Mark 13:22-30

22for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will provide signs and wonders in order to deceive, if [such a thing were] possible, even the elect [those God has chosen for Himself].

23But be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

24“But in those days, after [the suffering and distress of] that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

25and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

26Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory [in royal majesty and splendor].

27And then He will send out the angels, and will gather together His elect [those He has chosen for Himself] from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

28“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: as soon as its branch becomes tender and it puts out its leaves, you recognize that summer is near.

29Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, know [for certain] that He is near, right at the door.

30I assure you and most solemnly say to you, this generation [the people living when these signs and events begin] will not pass away until all these things take place.
