Luke 21:25-37
25“There will be 1signsG4592 in sunG2246 and moonG4582 and starsG798, and on the earthG1093 dismayG4928 among nationsG1484, in perplexityG640 at the roaringG2279 of the seaG2281 and the wavesG4535, 26menG444 faintingG674 from fearG5401 and the expectationG4329 of the things which are comingG1904 upon the 2worldG3625; for the powersG1411 of 3the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 274ThenG5119 they will seeG3708 5the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 in a cloudG3507 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 28But when theseG3778 thingsG3778 beginG757 to takeG1096 placeG1096, straightenG352 up and liftG1869 up your headsG2776, becauseG1360 6your redemptionG629 is drawingG1448 nearG1448.”
29ThenG2532 He toldG3004 them a parableG3850: “BeholdG3708 the figG4808 treeG4808 and allG3956 the treesG1186; 30as soonG3752G2235 as they putG4261 forthG4261 leaves, you seeG991 it and 7knowG1097 for yourselvesG1438 that summerG2330 is nowG2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 you alsoG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 8recognizeG1097 that 9the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 10generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 thingsG3956 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3311HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.
34“12Be on guardG4337, soG3379 that your heartsG2588 will not be weightedG916 downG916 with dissipationG2897 and drunkennessG3178 and the worriesG3308 of lifeG982, and that dayG2250 will not comeG2186 on you suddenlyG160 likeG5613 a trapG3803; 35for it will comeG1898 upon allG3956 thoseG3588 who dwellG2521 on the faceG4383 of allG3956 the earthG1093. 36But 13keepG69 on the alertG69 at allG3956 timesG2540, prayingG1189 that you may haveG2729 strengthG2729 to escapeG1628 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 that are aboutG3195 to takeG1096 placeG1096, and to 14standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of ManG444.”
37NowG1161 15during the dayG2250 He was 16teachingG1321 in the templeG2413, but 1718at eveningG3571 He would goG1831 out and spendG835 the nightG835 on 1920the mountG3735 that is calledG2564 21OlivetG1638.
