Therefore, you, too, must be ready because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.
The Son of Man will come again just as lightning flashes from east to west.
“Therefore, be alert, because you don’t know on what day your Lord will return.
You realize that if a homeowner had known at what time of the night a thief was coming, he would have stayed awake. He would not have let the thief break into his house.
“While they were buying oil, the groom arrived. The bridesmaids who were ready went with him into the wedding hall, and the door was shut.
“So stay awake, because you don’t know the day or the hour.
“Of course, you realize that if the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let him break into his house.
Be ready, because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.”
Be alert at all times. Pray so that you have the power to escape everything that is about to happen and to stand in front of the Son of Man.”
Let everyone know how considerate you are. The Lord is near.
Brothers and sisters, stop complaining about each other, or you will be condemned. Realize that the judge is standing at the door.
Let us rejoice, be happy, and give him glory because it’s time for the marriage of the lamb. His bride has made herself ready.
