Luke 21:22-32

22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
23 But woe to them that are with child and give suck in those days: for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves:
26 Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.
27 And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
29 And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees:
30 When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;
31 So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
32 Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled.
