Jesus goes up on the mountain by Himself to pray Jesus returns to heaven; intercedes for His own
(Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25)

Boat tossed by the waves; wind is contrary Enmity of the world to the gospel (Jn 17:14)

Disciples straining at rowing (Mk 6:48) True believers enduring to the end (Gal 6:9)

Jesus comes to them, just before new day Rapture; end of church age (2 Th 2:1)
