I've read the bible all the way through a few times, there's some strange stuff in there, lol. So difficult is the path of faith for men in one direction or another, that (in earlier days when, in the midst of adversaries and full of superstition, men yet clung to the stainless honour of the Son of God)the timid orthodox ventured on the bold step of expunging verses Luke 22:44-45; for what, after all, is so adventurous as this Uzzah-like anxiety for the ark of God? But if she burns the carrots, I say, "Oh you burned the carrots, huh?" Harrison, however, cautioned that "TAKEN is often applied to saints, but it may refer to the gatherings of offenders to judgment (Matthew 13:42). In the ten lepers this blessed principle is brought out clearly. They desired to have their curiosity satisfied concerning the time of it, to which Christ does not give them any answer, but will have their mistakes rectified concerning the nature of it: "It is not for you to know the times of this kingdom, these are secret things, which belong not to you; but the great intentions of this kingdom, these are things revealed." We walk by faith, not by sight. The resurrection is the great truth to which all things turn which the Lord has shown in its final form, too, in His own person now raised from the dead, then just about to follow. (i) Often we are ungrateful to our parents. Always been this way for me. All was in its season. Here is Matthew 24:37-39. Better for him if that had happened to him than he should offend one of the little ones. There we discover Luke 17:30-35 and Matthew 24:37-41 are illustrations of the Judgment of the Nations, which is also called the Sheep and Goat Judgment (Matthew 25:31-46). It simply means that the Christian standard of forgiveness must immeasurably exceed the best the world can achieve. There is not a witness for Jesus now. Thus the parable is a very complete sketch of the general results of the Lord's second advent for the citizens of the world, as well as of the occupation and reward of the servants who serve Him faithfully meanwhile. The NASB simply translates the word as two. the holy city, and only the more guilty, because such was its name and privilege. Both can't be right, and when you get into a place like that I just find that it's probably best to file it away and say, "Well, I'll just wait for further information. He knew neither God nor good. they said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekial+23&version=NIV. I haven't yet because at this moment, I don't believe you. Wherever Christ is, believers will flock to him, and meet in him, as eagles about the prey, without being directed or shown the way, by the instinct of the new nature. Luke alone tells how graciously He noticed their perseverance with Himself in His temptations. God gave us his only Son and often we never give to him even a word of thanks. This is the truth I tell you--on that night there will be two in one bed. His rejection was complete; and Old Testament Scripture was amply fulfilled. Amen.May the Lord be with you, bless you. "It will have a silent entrance, without pomp, without noise; it cometh not with observation," meta paratereseos--with outward show. Kennedy Williamson tells of an old man who was dying. Hotels used to have rules like : no more than 5 men in one bed. It is not a question of signs, wonders, or outward show. Remaining in Jerusalem they should be clothed with power an essential thing for Christianity, and quite distinct from spiritual intelligence already conferred, as is apparent also in Peter's word and way in Acts 1:1-26. And I'm about fall asleep driving home. Didn't matter what they were grinding, one would be taken and one not. No story in all the gospels so poignantly shows man's ingratitude. He was not like a mere man who waited till he could not help following, and then went in steel through the trouble. Another touching, and beautiful trait in our Lord's dealing is here worthy of remark. As a matter of human righteousness it was well; it was the proof that Zaccheus exercised himself as a man to have a conscience void offence in his own way. Therefore, they are not describing the rapture. That would refer to Jesus himself. "And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen: saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."(Ver. There was a sense of grace, as well as of sin, and sensitiveness about God's will. Of course, they are not excluded from but exhorted to, the looking up to God, and using faithfully whatever means the Lord gave them. Surely one of the things which should draw all men together is their common need of God. Sometimes they will be under inward restraints, will not have such tokens of the presence of the Son of man with them as they have had. They were blind. God has many arrows in his quiver, and uses which he will in making war upon his rebellious subjects, for he can make which he will effectual. There was His body; it was risen. The explanation I heard was that sex was long ago called the "little death." Two men in shining array stood by these perplexed saints. But misery had made common brothers of these men. The scene is complete. He only states that it was while the Lord was in the neighbourhood. On the person and position of Christ depends the whole of Christianity. Luke 19:39-40. Hence was it of all importance that we should learn wherein He is to be known. He tells the disciples that it was they who had continued with Him in His temptations. He cannot give us the understanding of a state which we have never experienced, unless it be by figures taken from the present state. But Mandela was very much alive at the time of the conference, and when he died four years later in 2013, he was a free man. When shall we see this long-looked-for kingdom?". So I think it's proper with the disciples just say, "Lord, increase my faith. There was no specified distance at which they should stand, but we know that at least one authority laid it down that, when he was to windward of a healthy person, the leper should stand at least fifty yards away. It's