Context of Luke 21:33
31In the same way, when you see these things happen, you know that God’s kingdom is near. 32“I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all this takes place. The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear. 34“Make sure that you don’t become drunk, hung over, and worried about life. Then that day could suddenly catch you by surprise 35like a trap that catches a bird. That day will surprise all people who live on the earth.
