Weekly Bible Verses: Luke 21:25-36: The Kingdom of God is Near

Luke 21: ²⁵“There will be signs in the sun,the moon, and the 

stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea 

and the waves. ²⁶People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming 

upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in a cloud’ with power 

and great glory. ²⁸Now when these things begin to take place, 

stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption 
is drawing near.”

²⁹Then he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees;

³⁰as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know that 

summer is already near. ³¹So also, when you see these things taking place, 

you know that the kingdom of God is near. ³²Truly I tell you, this generation 

will not pass away until all things have taken place. ³³Heaven and earth 

will pass away, but my words will not pass away. ³⁴“Be on guard so that 

your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the 

worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, ³⁵like a trap. For it 

will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶Be alert at all 

times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things 

that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
