If you wish to read the texts click on the texts: Rev 18:1-2.21-23; 19:1-3.9; Lk 21: 20-28
The text of today, continues
the Eschatological Discourse, but speaks now of the destruction of Jerusalem
and other cosmological signs which announce the coming of the Son of Man.
Josephus the Jewish historian recorded the horrors of the Jewish war, which
lasted from April until August of the year 70 C.E. It was a terrible for all
the inhabitants and many were killed during it. The Romans razed the whole city
to the ground. Once this happens and the other signs have come to pass
signalling the end that is at hand, the Son of Man will appear in a cloud, with
great power and glory. When this happens others might faint from fear, but the
disciples are asked to hold their heads up high, because their salvation has
indeed come.
