4636. That by this parable the Lord described His own coming, is evident from the particulars, and from the end, where He says, "Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh," as He also says in the foregoing chapter [Matt. 24], where He is speaking expressly of His coming: "Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh" (Matt. 24:42). That His "coming" is the consummation of the age, or the last time of the church, has been shown before.
