20 Andwhen ye shall seeJerusalemcompassedwitharmies,thenknowthat the desolationthereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are inJudaeafleeto the mountains;and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; andletnot them that are in the countriesenterthereinto*.
22 Forthesebe the days of vengeance, that all thingswhich are written may be fulfilled.
23 Butwoeunto them that are with child*, and to them that give suck, inthosedays!for there shall begreatdistressin the land,andwrathuponthispeople.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword,and shall be led away captiveintoallnations:andJerusalem shall be trodden downof the Gentiles,until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall besignsin the sun,and in the moon,and in the stars;andupon the earthdistress of nations,withperplexity; the seaand the wavesroaring;
26 Men's hearts failing themforfear,and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 Andthen shall they see the Son of mancomingin a cloudwithpowerandgreatglory.
28 And when these thingsbegin to come to pass, then look up, and lift upyourheads;foryourredemption draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable;Behold the fig tree,andall the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and knowof your own selvesthatsummerisnow nigh at hand.
