Luke 21:28

21:28 But when these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”


sn These things are all the events of vv. 8-27. Disciples represent the righteous here. The events surrounding the fall of the nation are a down payment on a fuller judgment to come on all humanity. The presence of one guarantees the other.

sn With Jesus’ return comes the manifestation of judgment and final salvation (redemption).
