>And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
>And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. (Matthew 24:1-2)

Again a clear conflation of a physical building or structure with the self or body. This has the literal meaning of referring to the ravages of time, one inner meaning of referring to Jesus’s own death (the body as a temple), and another inner meaning of the inevitable destruction of the pieces of our own personality.

>But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
>But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
>For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
>And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
>Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
>Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
>Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
>But 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.
>Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 24:36-44)

Most scholars and Christians interpret this simply as eschatological, referring to when Jesus will return and the end-times will occur. However, keeping in mind the above ideas of mindfulness, being awake as opposed to asleep, the house as the self, and death possibly destroying our undeveloped selves, this has a totally different meaning.
