26 as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.

Luke 21:26 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:26

Men's hearts failing them for fear
Of what these signs in the heaven, earth, and sea portend:

and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth;
on the land of Judea:

for the powers of heaven shall be shaken;
(See Gill on Matthew 24:29).

Luke 21:26 In-Context

24 Some will fall by the edge of the sword, others will be carried into all the countries of the Goyim, and Yerushalayim will be trampled down by the Goyim until the age of the Goyim has run its course.
25 "There will appear signs in the sun, moon and stars; and on earth, nations will be in anxiety and bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea,
26 as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with tremendous power and glory.
28 When these things start to happen, stand up and hold your heads high; because you are about to be liberated!"
