Context of Mark 13:26

24“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, 25and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven. 28“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: as soon as its branch has become tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.
