Lucas 21:34-36

6. The concluding exhortation to watchfulness 21:34-36 (cf. Matthew 24:42; Mark 13:33-37)

Luke concluded his account of the Olivet Discourse with Jesus’ exhortation to remain ready for what He had predicted. Jesus’ words presupposed an interval before His coming, but He allowed that His coming might occur in the lifetime of His hearers. Nothing that He said precluded the passing of millennia before His coming.
