generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by-no-means pass away.
