Luke 21:35

35 like a trap. It will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the whole 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.

33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.

34 "Take care that your hearts aren't dulled by drinking parties, drunkenness, and the anxieties of day-to-day life. Don't let that day fall upon you unexpectedly,

35 like a trap. It will come upon everyone who lives on the face of the whole earth.

36 Stay alert at all times, praying that you are strong enough to escape everything that is about to happen and to stand before the Human One."

37 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, but he spent each night on the Mount of Olives.
