There is no worse invention against the truth, unless it be the lie which denies Him to be God the Son. ", Apparently this was disobedience; and the others could well reproach their Samaritan fellow that he was unfaithful to Jesus. When He gets to Jerusalem? For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part of the heaven, shines to another part under the heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day ( Luke 17:22-24 ). 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. For this list, we'll be taking a deep dive into the strangest instances of collective false memories, otherwise known as the Mandela effect.. (Verses Luke 20:27-38.) ), Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. If he finds no new skin blotches and so forth, he puts him in the house and he sits there for seven days. And so the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed ( Luke 17:6 ). So here Jesus says to the converted robber, "This day shalt thou be with me in paradise" at once, by virtue of His blood, the companion of Christ in the garden of divine joy and delight. Another cup was before Him. He is alone. "The gospel that is to set up Christ's kingdom in the world shall fly like lightning through the nations. 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. Like the martyred saints he will cry out, "How long?" (Verses Luke 24:13-29. Both, of course, were perfectly true. Jesus was the green tree; and if Jesus was so treated, what should be their fate, as set forth fully by that dry tree, which was Israel? It is evidently, therefore, a picture of the Lord's return at the second advent, after having received a kingdom. There was no confidence in His grace. 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. There shall be two women grinding together; Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 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. It is the more striking, because the circumstances are evidently limited; while that which He draws from them is universal. ._2a172ppKObqWfRHr8eWBKV{-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;margin-right:8px}._39-woRduNuowN7G4JTW4I8{margin-top:12px}._136QdRzXkGKNtSQ-h1fUru{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin:8px 0;width:100%}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_,._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{margin-left:auto}._1-25VxiIsZFVU88qFh-T8p{padding:0}._2nxyf8XcTi2UZsUInEAcPs._2nxyf8XcTi2UZsUInEAcPs{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColor)} And they will say to you, 'Look there! (Verse Luke 23:53.). For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors [or], [rather, lawlessness ]: for the things concerning me have an end. Such was his habit. God gave us his only Son and often we never give to him even a word of thanks. I'm so good." How great is the simplicity and assurance of faith! That's no help at all. The time may come when we may in vain wish for such days. not only its reckoning, but its experiences and its end! The reason seems to me manifest. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." You seasoned that roast just perfectly, oh that was good." (2.) "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." He took bread with thanksgiving, brake it, and gave to them, saving, "This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. (b) It may mean, the kingdom of God is among you. What does the verse mean? We shall find how much it was needed if we look into the Gospel of Luke. The other interpretation is that this actually is a reference to the rapture of the church. The word he used is the word used for a doctor watching a patient for symptoms of some disease which he suspects. "And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen: saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."(Ver. Matthew 24:40-41 communicates the same facts. is not he that sitteth at meat? The kingdom of God was not designed to be the glory of one people only, but to give light to the Gentiles; for as the lightning that lightens out of one part under heaven, and shines all on a sudden irresistibly to the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of man be in his day." On the other hand, in the midst of any answers that God may vouchsafe, and of all service rendered to Him, the admonitory word is added that when we have done all things not when we have failed we are unprofitable servants. He said that it would not come with signs that watch for. There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.". We have after this the hearts of the disciples proved to be still earthly and Jewish; but the Lord brings before them not the glory and beauty yet in store for Jerusalem but it is judgment specially on the temple. There is another word for the vultures that feed upon the flesh of men at the great battle of Armageddon. For it has not an external show, as other kingdoms have, the advancements and revolutions of which are taken notice of by the nations of the earth, and fill the newspapers; so they expected this kingdom of God would do. But will you not rather say unto him, Prepare my supper, gird yourself, and serve me, until I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you can eat and drink? If you were a leper you had to cry, "Unclean," and could not allow anyone to approach you. Now a lot of times we are made to feel very guilty"Well, brother, if you just had enough faith. He's heading now towards Jerusalem. It is the act and language of Him whose confidence was unlimited in the One He was going to. They were to be preached to all the nations, beginning with Jerusalem. Put your nose to the grindstone." But I believe that Lot is a classic sign of God's ability to deliver the righteous while reserving the ungodly for the day of judgment as Peter tells us in his second epistle. It will be their concern to do as Lot and his family were charged to do: Escape for thy life. Such was ever His way. The Mandela Effect is a term coined by Fiona Broome in 2009.

