(Luke 21:25-28) There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth , nations will be in anguish at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At the time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

(Mark 13:24-27) “But in those days following that distress,”

‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

“At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with power and great glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

(Mark 13:17-20) “How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that this will not take place in winter, because those will be the days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now– and never to equaled again.

(Matthew 24:12-14) “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

(Matthew 24:22) “if those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”

(Zephaniah 1:2-3) “I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord. “I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth.”

(Daniel 12:2-3) Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

(Isaiah 24:4-6) The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the exalted of the earth languish. The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.
