1 Samuel 3:1 - 4:22

- God calls the young Samuel at night with a message of judgment on Eli's house for his sons' wickedness; Samuel relays it faithfully.

- Israel suffers defeat by the Philistines, Eli's sons die, the Ark is captured, and Eli falls dead upon hearing the news.

Matthew 24:29-51

- Jesus describes cosmic signs, his visible return in glory, and the gathering of the elect after great tribulation.

- He urges watchfulness like a faithful servant, warning that no one knows the exact day or hour of his coming.
