This chapter deals with eschatology, primarily. Eschatology is the study of the end times. If you'd like to read a secular definition of Christian Eschatology take a look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_eschatology It's a pretty good overview.
There are a few views of the end times that are popular today. They all take a biblical yet different interpretation of how the end times will or, in some instances, have come about. I'm going to stay out of it. I have my beliefs but I can't prove one over the other so I am going to leave it alone.
The view that all the above named groups can agree on is: Jesus will return one day as King and rule the earth. "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory!" v 30
What we need to be doing in the meantime: "Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes." v45-46
Another words, continue the good work that you are doing for Him and don't worry about it. Love, Serve, Give.
