Luke 21:25-36
25“There will be 1signsG4592 in the sunG2246 and moonG4582 and starsG798, and on the earthG1093 distressG4928 among nationsG1484, in perplexityG640 at the roaringG2279 of the seaG2281 and the wavesG4535, 26peopleG444 faintingG674 from fearG5401 and the expectationG4329 of the things that are comingG1904 uponG1904 the 2worldG3625; for the powersG1411 of 3the heavensG3772 will be shakenG4531. 27And 4thenG5119 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 upG352 and liftG1869 upG1869 your headsG2776, becauseG1360 6your redemptionG629 is drawingG1448 nearG1448.”
29And He toldG3004 them a parableG3850: “LookG3708 at the figG4808 treeG4808 and allG3956 the treesG1186: 30asG3752G2235 soonG3752G2235 asG3752G2235 they putG4261 forthG4261 leaves, you seeG991 for yourselvesG1438 and 7knowG1097 that summerG2330 is nowG2235 nearG1451. 31SoG3779 you tooG2532, whenG3752 you seeG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778 happeningG1096, 8recognizeG1097 that 9the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is nearG1451. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, thisG3778 generationG1074 will not passG3928 awayG3928 untilG2193 allG3956 thingsG3956 takeG1096 placeG1096. 3310HeavenG3772 and earthG1093 will passG3928 awayG3928, but My wordsG3056 will not passG3928 awayG3928.
34“But 11be on your guardG4337, soG3379 thatG3379 your heartsG2588 will not be weighedG916 downG916 with dissipationG2897 and drunkennessG3178 and the worriesG3308 ofG982 lifeG982, and that 12this dayG2250 will not comeG2186 on you suddenlyG160, likeG5613 a trapG3803; 35for it will comeG1898 upon allG3956 thoseG3588 who liveG2521 on the faceG4383 of allG3956 the earthG1093. 36But 13stayG69 alertG69 at allG3956 timesG2540, prayingG1189 that you will haveG2729 strengthG2729 to escapeG1628 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 that areG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 takeG1096 placeG1096, and to 14standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of ManG444.”