impossible to live your life without having these things happen. He goes boldly to Pilate, and begs the body of Jesus, Which, being obtained, is worthily laid in the rock-hewn sepulchre, wherein never had man beenlaid. "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is. The Mandela Effect is when a large group of people share a common memory of something that differs from what is generally accepted to be fact. The Lord intimates in reply that faith grows, and even in the presence of difficulty. Spite of indifference, an unjust judge yields to the importunity of a poor widow. Was it a fitting time for speaking of himself? Note, It is the folly of many curious enquirers concerning the times to come that they look for that before them which is already among them. "No man can deliver his brother." It was really the Lord who had deigned to continue with them, and had sustained their faltering steps; but He could say, "Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. http://qbible.com/aramaic-new-testament/luke/17.html, Have you read Ezekiel 23? But forget not the warning. Where, on the contrary, God breaks down the believer, and sets him free in the liberty wherewith the Son makes free, the conscience is purged, and the heart turned towards Himself. And he said unto his disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days the Son of man, and you will not see it. Why not lament for themselves; for in truth there were days of sorrow coming, when they should say, "Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare; and the paps that never gave suck." It was right to deprecate it: it was like Jesus, notwithstanding, to say, "Thy will be done." This is a matter of fact description of what was really fulfilled to the letter in the capture of Jerusalem by the Romans under Titus. Accordingly, Luke puts together those two features the grace that illustrates His first coming, and the real nature of the second coming of Christ, as far as regards the appearing of God's kingdom. of prayer at all times "that men ought always to pray, and not to faint." The Christian standard takes the Rabbinic standard, doubles it and adds one; but it is not a matter of calculation. These are events that will take place after the Second Coming of Christ. God teaches us to know the worth of such mercies by the want of them. Luke 17:34 and Matthew 24:40 both describe events that will occur at the Goat and Sheep Judgment. This was given appropriately by Matthew and Mark. In Luke 17:1-37 there follow further lessons communicated still to the disciples; and first of all, a solemn warning as to stumbling-blocks. It was Simon that furnished the material. But then, further, He shows that meanwhile His servants are called to occupy themselves till he come. We have here a discourse of Christ's concerning the kingdom of God, that is, the kingdom of the Messiah, which was now shortly to be set up, and of which there was great expectation. Before that day of His appearing there might be a premature "Lo here! To serve was the Lord's place: may we prize it! I remember the time, though unable to boast of any very lengthened scene to look back on as a Christian, when at least almost all for I will not say all were more engaged in attacking ecclesiastical error, and spreading much of kindred and other truth (and, in its place and time, important truth). Note, Though the stupidity of sinners in a sinful way is as strange as it is without excuse, yet we are not to think it strange, for it is not without example. Need it be remarked here that this again falls in with our evangelist beyond all others? There she stands alone. ._1sDtEhccxFpHDn2RUhxmSq{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:18px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-flow:row nowrap;flex-flow:row nowrap}._1d4NeAxWOiy0JPz7aXRI64{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText)}.icon._3tMM22A0evCEmrIk-8z4zO{margin:-2px 8px 0 0} But they are not as the vultures who eat human flesh. Nor is this out of keeping with the tenor of Luke's Gospel, as, indeed, it is only here that we have the story at all. There is but one way that can be trusted in which we can know Jesus. This was especially of value for Gentiles, because it was one of the great problems for the heathen mind, whether the soul existed after death, not to speak of the resurrection of the body. He says, "When ye shall sec Jerusalem, not "the abomination of desolation" (not a word about it here for it belongs to the last days exclusively; but "when ye shall see Jerusalem) compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Pfft. From 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, it would appear that the saved are the ones who shall be "taken." Darth Vader famously says, Luke, I am your father, in Star Wars: Episode VThe Empire Strikes Back. That simply meant that a thing would happen when the necessary conditions were fulfilled. Here the Lord does not say, "Make disciples of all the Gentiles, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Now it came to pass, as he was on his way to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. The utmost which can or ought to be allowed is, that if the context so required, it might bear the translation (a paraphrase rather) of coming nigh; but this case demands the very reverse. "There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people." .ehsOqYO6dxn_Pf9Dzwu37{margin-top:0;overflow:visible}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu{height:24px}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu{border-radius:2px}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu:focus,._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu:hover{background-color:var(--newRedditTheme-navIconFaded10);outline:none}._38GxRFSqSC-Z2VLi5Xzkjy{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._2DO72U0b_6CUw3msKGrnnT{border-top:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);cursor:pointer;padding:8px 16px 8px 8px;text-transform:none}._2DO72U0b_6CUw3msKGrnnT:hover{background-color:#0079d3;border:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-body)} The seal of the Holy Ghost is unknown until there is the submission of faith to the death of Jesus. the ball is in your park and you've got to forgive.

