The Destruction of Jerusalem: Jesus Christ Destroyed Jerusalem (Jesus Christ is Spirit)

The Destruction of Jerusalem: Jesus Christ Destroyed Jerusalem (Jesus Christ is Spirit)

St. Luke Evangelist Doctor Luke
0/5 ( ratings)
1.But here was one that was herself poor and yet gave what little she had to the treasury. It was but two mites, which make a farthing; but Our Lord Jesus Christ magnified it as a piece of charity exceeding all the rest: She has cast in more than they all. Our Lord Jesus Christ does not blame her for indiscretion, in giving what she wanted herself, nor for vanity in giving among the rich to the treasury
2."The time draws near when the kingdom shall be restored to Israel, and all who will follow me shall share in it.’’ Now as to this, he gives them a needful caution "Take heed that you be not deceived; do not imagine that I shall myself come again in external glory, to take possession of the throne of kingdoms. No, you must not expect any such thing, for my kingdom is not of this world.’’ "The time draws near when the kingdom shall be restored to Israel, and all who will follow me shall share in it.’’ Now as to this, he gives them a needful caution "Take heed that you be not deceived; do not imagine that I shall myself come again in external glory, to take possession of the throne of kingdoms. No, you must not expect any such thing, for my kingdom is not of this world.’’
3.When our Lord Jesus Christ gives to his witnesses a mouth and wisdom, they are enabled to say that both for him and themselves which all their adversaries are not able to gainsay or resist, so that they are silenced, and put to confusion.
4."Possess your souls, be your own men, keep up the authority and dominion of reason, and keep under the tumults of passion, that neither grief nor fear may tyrannize over you, nor turn you out of the possession and enjoyment of yourselves.’’
5.Thus shall the present Jewish policy, religion, laws, and government, be all entirely dissolved by a series of unparalleled calamities, attended with the utmost confusion.
6.The destruction of Jerusalem was in a particular manner an act of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s judgment, the judgment committed to the Son of man; his religion could never be thoroughly established but by the destruction of the temple, and the abolishing of the Levitical priesthood and economy, after which even the converted Jews, and many of the Gentiles too, were still hankering, till they were destroyed; so that it might justly be looked upon as a coming of the Son of man, in power and great glory, yet not visibly, but in the clouds; for in executing such judgments as these clouds and darkness are round about him.
Here, in the close of this discourse, Our Lord Jesus Christ appoints his disciples to observe the signs of the times, which they might judge by, if they had an eye to the foregoing directions, with as much certainty and assurance as they could judge of the approach of summer by the budding forth of the trees.
