26men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
