Matthew 24:26-41

26So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 271For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will the 2coming of the 3Son of Man 4be. 285Wherever the corpse is, there the 6vultures will gather.

29“But immediately after the 7tribulation of those days 8the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and 9the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30And then 10the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see 11the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31And 12He will send forth His angels with 13a great trumpet blast, and they will gather together His 1415elect from 16the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

32“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; 33so you too, when you see all these things, 17recognize that 18He is near, right 19at the 20door. 34Truly I say to you, 21this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 3522Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

36“But 23about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 37For 24the 25coming of the Son of Man will be 26just like the days of Noah. 38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, 27marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that 28Noah entered the ark, 39and they did not 29understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the 30coming of the Son of Man be. 40At that time there will be two men in the field; one 31will be taken and one 32will be left. 4133Two women will be grinding at the 3435mill; one 36will be taken and one 37will be left.
