Mark 13:25

The return of Christ

23 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;

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.

27 And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
