40:024:027 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40:024:029 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
40:024:030 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
40:024:031 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
40:024:032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
40:024:033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
40:024:034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

40:024:037 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40:024:038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
40:024:039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40:024:040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

40:024:044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
40:024:045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
40:024:046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
40:024:047 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
40:024:048 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
40:024:049 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
40:024:050 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
40:024:051 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

40:025:002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
