25 There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And there will be much trouble for the people on earth. They will not know what to do. It will be like the sound of big waves of the sea.
26 Men will be weak with fear. They will be afraid of the things that will be happening to the world. The powers in the sky will be shaken.
27 Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in a cloud. He will have much power and will be very great.
28 When these things begin to happen, look up. Lift up your heads. You will soon be free.
