Mark 13: 24-27 But in tho e day after the tribulation the sun hall be darkened, and the moon hall not give her light, and the tar of heaven hall fall, and the power that are in heaven hall be haken. And then hall they ee the Son of Man coming in the cloud with great power and glory. And then hall He end Hi angel , and hall gather together Hi elect from the four wind , from the uttermo t part of earth to the uttermo t part of heaven. We notice that the aints will be gathered from heaven and from the earth, indicating the re toration of the ot1l \\ ith the body. During the Great Tribulation (Matt. 24: 15-26, Mark 13: 14-23) there will be a great laughter of both Jewish and Gentile aints, who will not receive the mark of the Beast, or wor hjp hi image (Rev. 13: 11- 18).
