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!
Matthew 24:36-44
24:36 "But about that day and
hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the
Father.
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 Two women
will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be
left.
24:42 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.
