Luke 21:34-36

Luke 21:34-36

[34] And  take heed  to yourselves,  hearts  with  surfeiting,  and  drunkenness,  and  cares  of this life,  and  so that  day  come  upon  unawares.  [35] For  shall it come  on  all  them that dwell  on  the face  of the whole  earth.  [36] Watch ye  and pray  always,  that  to escape  all  that shall  come to pass,  and  to stand  before  the Son  of man. 

What does Luke 21:34-36 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke concluded his account of the Olivet Discourse with Jesus" exhortation to remain ready for what He had predicted. Jesus" words presupposed an interval before His coming, but He allowed that His coming might occur in the lifetime of His hearers. Nothing that He said precluded the passing of millennia before His coming.
