Mark 13:27

The return of ChristAngels and the spiritual worldSalvation

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.

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.

28 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

29 So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.
