    "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but
    my Father only . . . Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord
    doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have
    suffered his house to be broken up . . . The lord of that servant shall come
    in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware
    of,"
    Matthew 24:36, 42-43, 50, KJV

    "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son
    of man cometh."
    Matthew 25:13, KJV

    "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things . . . But of that
    day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know
    not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey,
    who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
    And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
    Mark 13:23, 32-37, KJV

    "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the
    wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him
    immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make
    them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he
    shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them
    so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the
    house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and
    not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready
    also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not."
    Luke 12:35-40, KJV

    "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
    with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day
    come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell
    on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
    and to stand before the Son of man."
    Luke 21:34-36, KJV

    "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief
    in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day
    should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let
    us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."
    1 Thessalonians 5:2-6, KJV

    "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
    2 Peter 3:10, KJV

    "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,
    and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
    Revelation 3:3, KJV

    "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
    Revelation 16:15, KJV

    "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."
    Amos 3:7, KJV

    Thinking on these:

    Rembering the parable of the servants given a talent and the
    master goes away, and when he returns he inquires what they did
    with the talent...

    I was hungry and you gave me to eat...

    I believe the warning is that Jesus will come like a thief in
    the night, secretly, but the penalty for not being watchful will
    not be for not watching your property, but not being watchful
    over your duties. Not having kept to what you knew you were
    supposed to do, feed the hungry, give drink to the thirst, etc.

    And all this "End times" concern is misplaced. Praying harder
    and supporting Israel to bring on the second coming are acts of
    pride, not devotion. Feeding the hungry and careing for the sick
    etc are what we need to focus on.

    "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
    angels of heaven, but my Father only . . . Watch therefore:
    for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know
    this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what
    watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
    would not have suffered his house to be broken up . . . The
    lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh
    not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,"
    Matthew 24:36, 42-43, 50, KJV



    "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
    wherein the Son of man cometh."
    Matthew 25:13, KJV
