Mark 13.33->

"Be alert; be wakeful. You do not know when the moment comes.

"It is like a man away from home; he has left his house and put his servants in charge, each with his own work to do, and he has ordered the door-keeper to stay awake. Keep awake, then, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming. Evening or midnight, cock-crow or early dawn--if he comes suddenly, he must not find you asleep. And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Keep awake."

Mark 13.28-32

"Learn a lesson from the fig-tree. When its tender shoots appear and are breaking into leaf, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all this happening, you may know that the end is near [note: "Or that he is near], at the very door. I tell you this, the present generation will live to see it all. Heaven and earth will pass away; my words will never pass away."

"But about that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son, only the Father."

Mark 13.24-27

"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

"And then they will see the son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then he will send out the angel, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of Heaven.

Mark 13.21-23

"Then, it anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah,' or 'Look, there he is,' do not believe it. Impostors will come claiming to be messiahs or prophets, and they will produce signs and wonders to mislead God's chosen, if such a thing were possible. But you be on your guard; I have forewarned you of it all."

Mark 13.14-20

"But when you see the 'abomination of desolation' usurping a place which is not his (Let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must take to the hills. If a man is on the roof, he must not come down into the house to fetch anything out; if in the field, he must not come back for his cloak.

"Alas for women with child in those days, and for those who have children at the breast! Pray that it may not come in winter. For those days will bring distress such as never has been until now since the creation of the world--and never will be again. If the Lord had not cut short that time of troubles, no living thing could survive. However, for the sake of his own, whom He has chosen, He has cut short the time."
