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 away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves:

26 Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.

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

28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
