LUKE 21:25-38
THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN.
VERSES 25-26...AND THERE SHALL BE SIGNS IN THE SUN, AND IN THE MOON, AND IN THE STARS; AND UPON THE EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS, WITH PERPLEXITY; THE SEA AND THE WAGES ROARING. MEN’S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, AND FOR LOOKING AFTER THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH; FOR THE POWERS OF HEAVEN SHALL BE SHAKEN.
There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars. One earth, whole countries will be in despair, afraid of roar of the sea and the raging tides. Men will faint from fear as they wait for what is coming over the whole earth; for the powers in space will be driven from their course. People will know that strange things are happening but will not understand what is going on.
VERSES 27-28...AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OR MAN COMING IN A CLOUD WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. AND WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, THEN LOOK UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
The Jesus will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory. When these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, for your salvation is near. When these signs happen look up and don’t look down cast for your deliverance is coming.
THE FIG TREE. VERSE 29-33
AND HE SPAKE TO THEM A PARABLE; BEHOLD THE FIG TREE AND ALL THE TREES; WHEN THEY NOW SHOOT FORTH, YE SEE AND KNOW OF YOUR OWN SELVES THAT SUMMER IS NOW NIGHT AT HAND. SO LIKE WISE YE WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS, KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGHT AT HAND. VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY; BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY.
Jesus told the people a parable of the fig tree. Remember the fig tree, and all the other trees, when you see their leaves beginning to appear you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, you will know that the Kingdom of God is about to somed. Remembver this. All these thngs will take place before the people now living have all died. Heaven and earth will pass away; by words will never pass away.
THE NEED TO WATCH. VERSES 34-38
AND TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, LEST AT ANY TIME YOUR HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH SURFEITING, AND DRUNKENNESS, AND CARES O THIS LIFE, AND TO THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES.
FOR AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME ON ALL THEM THAT DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH. WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN. AND IN THE DAY TIME HE WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE; AND AT NIGHT HE WENT OUT, AND ABODE IN THE MOUNT THAT IS CALLED THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. AND ALL THE PEOPLE CAME EARLY IN THE MORNING TO HIM IN THE TEMPLE, FOR TO HEAR HIM.
We need to watch ourselves. Don’t let ourselves become occupied with too much feasting and strong drink and the worries of this life, or that day may come on you suddenly. For it will come like a trap upon all men over the whole earth. Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all these things that will happen, an to stand before the Son of Man. Jesus spent those days teaching in the Temple, and when evening came he would go out and spend the night on the Mount of Olives. All the people would go to the Temple early in the morning to listen to Him.
