30 The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the earth is near.
31 Before these days shall come, behold, false Christs and poor deluded prophets will arise in many lands.
32 And they will show forth signs, and do a multitude of mighty works; and they will lead astray the many who are not wise; and many of the wise will be deceived.
33 And now I tell you once again, When men shall say, The Christ is in the wilderness, go you not forth.
34 And if they say, The Christ is in the secret place, believe it not; for when he comes the world will know that he has come.
35 For as the morning light comes from the east and shines unto the west; so shall be the coming of the age and son of man.
36 The wicked of the earth will weep when they shall see the son of man come down upon the clouds of heaven, in power.
37 Take heed you, O take heed, for you know not the hour nor the day when comes the son of man.
38 Let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous things, nor with the cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared.
39 Keep watch at every season of the year; and pray that you may meet the Lord with joy and not with grief.
