LUKE 21:24-33

²⁴And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

²⁵And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

²⁶men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

²⁷And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

²⁹And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:

³⁰when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh.

³¹Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

³²Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished.

³³Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
