Matthew 12:43-45King James Version (KJV)
43When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. |

MARK 3:24-26 - KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
REFLECTION In this very climactic encounter with the Pharisees over Jesus’ reshaped definition of thekingdom of God,He show the absurdity of the charge of casting out demons by Satan’s power. On the contrary, the exorcisms demonstrate the penetration of Satan’s kingdom by the kingdom of God in Jesus. |

Matthew 12:29 - King James Version (KJV)
29Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
In this very climactic encounter with the Pharisees over Jesus’ reshaped definition of the kingdom of God, He shows the absurdity of the charge of casting out demons by Satan’s power. On the contrary, the exorcisms demonstrate the penetration of Satan’s kingdom by the kingdom of God in Jesus. Jesus binding and plundering of the strong man was further inaugurated by His crucifixion and resurrection, is propagated by the church and will be consummated through the events of Age to Come.

Matthew 24:42-51) (KJV) 42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. |

 Mark 13:33-37 King James Version (KJV) 33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter
to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. |