Jesus is led away to the cross, and Simon is compelled to bear it after Jesus; for now man shows his needless cruelty in every form, The women that were there lament with the crowd after Jesus: there was much of human feeling in this, though not faith or real love. He owns to the truth; and they need no more to condemn Him. 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. Get out of there, escape. Where shall those be safe that are taken? Two great truths are here present living unto God after death, and future resurrection, when Jesus comes and brings in the new age. So unless this changed in the 1980's, it's been the same-- for me anyway. May the Lord be pleased to bless His own word, and to grant that those who love Him and it may approach the scripture with still more confidence! Your faith has made you well.". But the Lord turns the sifting, and even the downfall of the saint to ultimate and great blessing not for that soul only but for others. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood a far off ( Luke 17:11-12 ): Which, of course, was the law of the land. They are diametrically opposed. No, it's gonna be like lightening, everybody is gonna see it when it happens.But before He comes in this glory. What would Christ's kingdom be to him, if his sins were not blotted out? Need it be remarked here that this again falls in with our evangelist beyond all others? He had come to do His will, and had done it in the face of growing scorn and rejection; and God had not guarded Him from the murderous hate of man, but contrariwise, delivered Him into their hands, greater things being in counsel and accomplishment than if He had been received. ), There is a third supplemental point, which I only touch on His instant disappearance after He was made known to them in the sign of His death. Only there is a difficulty here to some that Luke appears to contradict what we have in the other accounts of this part of Christ's progress. It was part of the very perfection of Jesus that he felt and deprecated the awful cup. This is Those who have left the Sodom of a natural state, let them go forward, and not so much as look a kind look towards it again. Taken up to escape the Great Tribulation period. Luke 24:5-8; Luke 24:5-8.) "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations." Note, Though the stupidity of sinners in a sinful way is as strange as it is without excuse, yet we are not to think it strange, for it is not without example. I've read the bible all the way through a few times, there's some strange stuff in there, lol. She only said, Fly, fly, fly!. He says, "When ye shall sec Jerusalem, not "the abomination of desolation" (not a word about it here for it belongs to the last days exclusively; but "when ye shall see Jerusalem) compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. He is to go to the priest and he's to show himself to the priest to examine him. Indeed, what else can incredulity ever pretend to? Come quickly, Lord Jesus! (Verses Luke 21:5-36.) WebLuke 17:34. this is said agreeably to the time, the night before mentioned, that being the time to be in bed, at rest and asleep; for they that sleep, sleep in the night; and still suggests Observe, that he who exemplifies this action of divine grace was one that knew not traditional religion as the others did, that had no great privileges to boast of in comparison with the rest. The priest kills the dove, pours the blood in water basin, he takes the other dove and dips it in this bloody water and turns it free. Which of these refers to the saved, which to the unsaved? It was the province of John to show Him even then above all circumstances in personal glory. Besides, there is the final publicly adjudicated portion of misery for body and soul before the great white throne. So too the brief picture of His daily occupation in the temple and of His nights apart at Olivet which in no way precluded the people from coming to hear early in the morning. (3.) "Yes, I forgive you." All Rights Reserved. We have, further, the moral condition of man illustrated in two ways a broken spirit with little light but a real sense of sin, and another soul satisfied with itself in the presence of God. Here we have a signal change or converse. 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. In fact, Jesus said unless you repent you're gonna perish. And so they say they are taken to be put into the great battle of Armageddon where the birds are going to come and feast upon the body of the people. It was the power of faith leaving Judaism to itself, mounting in Jesus to the source of both law and grace, but not putting the legal system down. the converse proves true. "You know not what you ask," saith Christ; "it may come, and you not be aware of it." But I go to the hospital, I make the call, I pray for them and encourage them. Another place the disciples said, "Lord, increase our faith," and perhaps He's just showing them how little they really do have, and if this be a standard then I must take my place with them. There were years when we were dependent on our parents for literally everything. The wrath of God. There is no greater mistake than to suppose, that an object of affection to Him before He died ceases to be such to Him when risen. The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon in which a large group of people shares a false memory. We need not dwell on the scene of the riding in on the colt; but that which is peculiar to Luke claims our attention for a moment. God will then judge the quick; and so, no matter what the association, the employment, or the sex, whether within doors or without, there can be no shelter or exemption. for if he had, he would, of course, have put it forward. