Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, at the gates. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. 'And then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in the clouds' with great power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
