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 unless those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened.
23
Then if any man shall say unto you, `Lo, here is Christ,' or `there,' believe it not.
24
For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25
Behold, I have told you before.
26
Therefore, if they shall say unto you, `Behold, He is in the desert!' go not forth; or `Behold, He is in the secret chambers!' believe it not.
27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
28
For wheresoever the carcass 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 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 power and with great glory.
31
And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
