The Return of the Son of Man

(Mark 13:24–27, Luke 21:25–28)

So if they tell you,‘There He is in the wilderness,’ {do} not go out, [or], ‘Here [He is] in the inner rooms,’ {do} not believe [it]. 27 For just as the lightning comes from [the] east and flashes as far as [the] west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 For wherever[fn] there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29 

Immediately after the tribulation of those days:

‘The sun will be darkened,

and the moon vvv will not give its light;

the stars will fall from the sky,

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.[fn]’

30 

vvv At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,[fn] and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.[fn] 31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the [other].
