29"Soon after the trouble of those days, this will happen: 'The sun will become
dark, and the moon will not give light. The stars will fall from the sky, and everything
in the sky will be changed.' (Isaiah 13:10; 34:4)
30"At that time, there will be something in the sky that shows the Son of Man* coming.
All the people of the world will cry. All the people will see the Son of Man coming
on the clouds in the sky. The Son of Man will come with power and great glory. 31The
Son of Man will use a loud trumpet to send his angels all around the earth. The
angels will gather his chosen people from every part of the earth. 32"The fig tree
teaches us a lesson: When the fig tree's branches become green and soft, and new
leaves begin to grow, then you know that summer is near. 33It is the same with
these things that I told you would happen. When you see all these things happening,
you will know that the time* is near, ready to come. 34I tell you the truth. All
these things will happen while the people of this time* are still living! 35The
whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but the words I have said will never
be destroyed!
Only God Knows When the Time Will Be
(Mk. 13:32-37; Lk. 17:26-30, 34-36)
36"No person knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the angels in heaven
don't know when that day or time will be. Only the Father knows. 37When the Son
of Man* comes, it will be the same as the thing that happened during Noah's time.
38In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. People were marrying
and giving their children to be married. The people were still doing those things
until the day Noah entered the boat. 39Those people knew nothing about what was
happening. But then the flood came and all those people were destroyed. It will
be the same when the Son of Man comes. 40Two men will be working together in the
field. One man will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding grain
with a mill.* One woman will be taken and the other woman will be left. 42"So always
be ready. You don't know the day your Lord will come. 43Remember this: If the owner
of the house knew what time the thief was coming, then the owner would be ready
for him. The owner would watch and not let the thief enter his house. 44So you also
must be ready. The Son of Man* will come at a time when you don't expect him.
Good Servants and Bad Servants
(Lk. 12:41-48)
45"Who is the wise and trusted servant? The master trusts one servant to give the
other servants their food at the right time. Who is the servant that the master
trusts to do that work? 46When the master comes and finds that servant doing the
work he gave him, the servant will be very happy. 47I tell you the truth. The master
will choose that servant to take care of everything the master owns. 48But what
will happen if the servant is evil and thinks his master will not come back soon?
49Then that servant will begin to beat the other servants. That servant will eat
the food and get drunk with other people like him. 50Then the master of that servant
will come when the servant is not ready. It will be a time when the servant is not
expecting the master. 51Then the master will punish that servant. The master will
send him away to be with the hypocrites.* And in that place people will cry and
grind their teeth [with pain].
