Mark 13:32-37 Part 2 of 2

    "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!' " 

 

"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."

Luke 12:37-38  

    "It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or towards daybreak."

 

"If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' "  

Luke 12:40  

"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect him." 

Romans 13:11-12  

    And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. the night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.  

(see Romans 13:11-14)

 

"What I say to you, I say to everyone: Watch!"  

Micah 7:7  

But as for me I watch in hope for the LORD,

    I wait for God my Savior;

    my God will hear me.
