so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.<br \/>\n40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.<br \/>\n41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.<br \/>\n42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.<br \/>\n43 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.<br \/>\n44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.<br \/>\n45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?<br \/>\n46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.<br \/>\n47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.<br \/>\n48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;<br \/>\n49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;<br \/>\n50 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,<br \/>\n51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Acts 1:8-11 (KJV)<br \/>\n8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.<br \/>\n9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.<br \/>\n10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;<br \/>\n11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Proverbs 18:10 (KJV)<br \/>\n10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah 24:19-23 (KJV)<br \/>\n19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.<br \/>\n20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.<br \/>\n21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.<br \/>\n22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.<br \/>\n23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.<\/p>\n<p>1 Corinthians 15:20-28 (KJV)<br \/>\n20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.<br \/>\n21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.<br \/>\n22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.<br \/>\n23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ\u2019s at his coming.<br \/>\n24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.<br \/>\n25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.<br \/>\n26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.<br \/>\n27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.<br \/>\n28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.<\/p>\n<p>1 Corinthians 15:42-58 (KJV)<br \/>\n42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:<br \/>\n43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:<br \/>\n44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.<br \/>\n45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.<br \/>\n46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.<br \/>\n47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.<br \/>\n48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.<br \/>\n49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.<br \/>\n50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.<br \/>\n51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,<br \/>\n52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.<br \/>\n53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.<br \/>\n54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.<br \/>\n55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?<br \/>\n56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.<br \/>\n57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<br \/>\n58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Lamb of God Remove a block or object of stumbling.
