Berean Standard Bible

“When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.””

Luke 21:28

Save as image

Study note

Jesus speaks in Luke 21 about troubling events: wars, distress among nations and signs in the heavens, and the coming of the Son of Man. Christians have interpreted the timing and details of these teachings in different ways, some linking parts to the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70 and others to the end of the age.
