28 (A)[a]For wheresoever a dead [b]carcass is, thither will the Eagles be gathered together.

29 (B)[c]And immediately after the tribulations of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

30 And then shall appear the [d]sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the [e]kindreds of the earth [f]mourn, (C)and they shall see the Son of man [g]come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
