19. “For in those days there will be trouble such as has never happened, not since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.
20. And unless Adonai had cut short those days, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He cut short the days.
21. “And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here’s the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there He is!’ do not believe it.
22. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the chosen.
23. So be careful! See, I have told you everything beforehand.”
24. “But in those days, after that trouble, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
25. and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.’
26. And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory.
27. Then He will send out the angels and will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth, to the end of heaven.”
28. “Now learn the parable from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
29. So also, when you see all these things happening, know that it is near, at the door.
30. Amen, I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things happen.
