21
And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
22
Because there will be false Christs and false prophets, and they will give signs and wonders in the hope of turning even the saints from the true way.
23

25
And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers which are in the heavens will be moved.
26
And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27
And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.

29
Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.
