Where shall those perish that are left?" Therefore, the convicted publican is found outside, beating his breast, and standing at a distance, not so much as looking up. We must again remember that it was the eastern custom to use language in the most vivid possible way. (Verses Luke 19:11-27.). Therefore He that was (and not merely had) life, as no one else, weeps in the presence of death, groaning, in spirit at the grave.

It was not a question of man's walking righteously, or of talking about it. It was so during His life and public ministry (and hence it figures in Mark so prominently). What had He not given up, and for whom? Had they not heard His words? Certainly God will not be heedless to the continual cry of His own seemingly desolate elect in their fiery trial, where all the might of man is against them; but still the duty always remains true. There are those who see that as the body of Jesus Christ, wherever the body of Christ is there will the eagles, His victorious saints, be gathered together. "The judgments that are to destroy the Jewish nation, to lay them waste, and to deliver the Christians from them, shall fly like lightning through the land, shall lay all waste from one end of it to another; and those that are marked for this destruction can no more avoid it, nor oppose it, than they can a flash of lightning." That judgment is the Goat and Sheep Judgment. Do you have to forgive him if he doesn't repent? and Jesus will remember could not put Him aside. Observe more especially this, that here the Lord Jesus brings before us a very direct and immediate picture of the destruction of Jerusalem that was then imminent. Does he thank a servant because he has done what he was ordered to do? Everyone has gotten so paranoid, readily inclining to misguided, alarmist, attention 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. Luke 17:34 (NASB), I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. It is beyond all controversy, that here the human side of Christ's death is more vividly portrayed than in any of the Gospels perfect, but human; just as in John it is the divine side, though care is taken to prove particularly there its reality, as well as the witness of its efficacy for sinful man. Jesus hears this tale of sorrow from their lips, brings out the state of their hearts, and then opens the Scriptures, instead of merely appealing to the facts in the way of evidence. So take heed to yourselves ( Luke 17:3 ): Be careful that you're not a stumbling stone. Finding an original Luke might be easier said than done, but how about do a search on Aramaic primacy and then check here? (Verses Luke 20:9-19.) over the scene of His death and burial, without for the present in the least realizing, that life which was to be put forth soon so gloriously. Luke 22:39-46; Luke 22:39-46) shows how true what I have just asserted is; for there it is that He is found first of all telling them to pray, lest they should enter into temptation. For it has not an external show, as other kingdoms have, the advancements and revolutions of which are taken notice of by the nations of the earth, and fill the newspapers; so they expected this kingdom of God would do.

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part of the heaven, shines to another part under the heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day ( Luke 17:22-24 ). Webluke 17:34 mandela effect. ), Yet was this the moment when, spite of a traitorous disciple, spite of another too confident that denied Him with oaths, spite of all who ought to have been faithful forsaking and fleeing, spite of the distant and saddened lookers on who had once followed Him devotedly, God emboldens a man of high station, who might have been then the least expected by us (and, as we are told elsewhere, Nicodemus).
