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.
