Lucas 21:28

28 Y cuando estas cosas comenzaren á hacerse, mirad, y levantad vuestras cabezas, porque vuestra redención está cerca.

Lucas 21:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:28

And when these things begin to come to pass
When the first of these signs appears, or any one of them:

then look up and lift up your heads;
be cheerful and pleasant; do not hang down your heads as bulrushes, but erect them, and put on a cheerful countenance, and look upwards, from whence your help comes; and look out wistfully and intently, for your salvation and deliverance:

for your redemption draweth nigh;
not the redemption of their souls from sin, Satan, the law, the world, death, and hell; for that was to be obtained, and was obtained, before any of these signs took place; nor the redemption of their bodies at the last day, in the resurrection, called the day of redemption; for this respects something that was to be, in the present age and generation; see ( Luke 21:32 ) but the deliverance of the apostles and other Christians, from the persecutions of the Jews, which were very violent, and held till these times, and then they were freed from them: or by redemption is meant, the Redeemer, the son of man, who shall now come in power and glory, to destroy the Jews, and deliver his people; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "for he draws nigh who shall save you".

Lucas 21:28 In-Context

26 Secándose los hombres á causa del temor y expectación de las cosas que sobrevendrán á la redondez de la tierra: porque las virtudes de los cielos serán conmovidas.

27 Y entonces verán al Hijo del hombre, que vendrá en una nube con potestad y majestad grande.

28 Y cuando estas cosas comenzaren á hacerse, mirad, y levantad vuestras cabezas, porque vuestra redención está cerca.

29 Y díjoles una parábola: Mirad la higuera y todos los árboles:

30 Cuando ya brotan, viéndolo, de vosotros mismos entendéis que el verano está ya cerca.
