Matthew 24:30–41

³⁰Then ^rwill appear in heaven ^sthe sign of the Son of Man, and then ^tall the tribes of the earth will mourn, and ^uthey will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven ^vwith power and great glory. ³¹And ^whe will send out his angels with a loud ^xtrumpet call, and they will ^ygather ^zhis elect from ^athe four winds, ^bfrom one end of heaven to the other.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

³²“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. ³³So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, ^cat the very gates. ^34dTruly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. ^35eHeaven and earth will pass away, but ^fmy words will not pass away.

No One Knows That Day and Hour

³⁶“But concerning that day and hour ^gno one knows, not even the angels of heaven, ^hnor the Son,^{2 i}but the Father only. ^37jFor as were the days of Noah, ^kso will be the coming of the Son of Man. ^38jFor as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, ^lmarrying and giving in marriage, until ^mthe day when Noah entered the ark, ³⁹and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, ^kso will be the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. ⁴¹ⁿTwo women will be grinding ^oat the mill; one will be taken and one left.
