Luke 21:25-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves;

²⁶ Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved;

²⁷ And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.

²⁸ But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.

²⁹ And he spoke to them in a similitude. See the fig tree, and all the trees:

³⁰ When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;

³¹ So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

³² Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away, till all things be fulfilled.

³³ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
