The essential elements of Jesus’ warning are that no one knows when He will return, and we have to be in a state of preparedness, always watching for His imminent return. Jesus warned that we should always be prepared because no one except the Father knows the hour of His return (Matthew 24:36–44).
Ang esensyal na elemento sa babalang ito ni Hesus ay walang sinuman ang nakaaalam ng Kanyang pagbabalik at nararapat na tayo ay laging handa at nagbabantay sa Kanyang nalalapit na pagbabalik. Nagbabala si Hesus na dapat tayong laging handa dahil walang nakaaalam ng araw o oras ng kanyang muling pagparito kundi ang Ama lamang (Mateo 24:36-44).
