What is the meaning of luke chapter 17 verse 34-35?

Answer 1

This is a different translation that I enjoy reading. It has helped me a lot with understanding scripture. i hope it is a help to you!

Jesus went down to Capernaum in Galilee. He taught them on the days of Rest. The people were surprised and were wondering about His teaching. His words had power. A man in the Jewish place of worship had a demon. He cried with a loud voice, "What do You want of us, Jesus of Nazareth? I know Who You are. You are the Holy One of God." Jesus spoke sharp words to the demon adn said, "Do not talk! Com out of him!" when the demen had thrown the man down, he came out without hurting the man. The people were all surprised. They asked each other, "What kind of word is this: He speaks to the demons with pewer and they come out!" The news about Jesus went through all the country. -Luke 4:31-37-

Answer 2

Many people think this scripture and the one on Matthew 24:40 is a reference to the "rapture" of the church. But if you will look at the context, Jesus is teaching on His Second Coming to earth to judge. The ones to be taken are removed from the earth to the place of judgment. When Jesus Christ returns at the Second Coming and has "taken care of business" the earth will be home for the Israelites that are still alive and home for the "sheep" nations. Jesus Christ will reign and rule from Jerusalem on David's throne for 1000 years. This is called the Millennium, or the Millennial Kingdom.

The last part of verse 37 is the eagle-carcass imagery and speaks of the judgment that will accompany Christ's return.

Answer 3

In these verses, Jesus is describing the sudden and unexpected nature of his return. He uses the imagery of two men in a field and two women grinding at a mill, emphasizing that when he returns, it will happen swiftly and without warning. This serves as a reminder for believers to be prepared and vigilant for his coming.
