Matthew 24:36-44
36 “No one knows, however, when that day and hour will come—neither
the angels in heaven nor the Son; the Father alone knows. 37 The coming
of the Son of Man will be like what happened in the time of Noah. 38 In the
days before the flood people ate and drank, men and women married, up
to the very day Noah went into the boat; 39 yet they did not realize what
was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how
it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 At that time two men will be
working in a field: one will be taken away, the other will be left
behind. 41 Two women will be at a mill grinding meal: one will be taken
away, the other will be left behind. 42 Watch out, then, because you do not
know what day your Lord will come. 43 If the owner of a house knew the
time when the thief would come, you can be sure that he would stay awake
and not let the thief break into his house. 44 So then, you also must always
be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not
expecting him.
