30 And
then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there;
believe him not:
31 For
false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders,
to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
32 But
take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things(before) Wherefore if they
shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in
the secret chambers; believe it not.
33 For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
34 For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
35 Immediately
after the tribulation of those days. There shall be signs in the sun, and in the
moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;
the sea and the waves roaring;
36 Men's
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken and the sun shall
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
37 And
the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be
shaken
38 And
then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
39 And
he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth
and from one end of heaven to the other.
40 And
when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh.
41 Now
learn a parable of the fig tree and all the trees; When her branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: so ye in like
manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass,
42 know that it is nigh,
even at the doors. know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say
unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
43 Heaven and earth shall
pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
