21
for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22
And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23
Then if any man shall say unto you, Behold, here
is the Christ, or there, believe
it not.
24
For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders in such a manner that they shall deceive, if possible, the very elect.
25
Behold, I have told you before.
26
Therefore if they say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; Behold,
he is in the secret chambers, believe
it not.
27
For as the lightning that comes out of the east and shines even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28
For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken,
30
and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory.
31
And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
