[Evangelium] Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke !Luke 21:25-33 At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: There will be signs in the sun and~ moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations bewildered by the roaring~ of sea and waves; men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things that~ are coming on the world; for the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they~ will see the son of Man coming upon a cloud with great power and majesty. but~ when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads,~ because your redemption is at hand. And He spoke to them a parable. Behold the~ fig tree, and all the trees. When they now put forth their buds, you know that~ summer is near. Even so, when you see these things coming to pass, know that the~ kingdom of God is near. Amen I say to you, this generation will not pass away~ till all things have been accomplished. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My~ words will not pass away.
