"I tell you the truth, this generation (or race) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."
this generation
Luke 11:50 "Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, ..."
Luke 17:25 "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation."
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away
Matthew 5:18 "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life
Mark 4:18-19 "Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful."
that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap
Luke 12:40 "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
Luke 12:46a "The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of."
1 Thessalonians 5:2 ... for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
Be always on the watch, and pray
Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
