Mark 13:24

The return of Christ

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

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

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.’

26 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
