Old/New Testament
After That Affliction, The Powers Will Be Shaken. I Will Come On The Clouds In Glory
29 “And immediately after the affliction of those days, the sun[a] will be darkened, and the moon will not give its glow, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then[b] the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heaven. And at-that-time all the tribes of the earth will beat-their-breasts. And they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send-out His angels with a loud trumpet. And they will gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends[c] of the heavens to their [other] ends.
The Parable of The Fig Tree: When You See These Things, You Know I Am Near
32 “Now learn the parable from the fig-tree[d]: when its branch already becomes tender and grows-out its leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33 So also you— when you see all[e] these things, you know[f] that He[g] is near, at the doors. 34 Truly I say to you that this[h] generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by-no-means pass away.
But No One Knows The Day And Hour, So Keep Watching And Be Prepared Always
36 “But no one knows about that day and hour— not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son— except the Father alone. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also[i] will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 At-that-time there will be two men in the field— one is taken, and one is left; 41 two women grinding at the mill— one is taken[j], and one is left. 42 Therefore keep-watching, because you do not know on which day your Lord is coming. 43 And you know[k] that saying, that if the house-master had known on which watch[l] the thief was coming, he would have kept-watch[m] and would not have allowed his house to be broken-into. 44 For this reason you also be prepared ones— because the Son of Man is coming at an hour which you do not expect.
Wise Servants Found Working When The Master Returns Will Be Put In Charge of More
45 “Who then[n] is the faithful and wise slave whom his master put-in-charge[o] over his body-of-servants[p] that he might give them their food at the proper-time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom his master, having come, will find so doing. 47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge over all his possessions. 48 But if that bad slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying’, 49 and begins to strike his fellow-slaves, and is eating and drinking with the ones being drunk— 50 the master of that slave will come on a day which he does not expect, and at an hour which he does not know. 51 And he will cut him in two, and assign him his part[q] with the hypocrites. In that place, there will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth.
