In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. (Wasn't it two people or a couple implying a man and a woman sleeping? http://qbible.com/aramaic-new-testament/luke/17.html, Have you read Ezekiel 23? And let your light so shine before men, that when they see your good works they'll glorify your Father which is in heaven. There He simply said day that the Son of Man. The term Son of Man is a reference to Himself. Here we have nothing about Galilee. It is not that God did not accompany His message with signs. This is also characteristic of Christians. for if he had, he would, of course, have put it forward. Would they get left out? It is the word of God again brought out; not merely to two of them, but its unspeakable value for them all. "Within you" is a poor translation here. The answer begins by understanding that duosimply means two. The word can refer to two men, two women, two children, a mother and a child, or two of anything. (Verses Luke 18:18-25.). As being the kingdom of God, it is impossible that His kingdom should come, without adequate testimony in love to man, who is sought for it. Here is Matthew 24:37-39. Indeed, what else can incredulity ever pretend to? (Luke 19:1-10.). How could He wish for the wrath of God? Even so, you too, when you have done everything you were ordered to do, say, 'We are unworthy servants. After the Gentile domination is over (which clearly it is not yet), there shall be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and distress of nations; men's hearts failing them forfear; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see not when the Romans of old took the city but, in the future crisis, when these astonishing tokens, heavenly and earthly, are given by God then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. The consistency of this with all we have seen in Luke, from first to last, is unquestionable: Son of God of the Highest, as of David also; but He is emphatically, and in every detail, the Son of man. (b) It then came to mean any stumbling-block placed in a man's way to trip him up. Besides, there is the final publicly adjudicated portion of misery for body and soul before the great white throne. Everything was in that order. Were none found to turn back and give glory to God except this foreigner?" That they had fair warning given them of the ruin that was coming upon them for their sins. But then, further, He shows that meanwhile His servants are called to occupy themselves till he come. "Shall we pray. Does not the account of the rich man and Lazarus intimate the same thing? http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/7901.html, Just so you know You're inspiring me to go check. In Luke 17:34 Jesus says, I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. The Mandela Effect is defined as a commonly held false memory. The term was originated in 2009 by Fiona If you were a leper you had to cry, "Unclean," and could not allow anyone to approach you. if he repents, forgive him ( Luke 17:3 ). (iii) Luke 17:5-6 tell us that faith is the greatest force in the world. This is a matter of fact description of what was really fulfilled to the letter in the capture of Jerusalem by the Romans under Titus. Luke 18:15-17). This may be the way of men, to avoid what they can, and think as little as possible of what is painful and disagreeable. For me, I have never known them to be different and I do remember these verses because I too noticed that in modern term people would interpret them differently. No story in all the gospels so poignantly shows man's ingratitude. Webluke 17:34 mandela effect. He was right; and Jesus replies with ineffable grace, and according to that style so worthy of God (compare Psalms 132:1-18), which not only answers the prayer of faith, but invariably surpasses it. Here it is prayer out of the midst of circumstances of desolation and deep trial prayer with evil near at hand, as well as divine judgment. is, thither will the eagles be gathered together." In fact, Jesus said unless you repent you're gonna perish. It was a term for grinding corn or some other grain. It refers to a situation in which a large group of people believe that an even occurred when it actually Then we have the hearers and disciples disclosing their thoughts. Your faith has made you well.". If poor dying man felt it somewhat, the Lord made flesh, the God-man, entered into it in spirit the more because He was God, though man. Absolute grace begins, therefore, with the spot which needed it most, and Jerusalem is expressly named. But faith finds its own deliverance now, leaving those who are under the law and love not grace, to the law which condemns. It was not a question of man's walking righteously, or of talking about it. In verse 35 we enter on the closing section of all the historical Gospels, as is well known, that is to say, the entrance into Jerusalem from Jericho. Before that day of His appearing there might be a premature "Lo here! We must always remember that we approach no task alone, but that with us there is God and all his power. Jesus said that it was impossible to construct a world with no temptations; but woe to that man who taught another to sin or who took away another's innocence. Go show yourself to the priest." Two great truths are here present living unto God after death, and future resurrection, when Jesus comes and brings in the new age. In Luke 23:1-56 Jesus is found not before Pilate only, but Herod; and the two men who heretofore hated each other are here reconciled, now that it is a question of rejecting Jesus. His rejection was complete; and Old Testament Scripture was amply fulfilled. Web( Luke 17:1 ) You can't live your life unscathed. 