Revelation Part 3 Lesson 7

Luke 19:28-40 Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem Palm Sunday One week before His death Called the King who comes in the name of the Lord Dan. 9:24 – 26a fulfilled

Luke 19:41-44 Jesus wept over Jerusalem Why? He knew the judgments that were coming Israel did not recognize the time of her visitation. Visitation of what? Messiah It had been hidden from their eyes By whom? Not by God!!!! In A.D. 70 the Romans destroyed Jerusalem Not a nation again until 1948 Dan. 9:24-26a Messiah/anointed one would come

Luke 21 Vs. 1-11 Speaking to Jesus’ disciples as they admired the beauty of the Temple Told them it would be torn down This occurred in A.D. 70 Teacher….What will be the sign? When? Warning: Do not be misled Instruction: Do not go after false Christs Do not be terrified The end does not follow immediately Sounds like Matt. 24:2-7

Luke 21 Vs. 12-19 Before all these things…. Now He speaks of the persecution of His disciples Delivered to the synagogues and prisons Brought up before kings and governors Betrayed by family and friends Some will be put to death This will be an opportunity for testimony Make up your minds: don’t defend yourselves By your endurance you gain eternal life I will give you utterance and wisdom

Luke 21 Vs. 20-24 Jerusalem’s desolation: Days of vengeance A.D. 70 Jesus answers vs. 7 When? Jerusalem is surrounded by armies Those in Judea, flee, in the city…….. Why: Her desolation is near Why: She did not recognize the time of her visitation – His coming as Messiah (19:44)

Luke 21 21:23 Great distress upon the land 21:23 Wrath upon the Jews 21:24 Jews will fall by the sword 21:24 Jews led captive into all the nations This happened in A.D. 70 21:24 Jerusalem trampled under foot by the Gentiles UNTIL the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (which is still happening) It does NOT happen like this in the end times

Matthew 24 Vs. 15-16 Abomination of Desolation is their reason to flee to the mountains Vs. 21 A Great Tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Vs. 29 Immediately AFTER the Tribulation of those days, sun darkened, moon darkened…. The coming of the Son of Man ends the Tribulation

Luke 21 Time of the Gentiles lasts until the 2nd coming, or The Son of Man comes Vs. 25-28 Signs in sun, moon, stars Dismay/distress among the nations Perplexity because of sea’s roaring and waves Fear and expectation/foreboding Powers of heavens shaken Bowls of Wrath in Revelation 16 THEN the Son of Man comes

Luke 21 Vs. 28-36 “Is Near” Vs. 8 The time Vs. 20 Desolation of Jerusalem Vs. 28 Your Redemption Vs. 30 Summer Vs. 31 Kingdom of God Vs. 33 says heaven and earth WILL pass away Rev. 20:11 says earth and heaven fled from the One who sat on the throne: no place was found for them
