Matthew 24:30-36

NSB(i) 30 »The sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of earth will mourn. They will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 »He will send his angels with a great trumpet sound. They will gather together the anointed from the four winds, from one end of the sky (horizon) to the other. 32 »Learn from the illustration of the fig tree. When the branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 »Therefore, when you see all these things, you will know he is near, even at the door. 34 »Truly I tell you, this generation (those living at that time) will not pass away till all these things take place. 35 »Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 36 »No one knows the day and the hour (the period of time). The angels of heaven do not know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows!
