Mark 13:32

Plain English Version

Then Jesus said, “I’m telling you straight. Nobody knows the time when God will do these things. Nobody knows what day it will be, or what the time will be on the clock. God’s angel messengers in heaven don’t know. Even I don’t know. My father in heaven is the only one that knows.

Fire will burn up everything in it. And God will finish up all the earth and everything on it.
