30aThen the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, band then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31aAnd He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His1elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The Parable of the Fig Tree
32“Now learn athis parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
33So you also, when you see all these things, know athat it is near—at the doors!
34Assuredly, I say to you, athis generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
35aHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
No One Knows the Day or Hour
36a“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of1heaven,bbut My Father only.
37But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38aFor as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40aThen two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Matthew 24:32:
Matthew 24:32-44
1. Watch and be ready.
His command to watch here can be translated as be alert, be on guard, stay awake, stay vigilant, and of course, as it is here in the New King James, watch. If you want to jot down Mark 12:23, Luke 12:40, Luke 21:34 and 36, there are also commands there that say basically the same thing: watch, stay alert, stay vigilant, be on guard. So He is urging us here to remain aware of what is happening from a spiritual perspective. We can put it negatively if we want: do not fall asleep, like the Ten Virgins do, or as the three apostles did in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus is saying, could you not stay up with Me for a little while? Nope, they had to get their Z's.
