Mark 13:23

21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

22 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.

So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
