BIBLE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE LAST DAYS
21:27 And then [after the signs of
Luke 21:25-26] shall they [the generation on the earth which sees
these signs shall] see
[1] the Son of man coming
[a.] in a
cloud
[b.] with
power and
[c.] [with]
great glory.
21:28 And when these
things
[1]
begin to come
to pass [Jews, born again after the Rapture of the Church, shall
see the beginning of these things (c/p. vs. 31)],
[a.] then look
up, and
[b.] lift up
your heads; for
[c.] your
redemption draweth nigh [the second coming of
Jesus to redeem Israel].
21:29 And he spake to them
a parable;
[1] Behold
[a.] the fig
tree [Israel; c/p. Matt.
24:31, Mark 13:28], and
[b.] all the
trees [all the other nations of the world];
21:30 [2] When they now shoot forth,
[a.] ye see
and
[b.] [ye]know
of your own selves that
[11.] summer is now nigh at hand.
21:31 So likewise ye,
[1] when ye see these things
come to pass [Jesus’ disciples of (Luke
21:7)—or rather His Church—shall
see the beginning of these things (c/p. vs. 28)],
[a.] know ye that the kingdom of God [the millennial kingdom
of the great king Jesus]
[11.] is nigh at hand.
21:32 Verily I say unto
you,
[2] This
generation [the generation that sees the signs of vs.
25-26] shall not pass away,
[a.] till all
be fulfilled.
21:33 [3] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but
[a.] my words shall not pass away.
Jesus
admonishes His disciples to both
watch
and
pray
21:34 And
[1] take heed to yourselves,
[a.] lest at
any time your hearts be overcharged with
[11.] surfeiting, and
[12.] drunkenness, and
[13.] cares of this life, and
[b.] [so]
that day
[11.] come upon you unawares.
21:35 For
[2] as a snare
[a.] shall it
come
[11.] on all them that dwell
[aa.] on the face of the whole earth.
21:36 [1] Watch ye therefore
(Matt. 24:42;
Matt.
25:13;
Mark 13:35-37), and
[2] pray always,
[a.]
that ye may be accounted worthy [worthy by the blood of the Lamb]
[11.] to escape all these things [don’t miss the
Rapture; and don’t loose your faith when you see the signs of verse 25-26]
[aa.]
that shall come to pass, and
[12.] to stand
[ab.] before the Son of man [in the throne room of God (Rev. 7:9)].
