Luke 21:24-33

²⁴They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁵“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

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

²⁷Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.

³⁰When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

³¹Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.

³²Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.

³³Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
