Isaiah
2:1-5
2:1 The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem.
2:2
In days to come the mountain of the Lord's house shall be
established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised
above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it.
2:3
Many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he
may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." For
out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem.
2:4
He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many
peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
2:5
O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD!

Romans
13:11-14
13:11 Besides this, you
know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake
from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became
believers;
13:12
the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the
works of darkness and put on the armor of light;
13:13
let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and
drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in
quarreling and jealousy.
13:14
Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for
the flesh, to gratify its desires.

24:37
For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of
Man.
24:38
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah
entered the ark,
24:39
and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all
away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man.
24:40
Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be
left.
24:41

one will be left.

Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is
coming.
24:43
But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what
part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake
and would not have let his house be broken into.
24:44
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at
an unexpected hour.
