<t /><p class="bodytext">For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people<n id="1" /> who suppress the truth by their<n id="2" /> unrighteousness,<n id="3" />

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel,<n id="1" /> and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed<n id="1" /> from heaven with his mighty angels.<n id="2" />

and the stars in the sky<n id="1" /> fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping<n id="2" /> its unripe figs<n id="3" /> when shaken by a fierce<n id="4" /> wind.

He<n id="1" /> performed momentous signs, even making fire come down from heaven in front of people<n id="2" />

They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their sufferings<n id="1" /> and because of their sores,<n id="2" /> but nevertheless<n id="3" /> they still refused to repent<n id="4" /> of their deeds.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding<n id="2" /> in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

And I saw the holy city &#8211; the new Jerusalem &#8211; descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

Look at the birds in the sky:<n id="1" /> They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds<n id="2" /> them. Aren&#8217;t you more valuable<n id="3" /> than they are?

Jesus said to him, &#8220;Foxes have dens, and the birds in the sky<n id="1" /> have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.&#8221;<n id="2" />

And you, Capernaum,<n id="1" /> will you be exalted to heaven?<n id="2" /> No, you will be thrown down to Hades!<n id="3" /> For if the miracles done among you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued to this day.

<t /><p class="bodytext">At that time Jesus said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I praise<n id="2" /> you, Father, Lord<n id="3" /> of heaven and earth, because<n id="4" /> you have hidden these things from the wise<n id="5" /> and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest garden plant and becomes a tree,<n id="1" /> so that the wild birds<n id="2" /> come and nest in its branches.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

and in the morning, &#8216;It will be stormy today, because the sky is red and darkening.&#8217;<n id="1" /> You know how to judge correctly the appearance of the sky,<n id="2" /> but you cannot evaluate the signs of the times.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;Immediately<n id="1" /> after the suffering<n id="2" /> of those days, <i>the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shakeni>.<n id="3" />

Jesus said to him, &#8220;You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man <i>sitting at the right handi><n id="1" /> of the Power<n id="2" /> and <i>coming on the clouds of heaveni>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

when it is sown, it grows up,<n id="1" /> becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birds<n id="2" /> can nest in its shade.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

&#8220;I am,&#8221; said Jesus, &#8220;and you will see <i>the Son of Man sitting at the right handi><n id="1" /> of the Power<n id="2" /> and <i>coming with the clouds of heaveni>.&#8221;<n id="3" />

and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.<n id="1" /> And a voice came from heaven, &#8220;You are my one dear Son;<n id="2" /> in you I take great delight.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>
