24 "But in those days, after [the suffering and distress of] that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, [Is 13:10] 25 and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. [Is 34:4] 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory [in royal majesty and splendor]. [Dan 7:13, 14] 27 And then He will send out the angels, and will gather together His elect [those He has chosen for Himself] from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.
