The Command to Watch
De Witt S. Clark. Luke 21:36 Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass… Two facts concerning His advent are plainly stated and they are all that a majority of His Church will perceive, namely: that we are ignorant of the time of the end; that it will be sudden. I. THE READY SOUL IS THE DILIGENT. II. THE READY SOUL IS THE VIGILANT. III. THE READY SOUL IS THE PRAYERFUL. (De Witt S. Clark.)

WEB: Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."
