Luke 21:9

9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history and no sign of the end."

Luke 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:9

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions
Or seditions and tumults; "wars" may design the wars of the Romans, against the Jews; and the "commotions", or seditions, the internal troubles among themselves: be not terrified;
as if the destruction of the nation, city, and temple, would be at once: for these things must first come to pass, but the end is not by
and by;
or "immediately". The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions leave out this last word, and read, as in (See Gill on Matthew 24:6).

9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, keep your head and don't panic. This is routine history and no sign of the end."

10 He went on, "Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over.

11 Huge earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. You'll think at times that the very sky is falling.