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we haven't done any more than what was our duty to do ( Luke 17:9-10 ). He was God, and proved it not least in a self-abnegation truly divine. (Verses Luke 19:41-44.) When he saw them, he said, "Go, and show yourselves to the priests." God has shown that His name is, as ever, a stumbling-stone for unbelief; but for the simple and spiritual a sure foundation, and most precious. What is Jesus saying? So there was. They just cried out and Jesus called back and said, "Go show yourself to the priest." You know, the Bible starts out with 2 naked people Nasb says there will be two in a bed, doesn't specify sex. And he goes out and gets a couple of doves and he brings one in. It was indeed concurrent with a change of vast import for Himself not awaiting His death, but in many respects beginning before it. 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. Pain, and shame, and death, are those many things. Comes back again before the priest, and he looks over him again, and there's no new eruptions or blotches then the man is proclaimed cleaned by the priest. Luke gives us this last also closes, at any rate, with the future crisis; but the main point is the central portion of Luke is to point out the destruction then actually at hand as a distinct state of things and time from the circumstances of the Son of man's day. [4.] Take heed to yourself if your brother trespass against thee. They were not alone; angels appeared. He cannot give us the understanding of a state which we have never experienced, unless it be by figures taken from the present state. Would He, would God, not make them good? There is a place for rebuke. And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together ( Luke 17:33-37 ). He looked upon the Lord merely as good after a human fashion. And the other verse refers to a slang word! It didn't mean the same thing 150 years ago. Alstorph. But here we may pause for a moment; for there are special and profoundly instructive touches peculiar to Luke. Okay, so this one is weird for me, because I don't remember this being worded this way and it seems like an intentional change to fit with these odd changes in the world. Boneheaded meant that a person's thick skull had no brains, or so their actions would suggest. In Luke the same thing, occurs here, as we said applied to His account of the sermon on the mount. Is Matthew 24:30-31 about the rapture or second coming. He never cast out either a soul that came to Him, or a prayer that was founded on His glory, and desired association with Him. I trow not. The kingdom of God will not change men's outward condition, but their hearts and lives. Why seek ye the living (One) among the dead? Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. Instead of bringing Gentiles to see the glory of Jehovah shining on Zion, they are to be baptized into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, as now revealed fully; and (instead of what Moses commanded) "teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.". It was the Samaritan in whom the Lord illustrated the power of faith. Even in this case, where the effect was produced rapidly, the Spirit of God has given us the great moral traits of it. The Greek word duo simply means two two of anything. But faith is always right, whatever appearances may say: I speak not now of a fancy, of course, not of any eccentric humour or delusion too often covered over with the name of faith. Simon, sadly ignorant of himself, is full of bold promises to go to prison or to death; but, says the Lord, "Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me." Luke, I Am Your Father. They were blind. As King Lear said in the day of his own tragedy. Surely also we ought to feel it, instead of merely treating it as a thing, that must be, and which Scripture prepares us for, or which God's goodness turns to gracious ends. Not to be looking for glory, not to be looking for thanks, not to be looking for pats on the back.They tell me that I'm a difficult one to work for. Why not lament for themselves; for in truth there were days of sorrow coming, when they should say, "Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare; and the paps that never gave suck." Two shall be in the field; one shall be taken, the other left. There are all kinds of passages that have been dramatically changed and dare I say it quite "wickedly" and even "perversely" corrupted in terms of their purpose, sense, and meaning, with still more being discovered each and every day. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.". [2.] Further, we know that just as Matthew, for his design, so he displaces facts historically for the purpose of giving a more forcible moral picture of the truth in hand. There are those who interpret this as the person who is taken is the one in, who is in trouble, because he is taken to the judgment. When God's judgments are laying all waste, he will take an effectual course to preserve those that are his, by remarkable providences distinguishing between them and others that were nearest to them: two in a bed, one taken and the other left; one snatched out of the burning and taken into a place of safety, while the other is left to perish in the common ruin. 5. It is to man according to his unbelief. Few of us have not at some time owed a great deal to some fellow-man. More remains of similar character, especially the very distinct privileges of the understanding opened to understand, and the power of the Holy Ghost; the one given then, the other not till Pentecost. donate paypal: Vlasin792@gmail.com subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClOwk30G5-MUcDm7-QY53mA He's looking for that response, and He misses it when He is .
