Luke 17:22-24One of the days of the Son of ManMistaken desires for JesusI.JESUS FORESHADOWS A CHANGE OF FEELING ON THE PART OF HIS DISCIPLES IN REFERENCE TO HIS APPEARING. They will desire to see one day a visible appearance of the Son of Man. If you have the spirit of Jesus, if He has come to you so that you know Him to be your Saviour and Friend, you cannot be free from such changes of feeling in reference to Him. No. There come to you times in which you think, “Surely my life in Christ is... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 17:24

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. Ver. 24. For as the lightning ] q.d. From mine ascension, and so forwards, you are not to look for me again till I come to judgment; and then I come on a sudden. Many devices there are in the minds of some, to think that Jesus Christ shall come from heaven again, and reign here upon earth a thousand years. But they are, saith a... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:20-27

§ 97. WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD? JESUS ANSWERS TO BOTH PHARISEES AND APOSTLES, Luke 17:20-27 . We have here to the end of this chapter a remarkable series of passages, bearing a somewhat mysterious relation to the great Second Advent discourse delivered on Mount Olivet. Matthew 25:26. We may divide it into two sections, delivered obviously at different times and to different parties. The section 20, 21, is expressly said to be delivered to the Pharisees. The section 22-37 is also said to be... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:22-30

The external kingdom ( at the advent) explained to the disciples, Luke 17:22-30. As Jesus had to the Pharisees checked all their Lo, heres and Lo, theres by referring the kingdom to the inner man, the disciples seem on a late occasion to have questioned him whether there was no external kingdom and coming. Jesus replies, (Luke 17:22-25,) that after his departure their intense desire for his presence may dispose them to believe in a Jesus disclosing himself on earth; but his final... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 17:22-37

22-37. The discourse to his disciples, which follows, is evidently added by Luke rather from analogy in the subject than from sameness of time. As Jesus had described to the Pharisees his present and internal kingdom, so now he describes to his disciples his coming and eternal kingdom. It is difficult to say whether or not this entire passage unto his disciples is a fragmentary sketch by a fourth hand in distinction to the three given in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, of the discourse... read more
