when he arrives without warning.

Mark 13:31

…the sun will be darkened

the moon will give no light,

the stars will fall from the sky,

and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

the Son of Man coming on the clouds

with great power and glory.

And he will send out his angels

to gather his chosen ones from all over the world—

from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

Mark 13:24-27
