Luke 21:34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Study Note
Jesus's eschatological warning — 'take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap' — redirects eschatological expectation from speculation about timing to moral vigilance. The three dangers listed (debauchery, drunkenness, anxieties) are not extraordinary vices but the ordinary temptations of comfort and preoccupation that erode eschatological alertness. The 'trap' (pagis) metaphor implies that unreadiness is not inevitable — it results from failure to remain watchful. Paul echoes the teaching in 1 Thessalonians 5:3-8, using the 'thief in the night' image (comparing 2 Peter 3:10) and the call to sober vigilance as the proper posture of the eschatological community.
