"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' "
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father."
Acts 1:7
He said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority." (see Acts 1:1-11)
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
"Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come."
Matthew 25:13
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour." (see Matthew 25:1-13)
1 Thessalonians 5:6
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. (see 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
Luke 12:35-36
"Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him."
