Context of Mark 13:26

24“Now, after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not give light, 25the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the universe will be shaken. “Then people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27He will send out his angels, and from every direction under the sky, they will gather those whom God has chosen. 28“Learn from the story of the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and it sprouts leaves, you know summer is near.
