Luke 21:26 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:26

Men's hearts failing them for fear

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 They will fall by the sword, or be carried off into slavery among all the Gentiles. And Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles, till the appointed times of the Gentiles have expired.

25 "There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on earth anguish among the nations in their bewilderment at the roaring of the sea and its billows;

26 while men's hearts are fainting for fear, and for anxious expectation of what is coming on the world. For the forces which control the heavens will be disordered and disturbed.

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

28 But when all this is beginning to take place, grieve no longer. Lift up your heads, because your deliverance is drawing near."
