Luke 21:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 21:23

21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.

22 For these are the days of vengeance, that ^aall things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 ^aBut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.

24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles ^auntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 ^a“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, ^afor the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Then they will see the Son of Man ^acoming in a cloud with power and great glory.
