Luke 21:33-38

33 Sky and earth will wear out; my words won't wear out.
34 "But be on your guard. Don't let the sharp edge of your expectation get dulled by parties and drinking and shopping. Otherwise, that Day is going to take you by complete surprise, spring on you suddenly like a trap,
35 for it's going to come on everyone, everywhere, at once.
36 So, whatever you do, don't go to sleep at the switch. Pray constantly that you will have the strength and wits to make it through everything that's coming and end up on your feet before the Son of Man."
37 He spent his days in the Temple teaching, but his nights out on the mountain called Olives.
38 All the people were up at the crack of dawn to come to the Temple and listen to him.
