Exodus 8:10“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.Exodus 22:29You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.1 Kings 19:20So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?”1 Kings 19:21So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. Using the oxen’s equipment for fuel, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah.Esther 5:8If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, may the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”Proverbs 27:1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.Matthew 8:21Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”Matthew 24:48But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’Matthew 24:49And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.Matthew 24:50The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate.Matthew 24:51Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.Matthew 25:2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.Matthew 25:3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take along any extra oil.Matthew 25:4But the wise ones took oil in flasks along with their lamps.Matthew 25:5When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.Matthew 25:6At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’Matthew 25:7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.Matthew 25:8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’Matthew 25:9‘No,’ said the wise ones, ‘or there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’Matthew 25:10But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut.Matthew 25:11Later the other virgins arrived and said, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’Matthew 25:12But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I do not know you.’Matthew 25:13Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.Luke 9:59Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”Luke 9:60But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”Luke 9:61Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”Luke 9:62Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”Acts 24:25As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”1 Thessalonians 5:2For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.1 Thessalonians 5:3While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.Hebrews 3:7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,Hebrews 3:8do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,Hebrews 3:9where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.Hebrews 3:10Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’Hebrews 3:11So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”Hebrews 3:12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.Hebrews 3:13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.Hebrews 3:14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.Hebrews 3:15As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”Hebrews 3:16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?Hebrews 3:17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?Hebrews 3:18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?Hebrews 3:19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.Hebrews 4:1Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.Hebrews 4:2For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.Hebrews 4:3Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.Hebrews 4:4For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”Hebrews 4:5And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”Hebrews 4:6Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,Hebrews 4:7God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
