It is clear from these verses that no-one except the Father knows when the world will end with Jesus’ return! And perhaps this is the wrong question to ask. Instead a better question is how can we be ready for when it does?
Five ways we can be ready are outlined in these verses. Firstly, we can be obedient to God, his laws, commands, and instructions. Secondly, we can stay awake and be alert not allowing distractions or a passivity to creep in. Thirdly, we can use the gifts that God has blessed us with to achieve his Godly purposes. Fourthly, we can care for others instead of harming others. Finally, and most importantly we can live life knowing Jesus personally & intimately. In everything we do, doing it with him, and for his glory.
