Luke 21:35

35 For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

Luke 21:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:35

For as a snare shall it come
In which a bird is suddenly taken, and cannot get out again; the Persic version renders it, "as lightning and the splendour of the sun"; which break out at once, and enlighten the whole earth; so the destruction of the Jewish nation should be sudden and unavoidable, and universal; for it should come on all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth:
or land of Judea; and so it was, for not only Jerusalem, but all Judea, and Galilee, suffered in this desolation.

Luke 21:35 In-Context

33 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

34 But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

35 For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

36 But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

37 And every day he was teaching in the Temple and every night he went out to the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives to take his rest.
