Matthew 24:36-44

Bible Text

[36] But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [38] For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, [39] and they didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [40] Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left; [41] two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left. [42] Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes. [43] But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. [44] Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come.

The Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, is where Jesus delivered this discourse; the Holy Place was the temple sanctuary in Jerusalem, and Judea the surrounding Jewish region. These locations frame the preceding warnings of local flight and temple crisis,
