And he spake to them a parable . "It is certain," went on the Lord to say, "that summer follows the season when the fig tree and other trees put forth their green shoots. It is no less certain that these things—the fall of Jerusalem, and later the end of the world—will follow closely on the signs I have just told you about." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pan away, till all be fulfilled . In the interpretation of this verse, a verse which has occasioned much perplexity to students, any non-natural sense for "generation" ( γεμεά ), such as being an equivalent for the Christian Church (Origen and Chrysostom) or the human race (Jerome) must be at once set aside. γενέα (generation) denotes roughly a period of thirty to forty years. Thus the words of the Lord here simply asserted that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away . A general conclusion to the whole prophecy. "No word of mine," said the Master, "will ever pass away unfulfilled. Some of you will even live to see the terrible fulfillment of the first part of these utterances. All that mighty pile of buildings called Jerusalem will pass away, but my words which told of their coming ruin will remain. All this vast creation, earth, and stars will disappear in their turn, but these sayings... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:33
The immortality of Christian truth. These striking words suggest to us— I. CHRIST 'S CONSCIOUS CONNECTION WITH THE ETERNAL FATHER . Had there not been in him a profound and abiding consciousness that, in a sense far transcending our own experience, God dwelt in him and he in God, these words would have been wholly indefensible; they would have been in the last degree immodest. Proceeding from any other than the Son of God himself, they would have simply repelled us, and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 21:25-26
Luke 21:25-26. There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, &c. These seem to be highly figurative expressions, signifying the decaying of all the glory, excellence, and prosperity of the nation; and the prevalence of universal sadness, misery, and confusion. And upon the earth Or, upon the land, as the words may be rendered; distress of nations with perplexity The Jewish tetrarchies shall be distressed and perplexed: the sea and the waves roaring The roaring of the sea and... read more

Then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud They shall see the accomplishment of what Daniel foretold, by the figurative expression of, “the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven;” for the destruction of the Jewish nation by the Roman armies, and, in after ages, of other persecuting and antichristian powers, and the spreading of my gospel in consequence thereof, according to this my prediction, shall demonstrate to all unprejudiced persons, that I am the Son of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:28
The second redemption. "Lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Jesus Christ led his disciples to think that beyond the redemption which he was working out for them, and subsequent to it in time, was another great deliverance which should prove of unspeakable value to them. This is true now of our discipleship; we look for and we sorely need a second redemption. I. ITS CHARACTER . It is not, like the first, distinctively and purely spiritual. That was ; men were... read more