5. The state of the heart, as ever, was in question; the will was at fault, even though they were regenerate. After this our Lord speaks once more of what was written in Moses and prophets and psalms concerning Him. The Lord said, "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. This is the opposite of what will happen at the Rapture (cf. .ehsOqYO6dxn_Pf9Dzwu37{margin-top:0;overflow:visible}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu{height:24px}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu{border-radius:2px}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu:focus,._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu:hover{background-color:var(--newRedditTheme-navIconFaded10);outline:none}._38GxRFSqSC-Z2VLi5Xzkjy{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._2DO72U0b_6CUw3msKGrnnT{border-top:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);cursor:pointer;padding:8px 16px 8px 8px;text-transform:none}._2DO72U0b_6CUw3msKGrnnT:hover{background-color:#0079d3;border:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-body)} Gods great intervention in human affairs will affect people worldwide. He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.". He compares it to the days of Noe (that is, to the day of God's past judgment of man and his ways); then to the days of Lot. The New International Version (NIV) has avoided the word men and so translates the passage with people. Here is the verse, I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. And so, that same hour, we see the disciples returning to Jerusalem, and finding the eleven there, who say, "The Lord hath risen, and appeared unto Simon." It may be possible to satisfy the claims of law; but every lover knows that nothing can ever satisfy the claims of love. "Now the Lord is talking to them about what it is to be a servant. But it is much to believe it to be what it really is, not (as unbelief thinks) a field of darkness and uncertainty, requiring light upon it, but a light itself, which communicates light to the dark, through the power of the Holy Ghost revealing Christ. On the subject of these verses see Matthew 24:40-41. And he goes out and gets a couple of doves and he brings one in. And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together ( Luke 17:33-37 ). The Greek may mean two things. The time may come when we may in vain wish for such days. Towards the end of the chapter (ver. The Lord admits that there is no abandonment of faith but what will meet with a most adequate remembrance from the Lord another day. Thus there is no exaggerated description. Further, we have a remarkable difference in the rewards here. From 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, it would appear that the saved are the ones who shall be "taken." . All then becomes right: he is brought into the light of God; he sees light in God's light. In my mind you are making this one up. And so our Lord Jesus vindicates him. And He's talking to them a little about what a servant . Matthew 24:40-41 (NASB). He knew full well that His Father could have hindered every pang had He been so pleased could have turned Israel's heart could have broken the nations. The fact is notorious, that Jerusalem has been in the hands of many masters who have dealt hardly with the Jews. This is the necessary moral order of God. While there are certainly true believers in the phenomenon, uses of the Mandela Effect are There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. So difficult is the path of faith for men in one direction or another, that (in earlier days when, in the midst of adversaries and full of superstition, men yet clung to the stainless honour of the Son of God)the timid orthodox ventured on the bold step of expunging verses Luke 22:44-45; for what, after all, is so adventurous as this Uzzah-like anxiety for the ark of God? He looked upon the Lord merely as good after a human fashion. How is He to be known? He would erect no barricade of miracles to shelter Himself. The kingdoms of the earth shall be leavened by the gospel ere they are aware of it." Therefore the evangelist of the ministry of Jesus draws attention to the place in which He had ministered most Galilee; but even he does not speak of it exclusively. Joseph of Arimathea was a man that had waited for the kingdom of God for some time, a good man and just, and a real believer, though he had shrunk from open confession of the Lord Jesus; but now, when fear might naturally have more than