Luke 21:25-26

Tribulation conditions at the end of the times of the Gentiles are again in view (cf. Luke 21:10-11; Revelation 6-18). The scope of these crises is global, not just in Judea (cf. Luke 21:20-21). Probably we should understand the roaring of the sea literally since Jesus also mentioned waves. Evidently the disturbances in the heavens will affect the tides and waves causing great insecurity. Global catastrophes will portend even greater trouble to come for those living on the earth in the Tribulation, and they will fear greatly. The universe will appear to be about to break up.
