To read the texts click on the texts: Dan 6:12-18; 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.
