20
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved, but for the elect’s sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened those days.
21
And then if anyone should say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or, Behold,
he is there, do not believe
him;
22
for false Christs and false prophets shall rise and shall show signs and wonders to seduce, if possible, even the elect.
23
But take ye heed; behold, I have told you everything beforehand.
24
But in those days after that affliction, the sun shall darken, and the moon shall not give her light,
25
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers that
are in the heavens shall be shaken.
26
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27
And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth unto the uttermost part of the heaven.
28
Learn the similitude from the fig tree: When her branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near;
29
so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is near,
even at the doors.
30
Verily I say unto you that this generation shall not pass until all these things are done.
