15 JUDGMENT & SALVATION (cont'd)
And shall not God avenge his elect, which
cry to him day and night, and he is long-suffering over them? I say unto you,
that he will avenge them speedily. Howbeit when the Son of man cometh, shall
he find faith on the earth?
l1807-8
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo,
here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
l1720-1
The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of
man, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here!
go not away, nor follow after them: for as the lightning, when it lighteneth
out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under
heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
l1722-4/m2419/k1317-9
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea,
and gathered of every kind: which, when it was filled, they drew up on the
beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they
cast away. So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come
forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, and shall cast them into
the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
m1347-50
Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; and be ye yourselves
like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage
feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
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 sit down to
meat, and shall come and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch,
and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
l1235-8
Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. But know this,
that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming,
he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken
through. Therefore be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son
of man cometh.
m2442-4/k1335-7/l1239-40
But take heed of yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you
suddenly as a snare: for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face
of all the earth. But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye
may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand
before the Son of man.
l2134-6/k1333
Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his
household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say
unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. But if that servant
shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat
the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an
hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion
with the unfaithful. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and made
not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with
few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required:
and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
l1242-8/m2445-51
But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of
thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? So is he
that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. l1220-1
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your
children. For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed
are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave
suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the
hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be
done in the dry?
