27 For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
But who shall endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' lye.
Behold, I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah.
and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
For as the lightning shines which lightens from [one end] under heaven to [the other end] under heaven, thus shall the Son of man be in his day. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. And as it took place in the days of Noe, thus also shall it be in the days of the Son of man: they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them]; and in like manner as took place in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all [of them]: after this [manner] shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not go down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember the wife of Lot. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it. I say to you, In that night there shall be two [men] upon one bed; one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be seized and the other shall be let go. [Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be seized and the other let go.] And answering they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body [is], there the eagles will be gathered together.
Dost thou send forth lightnings that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.
And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age?
