your guard, I have forewarned you of everything. If then they say to you, "look, he's in the desert", do not go there or "look, he is in
some secret location", do not believe it! For as the lightning, when it strikes in the East illuminates the sky even to the West, so will
be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there will the vultures gather together.
Immediately after the distress of those days, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars. The sun will be darkened, the moon
will lose its brightness and from the sky, the stars will fall come falling from heaven. On the earth, the nations will be in distress,
bewildered by the roaring of the oceans and its' waves. And men, as a result of anticipating the things that are coming upon the earth
will faint out of fear for the powers that are in heaven will be shaken. And then, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven and
all the peoples of the earth will beat their breasts and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power
and great glory. He will then send his angels, with a loud trumpet, to gather his chosen from the four winds; from one end of heaven
to the other, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. When these things begin to take place, lift up your heads and look up
because your liberation is near at hand.
Matthew 24:23-31; Mark 13:21-27; Luke 21:25-28

JESUS.
Look at the fig tree and indeed all the trees. As soon as their twigs grow tender and you see them bud, and their leaves come out, you
know that summer is near. So with you, when you see all these things occurring, know that the Kingdom of God is near and that He is
near at the very gates. I tell you most sincerely, before this generation has passed away, all these things will have taken place. Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. But as for the day and hour, no one knows it! Neither the angels of
Heaven, nor the Son, no one, but only the Father.
Matthew 24:32-36; Mark 13:28-32; Luke 21:29-33

Remain on the Alert

JESUS.
Watch yourselves at all times for fear that your hearts become weighed down with overeating and drinking, drunkenness and the cares
of this life and that day arrives without your notice. For like a snare, it will come down on everyone living on the face of the earth.
Stay awake, praying constantly that you are strong enough to escape all these things that are going to happen and to stand erect, with
confidence before the Son of Man.
Luke 21:34-36
For as it was in the days of Noah, so will the be coming of the Son of Man. In those days before the flood, people were eating and
drinking, marrying and being given in marriage right up 'til the day that Noah entered into the ark. They suspected nothing at all until
the flood came and swept them all away. So it will be when the Son of Man comes. At that time, two men will be in the fields; one
will be taken and the other left. Two woman will be at the millstone grinding; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore, be on the
lookout, because you do not know the hour that your master is coming. But you can be quite sure of this, that if the head of the house
had known at what time of the night the thief was going to arrive, he would have stayed awake and would not have permitted anyone
to break through the wall of his house. Therefore, you also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man
is coming.
Matthew 24:37-44
Be on your guard, watch and pray because you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man taking a journey to a far off land
leaving his house and placing his servants in charge, each having his own duties to perform and has instructed the doorkeeper to keep
watch. So be on the alert, because you do not know when the master of the house is returning; in the evening, at midnight, when the
cock crows or in the morning. He must not find you sleeping if he arrives unexpectedly. And what I say to you, I say to all. Keep on
the watch!
Mark 13:33-37
