25And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth, fear among the nations and doubt because of the loud noise of the sea and the waves;
26Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.
27And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.
28But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.
29And he made a story for them: See the fig-tree, and all the trees;
30When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.
31In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.
