25 “There’ll be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and anguish in countries around the world as they’re puzzled by the noise of the sea and surf.[ref] 26 People will faint from fear and worry about what’s happening to the planet, because the powers in the universe[fn] will be shaken. 27 Then they’ll see humanity’s child coming down in a cloud with power and great brightness.[ref] 28 But when these things start to happen, stand straight and look upwards, because your new lives of freedom will be about to begin.”
