Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:20-27

§ 97. WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD? JESUS ANSWERS TO BOTH PHARISEES AND APOSTLES, Luke 17:20-27 . We have here to the end of this chapter a remarkable series of passages, bearing a somewhat mysterious relation to the great Second Advent discourse delivered on Mount Olivet. Matthew 25:26. We may divide it into two sections, delivered obviously at different times and to different parties. The section 20, 21, is expressly said to be delivered to the Pharisees. The section 22-37 is also said to be... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:22-30

The external kingdom ( at the advent) explained to the disciples, Luke 17:22-30. As Jesus had to the Pharisees checked all their Lo, heres and Lo, theres by referring the kingdom to the inner man, the disciples seem on a late occasion to have questioned him whether there was no external kingdom and coming. Jesus replies, (Luke 17:22-25,) that after his departure their intense desire for his presence may dispose them to believe in a Jesus disclosing himself on earth; but his final... read more

28. Days of Lot Were this entire part 26-37 a fragmentary report by a fourth hand of some passage in the great discourse on Olivet, this passage would be additional to what has been furnished by any other hand. Eat… drank… bought… sold… planted… builded All these describe not any special course of sinfulness, but a regular train of careless daily life, expecting no sudden advent of destruction. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:29

29. Rained fire and brimstone A terrible likeness of a flaming fire, described, in 2 Thessalonians 1:8, as attending the Second Coming of the Son of man. Passages belonging to the Olivet discourse, (Matthew 24:25,) furnished by a fourth reporter, 31-37. Luke 17:31-33 belong after Matthew 24:16, and apply to Jerusalem’s destruction. Luke 17:34-36 are to be identified with Matthew 24:40-41, and apply to the Second Advent. See our notes on the passages in Matthew. read more
