The Watchful Doorkeeper

Markos 13:33–37

What Yeshua is saying

A man on a journey leaves his servants in charge and the doorkeeper to watch; they do not know when the master returns — evening, midnight, cockcrow, or dawn.

The explanation

Yeshua closes His Har HaZeitim discourse with one word: watch. The hour of His return is not given. The doorkeeper does not slack; the servants do their assigned work. Watching is faithful living, not anxious gazing. What He says to a few He says to all: watch.
