Luke 21:26-36

26People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

27Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory.

28So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!”

29Then he gave them this illustration: “Notice the fig tree, or any other tree.

30When the leaves come out, you know without being told that summer is near.

31In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that the Kingdom of God is near.

32I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things have taken place.

33Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

34“Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware,

35like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.

36Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”
