Mark 13:24-27

Watch and Endure: Temple Judgment, Gospel Witness, Tribulation, the Son of Man, and Readiness

Mark 13 moves from Jesus' prediction of temple destruction, to warnings against deception, persecution, and premature alarm, to gospel witness among all nations, to the abomination and urgent flight from Judea, to tribulation and false christs, to cosmic signs and the coming of the Son of Man, and finally to watchfulness because the exact day and hour are unknown.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

26 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27 And He will send out the angels to gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
