And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25

26
men’s hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27

31
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is near at hand.
32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away until all is fulfilled.
