Stay alert for the coming of the master

Mark 13:32–37

32 ⇔“But as for the date or time when all that will happen, only the father knows that—even the son and the messengers in heaven don’t know.[ref] 33 So watch out, observe current events, and be praying, because you won’t know exactly when all this will happen. 34 It can all be compared to a man who was about to leave his home and go on a trip. Before he leaves, he gives certain jobs and responsibilities to his various slaves, and instructs his security guard to stay alert.[ref] 35 So you all watch and stay alert, because you don’t know when the master of the house might return—perhaps one evening or at midnight, or at dawn or maybe mid-morning. 36 ⇔You certainly don’t want to be caught napping when he comes, 37 and what I’m telling all of you now, I tell everyone: stay alert and watch.”

Mat 24:36–44

36 “No one knows the exact day or time—not even the messengers in the heavens, or even the son—only the father knows it. 37 The son of humanity’s arrival will be just like it was in Noah’s time.[ref] 38 In the days leading up to the flood, people were eating and drinking, and marrying and getting engaged—right until the very day that Noah got into the barge. 39 They didn’t realise that something was coming until the flood came and took everything away.[ref] It’ll be just like that when the son of humanity comes. 40 Two people will be working out on the farm—one will be taken and one left behind. 41 Two people will be grinding grain—one will be taken and one left behind. 42 So keep watching, because none of you know exactly when your master will return. 43 But you do know that if a home-owner knew when a thief was going to come, he’d be there watching, and not allow the thief to break into the house.[ref] 44 Because of that, you apprentices should also get ready, because otherwise you won’t realise when the son of humanity is coming.

Luk 12:36-38:

36 like someone who’s waiting for their master. When he leaves the wedding celebrations and comes and knocks, you’ll be ready to immediately open the door.[ref] 37 The master would bless the slaves that are ready, watching for when he arrives. I can assure you that he’ll dress himself and then he’ll seat them on couches and come and serve them there himself. 38 If he arrives around midnight or even in the small hours of the morning, he’ll find them ready. Yes, they’ll be blessed.

12:36: Mrk 13:34-36.

Gen 6:5-8:

5 Then Yahweh saw that the humankind’s wickedness on the earth was extensive, and that every inclination of their inner thoughts was only evil all day long.[ref] 6 So Yahweh regretted that he had made humankind on the earth and he was deeply saddened, 7 so he said, “This humankind that I created, I will completely destroy them from the surface of the ground, along with the animals, and crawling creatures and the birds of the sky, because I regret that I made them.” 8 However, Yahweh noticed Noah and was pleased with him.

6:5-8: Mat 24:37; Luk 17:26; 1Pe 3:20.

Gen 7:6-24:

6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth, 7 and he went into the wooden chest along with his wife, his three sons and their wives, in order to escape from the floodwaters.[ref] 8 ‘Clean’ and ‘unclean’ animals, the birds, and everything that lived on the ground 9 came to Noah in male and female pairs and went into the chest, just like God had instructed Noah. 10 Then when the seven days were up, water started to flood the earth.

11 When Noah was 600 years old (and around the beginning of May), deep underwater geysers in the ocean started spouting out water, and the skies began to drop heavy rain[ref] 12 that continued day and night for forty days. 13 That was the very day that Noah and Yefet (Japheth) and Shem and Ham and their wives had all entered the wooden chest. 14 They had with them every kind of living creature, including every kind of livestock and every other kind of creature that lives on the land, and every kind of bird and everything else that flies. 15 They had come to Noah in order to enter the chest—two by two of every creature with the breath of life. 16 So pairs of males and females of every creature entered just as God had instructed Noah, then Yahweh closed the door and they were shut in.

17 Then the flood came onto the earth for forty days, and the water rose so that the wooden chest was lifted up right off the land. 18 The water continued to rise and get deeper on the earth, and the chest floated along on top of the water. 19 Eventually the water on the earth got so deep that all the high mountains everywhere under the sky were under water—20 in fact the water rose over seven metres above the tops of them. 21 By then every living creature that lived on the earth had drowned—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms on the earth, and all humankind. 22 Everything that had the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils, everything that lived on dry land, died. 23 That’s how Yahweh completely annihilated every living creature off the earth, including humankind and livestock and crawling creatures and even the birds. Everything was annihilated except for Noah and those with him in the floating chest, 24 and the earth remained in full flood for 150 days.

39 But you should also know this: if the home-owner knew what time the thief would arrive, he’d be ready watching and not allow his house to be burgled.[ref] 40 So you all need to be ready because you don’t know when I, the son of humanity, am going to arrive.”
