Matthew 24:30-40

30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth ^[a] will mourn; ^{[b] [c]} and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

32 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.

33 In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize ^[d] that He ^[e] is near-at the door!

34 I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

36 "Now concerning that day and hour no one knows-neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son ^[f] -except the Father only.

37 As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark.

39 They didn't know ^[g] until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be:

40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left.
