Luke 21:35

35 For it will close in on everyone, no matter where they live, throughout the whole world.

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 pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.

34 "But keep watch on yourselves, or your hearts will become dulled by carousing, drunkenness and the worries of everyday living, and that Day will be sprung upon you suddenly like a trap!

35 For it will close in on everyone, no matter where they live, throughout the whole world.

36 Stay alert, always praying that you will have the strength to escape all the things that will happen and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man."
