Matthew 24:29-42

29“But immediatelyG2112 afterG3326 the 1tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 2the sunG2246 will be darkenedG4654, and the moonG4582 will not giveG1325 its lightG5338, and 3the starsG792 will fallG4098 from 4the skyG3772, and the powersG1411 of 5the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 30And thenG5119 6the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will appearG5316 in the skyG3772, and thenG5119 allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 will mournG2875, and they will seeG3708 7the SonG5207 of ManG444 comingG2064 on the cloudsG3507 of the skyG3772 with powerG1411 and greatG4183 gloryG1391. 31And 8He will sendG649 forthG649 His angelsG32 with 9a greatG3173 trumpetG4536 and they will gatherG1996 togetherG1996 His 10 11electG1588 from 12the fourG5064 windsG417, from one endG206 of the skyG3772 to the otherG206.

32“NowG1161 learnG3129 the parableG3850 from the figG4808 treeG4808: whenG3752 its branchG2798 has alreadyG2235 becomeG1096 tenderG527 and putsG1631 forthG1631 its leavesG5444, you knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nearG1451; 33soG3779, you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 13recognizeG1097 that 14He is nearG1451, right 15at the 16doorG2374. 34TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 17thisG3778 18generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 takeG1096 placeG1096. 35 19HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.

36“But 20of that dayG2250 and hourG5610 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609, not evenG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, norG3761 the SonG5207, but the FatherG3962 aloneG3441. 37For 21the 22comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 will be 23justG5618 likeG5618 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575. 38For as in thoseG1565 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 and drinkingG4095, 24marryingG1060 and givingG1061 in marriageG1061, untilG891 the dayG2250 that 25NoahG3575 enteredG1525 the arkG2787, 39and they did not 26understandG1097 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064 and tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 will the 27comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of ManG444 be. 40ThenG5119 there will be twoG1417 menG1417 in the fieldG68; oneG1520 28will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 29will be leftG863. 41 30TwoG1417 women will be grindingG229 at the 31 32millG3458; oneG1520 33will be takenG3880 and oneG1520 34will be leftG863.

42“ThereforeG3767 35be on the alertG1127, for you do not knowG3609 whichG4169 dayG2250 your LordG2962 is comingG2064.
