Lukas 21:28

21:28 But when these things ¹  begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption ²  is drawing near.”

[21:28]  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.

[21:28]  ² sn With Jesus’ return comes the manifestation of judgment and final salvation (redemption).
