Luke 21:28

But when these things ¹  begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption ²  is drawing near.”

Ps 98:5-9; Isa 12:1-3; Isa 25:8,9; Isa 60:1,2; Ro 8:19,23; Eph 1:14; Eph 4:30

¹ 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.

² sn With Jesus’ return comes the manifestation of judgment and final salvation (redemption).
