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 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;

26 men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