ever operated to keep him back, grace made him bold. (1.) Hence was it of all importance that we should learn wherein He is to be known. And Jesus touched him and said, "I will. Ministers and churches will sometimes be under outward restraints. It was not the Lord's Supper; but Jesus made use of that act of breaking the bread significantly, which the Lord's Supper brings before us continually. Man has it apparently all his own way, in mockery, blows, and blasphemy; but yet he is only accomplishing the will, the purpose, and the grace of God. Nothing of the sort was uttered, but "Lord, remember me." The Son of man must suffer many things. Luke 17:30-33(NASB). If the original had said "bottles" who in their right mind would deliberately pull "wineskins" out of their hat to ostensibly update and make that more intelligible in an era when bottles had long since replaced all of the old fashioned wineskins? But, at the same time (verses Luke 18:31-34), He takes unto Him the twelve and says, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished." The other Gospels positively tell us it was as He went out. Had they not heard His words? Remember Lots wife. For us it is the question of what God tells us in His word of the sufferings of Christ not whether we understand all He says about them. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." "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." My attitude after I come in from serving the Lord, and the Lord gives me another task to do, and I'm so tired I feel oh I can't move. Its common for people to remember situations differently. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. He must be rejected by this generation of unbelieving Jews, before he be embraced by another generation of believing Gentiles, that his gospel may have the honour of triumphing over the greatest opposition from those who ought to have given it the greatest assistance; and thus the excellency of the power will appear to be of God, and not of man; for, though Israel be not gathered, yet he will be glorious to the ends of the earth.". And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." You would have healed Jerusalem, as of old Babylon, but she is not healed, and therefore forsake her, flee out of the midst of her, and deliver every man his soul,Jeremiah 51:6; Jeremiah 51:9. Memories are complex and influenced by various factors. We walk by faith, not by sight. He is to go to the priest and he's to show himself to the priest to examine him. He who on the cross tasted, for expiation, the unutterable woe of which Matthew and Mark speak, is the same Jesus who, Luke tells us, never wavered for a moment, not merely in His obedience, but in unreserved confidence in God; and the expression of this, not of atonement, I read in the precious words, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." (Verses Luke 20:9-19.) The sense of His rejection and His approaching death not only pressed on the Saviour's spirit, but more or less also affects the disciples, who were under the pressure especially of what was done by men. It is evidently, therefore, a picture of the Lord's return at the second advent, after having received a kingdom. ), Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Speculation is vain. Luke, I Am Your Father. Immediately after (and, if I mistake not, expressly put in close conjunction with this) is the parable of the nobleman who goes into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. In remorse and despair, casting the price of innocent blood into the very sanctuary, and going away to hang himself; here no imprecation of His blood on them and on their children; here no detail of the guilty people's unconscious accomplishment of the living oracles of God in the Psalms and Prophets; nor here any allusion to the earthquake, and the rent rocks, and opened graves, or the subsequent appearing of risen saints to many in the holy city. To make those matters worse, this was all foretold in the Bible itself that a time would come when a great "famine" would descend upon all of mankind and that people would search far and wide for the word of God and not be able to find it. He who humbled Himself as man in suffering is exalted as man to the glory of God on high. Therefore, just as we have seen the resurrection of our Lord in connection with Jerusalem, where He had been crucified, so He would have the preaching begun there, not going away, as it were, from the guilty city alas! In the ten lepers this blessed principle is brought out clearly. Though all the rest of His teaching might have taught them better, they took His words in a material sense, and conceived that He urged them to take a literal sword. I love the spunk that Jesus has. You say, "Oop, oh wait a minute." (Verses Luke 24:13-29. The suffering but now risen Son of man takes the universal field of the world, and sends His disciples among all the nations to make disciples, and baptize them into the name of the Trinity. They lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have pity upon us." There was no confidence in His grace. 