Jesus commends the poor widow.5. He foretells the destruction of the temple, and of the city Jerusalem; 25. the signs also which shall be before the last day. 34. He exhorts them to be watchful. When these things begin to happen This phrase refers to the preceding signs Jesus describes in Luke 21, which include natural disasters, celestial disturbances, and societal upheavals. The Greek word for "begin" (ἄρχω, archō) implies the initiation of a sequence of events. Historically, these signs have been interpreted as precursors to the end times, a period of tribulation before Christ's return. The phrase encourages believers to be vigilant and discerning, recognizing the fulfillment of prophecy as a testament to God's sovereign plan. stand up lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near Redemption.--The word, familiar as it is to us, is, in the special form here used, another of those characteristic of St. Paul's phraseology (Romans 3:24; Romans 8:23; 1Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:7, et al.). It occurs also in Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 11:35. In its primary meaning here it points to the complete deliverance of the disciples from Jewish persecutions in Palestine that followed on the destruction of Jerusalem. The Church of Christ was then delivered from what had been its most formidable danger. . . . Verses 28-36. - Practical teaching arising the foregoing prophecy respecting the Jerusalem and the "last things." Verse 28. - And when these things begin to come to pan, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. There is no doubt that the first reference in this verse is to the earlier part of the prophecy - the fate of the city and the ruin of the Jewish power. "Your redemption" would then signify "your deliverance from the constant and bitter hostility of the Jewish authority." After A.D. and the fall of Jerusalem, the growth of Christianity was far more rapid than it had been the first thirty or forty years of its It had no longer to cope with the skilfully ordered, relentless opposition of its deadly Jewish foe. Yet between the lines a yet deeper meaning is discernible. In all times the earnest Christian is on the watch for the signs of the advent of his Lord, and the restless watch serves to keep hope alive, for the watcher knows that that advent will be the sure herald of his redemption from all the weariness and painfulness of this life.Parallel Commentaries ...