So this timid Joseph waxes valiant in fight. It may even be according to men's ideas of a hero, but it is not the truth of Christ. If we approach a thing saying, "It can't be done," it will not; if we approach it saying, "It must be done," the chances are that it will. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." But here the Saviour is viewed in His absolute dependence and trust in Him, whom He had set before Him, as in life always, so with equal affiance of heart in death. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation." He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.". Oh it is a truth for us to treasure in our hearts His weeping in divine grace over guilty Jerusalem, forsaking its own mercies, rejecting its own Saviour the Lord God. 25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. They started with similar advantages. Often one will be taken and another left. The lepers stood far off. Anything short of this, anything other than this, whatever supplants it as fundamental truth, is false. Does two men in the field, one taken and one left refer to the rapture? His theme is the moral state of the disciples, the way of Christ's grace, the Christian path of faith, the place of the word of God, and the person of Christ, only known safely, according to God, in that which sets forth His death. One would have thought that this discourse of our Saviour's, which was public, and not long after published to the world, should have awakened them; but it did not, for the hearts of that people were hardened, to their destruction. So it was here: and it is of great importance that those who maintain the work for, should equally maintain the work in. But here we have another scene, His weeping over that very city that was about to cast Him out and crucify Him. ), Accordingly, the centurion is mentioned here as owning Jesus to be "a righteous man," whatever man might have judged or done. First of all, then, we have, for the disciples, God's ways in grace, in the Son of man that first suffers, and finally will appear in power and glory. "These be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled." But it was not possible; and so He adds, "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." Of all living creatures man requires longest to become able to meet the needs essential for life. First of all appears a hatred of sin in the fear of God; then the repentant heart rebukes the shameless evil of his fellow, who feels that it is, least of all, a time thus to sin boldly in the presence of death, and of God's judgment. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. The arm that had upheld them, and the shield that had been over them, are removed. How infinite the blessing! What unwearied travail of love! We have seen how this chapter settles, if I may so express it, the Christian system on its proper basis, bringing out its chief peculiarities with striking force and beauty. That's no help at all. But he does not see man merely. He was never in a pattern. This truth is not confined to the present portion of our Gospel. The rest fled. How many a man acknowledges justification by faith in a general sense, who, the moment you make it personal, would shrink from taking the place of a justified man, as if this would be too much for God to give him! Jesus said that it was impossible to construct a world with no temptations; but woe to that man who taught another to sin or who took away another's innocence. ._3-SW6hQX6gXK9G4FM74obr{display:inline-block;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:16px;height:16px;font-size:16px;line-height:16px} what a pattern! ), Then, as He entered Jericho, Zaccheus, the chief of the tax-gatherers, was mightily stirred with the desire to see this wondrous man, the Son of man. For example, it is important to notice that in Luke 17:22 we are told that Jesus referred to the days of the Son of Man, and He did it again in Luke 17:30. Matthew 24:23-28; Matthew 24:37-39), though the differences suggest separate teaching situations. "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. There was no confidence in His grace. ._3oeM4kc-2-4z-A0RTQLg0I{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between} Even more bizarrely, you can still find all kinds of pictures and plaques with a lion and a lamb laying side by side in them that also included that original quote written above or below in them that have now been changed to "the wolf" invention with nary a wolf to be seen in any of those! 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. ), And they crucified Jesus between two malefactors the one on the right hand, and the other on the left and Jesus says, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (iii) Luke 17:5-6 tell us that faith is the greatest force in the world. Matthew 24:40-41 communicates the same facts. That this distinguishing, dividing, discriminating work shall be done in all places, as far as the kingdom of God shall extend, Luke 17:37; Luke 17:37. "It came to pass, that as he came nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging." (Verses Luke 18:35-43. Such was the fruit of His blessing, and of His great grace. But this was in its principle the judgment of the Jewish system. where are the nine? For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under. The archaic King James that advised against not putting new wine into "old wineskins" but rather "new wineskins" to preserve both has now been altered to read "bottles", while the much later updated and Revised KJV that formerly read "bottles" as a more modern rendition and equivalent of that which is still in common usage today now has the more archaic "wineskins" now in that passage. "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. It was better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he was cast into the sea, than he should offend one