34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Here the Lord does not say, "Make disciples of all the Gentiles, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." It was not called this in the 1970s, but the songwriter was hiding it by using the really old slang. In Luke 17:1-37 there follow further lessons communicated still to the disciples; and first of all, a solemn warning as to stumbling-blocks. What a league of peace over the rejection of the Saviour! Neither shall they say, Lo here! Oh it is a truth for us to treasure in our hearts His weeping in divine grace over guilty Jerusalem, forsaking its own mercies, rejecting its own Saviour the Lord God. Oh, let me ask you a question. The hardness of His saying lay not in any lack of perspicuity. In the same way, so it was in the days of Lot. Now it doesn't say anything if he doesn't repent, does it? The Greek masculine gender could describe a man and his wife, however. That God took care for the preservation of those that were his, who believed and feared, and took the warning themselves which they gave to others. There are going to be people who will seek to put stumbling stones in your path. donate paypal: Vlasin792@gmail.com subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClOwk30G5-MUcDm7-QY53mA Out of this difficult passage we can pick only the things which are certain--and in truth they are enough. There was no sexual intent at all in this verse. In the case of Luke 17:34-35, the Mandela effect is not whats happening at all. Was not He Himself, David's Son owned as his Lord by David? We shall find how much it was needed if we look into the Gospel of Luke. Therefore the apostles, feeling the great difficulty, as indeed it is impossible to nature so to walk, ask of the Lord to increase their faith. On the person and position of Christ depends the whole of Christianity. inTruthbyGrace Then we find another picture His citizens hating Him; for nothing can be more elaborate than this parable. It is to man according to his unbelief. Hence, it is said, "He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray." For, as the flashing lightning lights up the sky from one side to another, so shall be the Son of Man in his day. Be careful that you don't stumble your brother. (Wasn't it two people or a couple implying a man and a woman "And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous) and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican." "And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God." "He fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. But along with this we have also prayer (Luke 18:1-43), not merely as suitable to a soul's need, and in connection with the word of God received from Jesus, which we have seen in Luke 11:1-54. Where, on the contrary, God breaks down the believer, and sets him free in the liberty wherewith the Son makes free, the conscience is purged, and the heart turned towards Himself. In the gospel of Matthew, we find that Jesus was also discussing His second coming just before Matthew 24:40. Who, of course, in turning back turned to a pillar of salt. The verse in the New American Standard Bible (NASB) and the New King James Version Bible (NKJV) reads as follows, I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. To weigh before God such circumstances as then surrounded Jesus, to anticipate in His presence what was coming, did not lessen, but rather increased the depth of all; and so we find Him praying earnestly to His Father that, if it were possible, the cup should pass away from Him. All was in its season. If He was but a man there was no goodness in Him; it is only in God: God alone is good. Then, after settling this moral truth which was fundamental for the soul, He turns to His disciples, and tells them that the days would come when they should desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and should not see it; for the kingdom will be displayed by and by. If flood surges over a piece of country and the wild animals congregate for safety on some little bit of higher ground, you will find standing peacefully together animals who are natural enemies and who at any other time would do their best to kill each other. So the Lord here settles it for them personally. The remnant of the last days will know what it is to be cast outside Jerusalem also, and it is as outcasts that they will find real deepening of faith and due preparation of heart for receiving the Lord when he appears in the clouds of heaven. That now reads "and the wolf shall dwell with the lamb". II. According to the Lord's word, the place was given. And so with this soul whom grace had now touched. It is not a question of signs, wonders, or outward show. And if he repents forgive him. WebLuke 17:34 | New Living Translation (NLT) [ 34 ] That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. 176-91, for a discussion of the differences in the biblical descriptions of the Rapture and the Second Coming, which argue for a pretribulation Rapture.]. `` the fear of the earth shall be leavened by the gospel of Luke 17:34-35, Mandela.
