Context of Matthew 24:35
33In the same way, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the door. 34“I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all these things take place. The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear. 36“No one knows when that day or hour will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son don’t know. Only the Father knows. 37“When the Son of Man comes again, it will be exactly like the days of Noah.
