Luke 21:11

21:11 There will be great earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven.

sn See Isa 5:13-14; 13:6-16; Hag 2:6-7; Zech 14:4.

tn This term, φόβητρον (fobhtron), occurs only here in the NT. It could refer to an object, event, or condition that causes fear, but in the context it is linked with great signs from heaven, so the translation “sights” was preferred.

sn See Jer 4:13-22; 14:12; 21:6-7.
