1. Revelation Part 3
Lesson 7

2. 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

3. 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

4. Luke 21
Vs 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

5. 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

6. Luke 21 Vs. 20-24 Jerusalem’s desolation: Days of vengeance A.D. 70
Jesus answers vs 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)

7. 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

8. Matthew 24
Vs 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

9. Luke 21
Time of the Gentiles lasts until the 2nd coming, or The Son of Man comes Vs
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

10. 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

11. Instructions in Luke 21 Don’t be misled (8)

Don’t be terrified (9)
Make up your mind NOT to prepare before hand to defend yourselves (14)
By your endurance you gain your lives (19)

12. Instructions in Luke 21 Recognize that the kingdom of God is near (31)

Keep on the alert at ALL times (36)