of these little ones ( Luke 17:2 ). The Lord, therefore calls upon him to give them up, and follow Him. ", Meanwhile, He gives them also a new thing. And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come ( Luke 17:20 ). He compares it to the days of Noe (that is, to the day of God's past judgment of man and his ways); then to the days of Lot. It imagines difficulties, and nowhere so much as in the most certain truth of God. Two great truths are here present living unto God after death, and future resurrection, when Jesus comes and brings in the new age. For remember Lot's wife ( Luke 17:30-32 ). We shall find how much it was needed if we look into the Gospel of Luke. . We find them afterwards using miracles; but it was for others. And for you who are listening on tape, Romaine is not my wife. We need not dwell on the scene of the riding in on the colt; but that which is peculiar to Luke claims our attention for a moment. And there are two basic interpretations. He knew full well that His Father could have hindered every pang had He been so pleased could have turned Israel's heart could have broken the nations. Then it comes when it makes those humble, and serious, and heavenly, that were proud, and vain, and carnal,--when it weans those from the world that were wedded to the world; and therefore look for the kingdom of God in the revolutions of the heart, not of the civil government. If it be but a parabolic description, the evangelist for the Gentiles not only gives the fig tree which is in Matthew, but the Gentile trees which are heard of nowhere else. The suffering but now risen Son of man takes the universal field of the world, and sends His disciples among all the nations to make disciples, and baptize them into the name of the Trinity. Those taken will experience punishment and will die while those left will enter the kingdom since they will be believers. Thus the Holy Ghost was not given yet as an indwelling person, but rather a reiteration of the Father's promise. He thought there was no demand of goodness but what he was able to meet; but the trial was too much for him. There never was any one that had such a sense of death before as Jesus, just because He was life, the energy of which, combined with perfect; love, made the power of death to be so sensible. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." The point there is just the same immediate blessedness, and not merely when the body is raised from the dead by and by. LOL, As for grinding, same thing. The Lord's relation to the kingdom at the second advent is contrasted with the grace that flows out in the former part of the chapter. No one makes it so stupid that we can't learn, but yet, as a position of a servant I shouldn't really be looking for these little perks. It was a crucified robber! He looked upon the Lord merely as good after a human fashion. We are not quite sure what Jesus went on to say. It must be plain enough, I think, even to a superficial reader, that as Luke alone gives the account, so to Luke it is most especially adapted for the purpose that the Holy Ghost had in hand in this Gospel, and also in this particular context. Luke 17:11-19) presented in a very characteristic way, showing that faith does not necessarily wait for a change of dispensation. Only this I would add. He who humbled Himself as man in suffering is exalted as man to the glory of God on high. The mind will be clear, if the conscience and the heart be set right. Again, it is a scene peculiar to Luke, that, in the presence of the Saviour's death, Satan sifts one of the chief followers that belonged to the Saviour. "Behold the fig-tree and all the trees." However, in Matthew, Galilee is the sign for a converted Jewish remnant till He come to reign in power and glory. For, as the flashing lightning lights up the sky from one side to another, so shall be the Son of Man in his day. He told them at last what it was. In those days, it wasn't uncommon for people to share a bed, married or not, same sex or not. The Progress of Christ's Kingdom; Destruction of Jerusalem. Even so, you too, when you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, 'We are unworthy servants. He was right; and Jesus replies with ineffable grace, and according to that style so worthy of God (compare Psalms 132:1-18), which not only answers the prayer of faith, but invariably surpasses it. In Luke 20:1-47 we have the various classes of religionists and worldly men trooping one after another, hoping somehow to ensnare or accuse the Lord of glory. Depend upon it, we cannot be too stringent in maintaining, the importance both of the resurrection, and of the immediate blessedness or misery of the soul separate from the body before the resurrection. There are those who interpret this as the person who is taken is the one in, who is in trouble, because he is taken to the judgment. (VerseLuke 24:30; Luke 24:30. He would erect no barricade of miracles to shelter Himself. The other interpretation is that this actually is a reference to the rapture of the church. This is the opposite of what will happen at the Rapture (cf. They were very secure, went on in their business as unconcerned as you could imagine; they did eat, they drank, indulged themselves in their pleasures, and took no care of any thing else, but to make provision for the flesh, counted upon the perpetuity of their present flourishing state, and therefore married wives, and were given in marriage, that their families might be built up. At first, indeed, you will have wonderful success" (so they had, when thousands were added to the church in a day); "but do not think it will be always so; no, you will be persecuted and scattered, silenced and imprisoned, so that you will not have opportunities of preaching the gospel without fear, as you now have; people will grow cool to it, when they have enjoyed it awhile, so that you will not see such harvests of souls gathered in to Christ afterwards as at first, nor such multitudes flocking to him as doves to their windows." `` Oh you burned the carrots, I am your father, in Star:!
