²⁰However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you know that its destruction is near.

²¹Those who are in Judea should run away to the mountains, and those who are in Jerusalem should leave, and those who are the countryside shouldn't enter the city.

²²For these are days of punishment, fulfilling all that's written.

²³How hard it will be for those who are pregnant or nursing babies at that time! For terrible trouble is coming on the land and punishment against this people.

²⁴They will be killed by the sword and taken away as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trodden down by the foreign nations until their time is fulfilled.

²⁵There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and on the earth the nations will be in distress, confused by the sea's rolling and crashing.

²⁶People will be faint from fear, terrified about what is happening to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.

²⁷Then they'll see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸But when these things happen, stand up and look up, because you will soon be saved.”

³⁰When you see new leaves appear, you don't need to be told that summer is near.
