watch and pray !
Luke 21:
25 “And there will be
signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of
nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men’s hearts
failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on
the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Then they will see
the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Now when these
things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption
draws near.”
29 Then He spoke to
them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 When they are
already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 So you also, when
you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Assuredly, I say to
you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.
33 Heaven and earth
will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
34 “But take heed to
yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and
cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
35 For it will come as
a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore,
and pray always that you may be counted worthy[c]
to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of Man.”
37 And in the daytime
He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the
mountain called Olivet. 38
Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.
