Leviticus 23:26-32 & Luke 21:34-38 (New Living Translation)

LEVITICUS 23:26-32
The Day Of Atonement
26  Then the Lord said to Moses,
27  “Be careful to celebrate the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of that same month—nine days after the Festival of Trumpets.  You must observe it as an official day for holy assembly, a day to deny yourselves and present special gifts to the Lord.
28  Do no work during that entire day because it is the Day of Atonement, when offerings of purification are made for you, making you right with the Lord your God.
29  All who do not deny themselves that day will be cut off from God’s people.
30  And I will destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day.
31  You must not do any work at all! This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation wherever you live.
32  This will be a Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and on that day you must deny yourselves. This day of rest will begin at sundown on the ninth day of the month and extend until sundown on the tenth day.”

LUKE 21:34-38
The Need To Watch
34  “Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, 
35  like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. 
36  Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.”
37  Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives.
38  The crowds gathered at the Temple early each morning to hear him.
