20 法利賽人問、 神的國幾時來到．耶穌回答說、 神的國來到、不是眼所能見的． Luke 17: 20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21 nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst (entos).“ 20 法利賽人問、　神的國幾時來到．耶穌回答說、　神的國來到、不是眼所能見的． 21 人也不得說、看哪、在這裡．看哪、在那裡．因為　神的國就在你們中間。

22 他又對門徒說、日子將到、你們巴不得看見人子的一個日子、卻不得看見。 Luke 17: 22 And He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days (plural) of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 "They will say to you, 'Look there! Look here!' Do not go away, and do not run after them. 24 "For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day (singular). 25 "But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 22 他又對門徒說、日子將到、你們巴不得看見人子的一個日子、卻不得看見。 23 人將要對你們說、看哪、在那裡．看哪、在這裡．你們不要出去、也不要跟隨他們． 24 因為人子在他降臨的日子、好像閃電、從天這邊一閃、直照到天那邊。 25 只是他必須先受許多苦、又被這世代棄絕。 2nd coming clearly seen

Day of Christ return is always in the singular Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 但那日子、那時辰、沒有人知道、連天上的使者也不知道、子也不知道、惟獨父知道。 Mark 13:32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 但那日子、那時辰、沒有人知道、連天上的使者也不知道、子也不知道、惟有父知道。 Luke 21:34 "Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; 你們要謹慎、恐怕因貪食醉酒並今生的思慮、累住你們的心、那日子就如同網羅忽然臨到你們

因為人子在他降臨的日子、好像閃電、從天這邊一閃、直照到天那邊。 Day of Christ return is always in the singular – even in v24 Luke 17:24 "For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. 因為人子在他降臨的日子、好像閃電、從天這邊一閃、直照到天那邊。

Luke 17: Instructions regarding Christ’s Kingdom. KV 21    Clarifying concepts regarding the ministry. 1-19 Dealing with offenses. 1-4 Request for faith and parable of the dutiful servant. 5-10 The ten lepers- an example of complete salvation. 11-19   Concepts on the coming of the Kingdom. 20-37 His first coming already in their midst. 20-21 His second coming will be clearly declared. 22-25 The affluence and decadent state just before His coming. 26-29 Instructions for believers regarding His coming. 30-37

27 那時候的人又喫又喝、又娶又嫁、到挪亞進方舟的那日、洪水就來、把他們全都滅了。 What are the days of the Son of Man? Same as days of Noah and Lot? Affluence before He comes Luke 17: 26 "And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 "It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling (poleo), they were planting, they were building; 29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 26 挪亞的日子怎樣、人子的日子也要怎樣。 27 那時候的人又喫又喝、又娶又嫁、到挪亞進方舟的那日、洪水就來、把他們全都滅了。 28 又好像羅得的日子. 人又喫又喝, 又買又賣, 又耕種, 又蓋造. 29 到羅得出所多瑪的那日、就有火與硫磺從天上降下來、把他們全都滅了。

So days must refer to a period of time…… What are the days of the Son of Man? Same as days of Noah and Lot ? So days must refer to a period of time…… The days of the Son of Man is same – so it is a period before the Tribulation

Luke 17: Instructions regarding Christ’s Kingdom. KV 21    Clarifying concepts regarding the ministry. 1-19 Dealing with offenses. 1-4 Request for faith and parable of the dutiful servant. 5-10 The ten lepers- an example of complete salvation. 11-19   Concepts on the coming of the Kingdom. 20-37 His first coming already in their midst. 20-21 His second coming will be clearly declared. 22-25 The affluence and decadent state just before His coming. 26-29 Instructions for believers regarding His coming. 30-37

So note the two “day” in singular – v29 and v30 Luke 17: 29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 "It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 "On that (ekeinos) day, the one who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back. 29 到羅得出所多瑪的那日、就有火與硫磺從天上降下來、把他們全都滅了。 30 人子顯現的日子、也要這樣。 31 當那日、人在房上、器具在屋裡、不要下來拿．人在田裡．也不要回家。 apokalupto - uncover ekeinos: person or thing immediately preceding or just mentioned. This is a specific day and not a period

15 你們看見先知但以理所說的、那行毀壞可憎的、站在聖地．（讀這經的人須要會意） Matthew 24: 15 "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 "Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18 "Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 15 你們看見先知但以理所說的、那行毀壞可憎的、站在聖地．（讀這經的人須要會意） 16 那時, 在猶太的, 應當逃到山. 17 在房上的、不要下來拿家裡的東西． 18 在田裡的、也不要回去取衣裳。 21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 因為那時、必有大災難、從世界的起頭、直到如今、沒有這樣的災難、後來也必沒有。 Days of Son of man Day Son of Man is revealed Invasion of Abomination of Desolation The Great Tribulation

33 凡想要保全生命的, 必喪掉生命. 凡喪掉生命的, 必救活生命。 Luke 17: 32 "Remember Lot's wife. 33 "Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 "I tell you, on that (outos) night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 "There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left. 36 "Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left.“ [Matt 24:40 has this] 37 And answering they said to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.“ 32 你們要回想羅得的妻子。 33 凡想要保全生命的, 必喪掉生命. 凡喪掉生命的, 必救活生命。 34 我對你們說, 當那一夜, 兩個人在一個床上. 要取去一個, 撇下一個. 35 兩個女人一同推磨．要取去一個、撇下一個。〔有古卷在此有〕 36 〔兩個人在田裡要取去一個撇下一個〕 37 門徒說、主阿、在那裡有這事呢．耶穌說、屍首在那裡、鷹也必聚在那裡。 The rapture outos: referring to or introducing what follows (v31 that is ekeinos) – so it is on a different night.

Application – prosperity gospel The Same as days of Noah and Lot …. Luke 17: 26 "And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 "It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; The implication is that these will distract the world from looking for His return. Thus it cannot be in the Tribulation which is a time of suffering and not affluence.

So do not be distracted……

[the home is the base] 你們無論進那一城、那一村、要打聽那裡誰是好人、就住在他家、直住到走的時候。

16 我差你們去、如同羊進入狼群、所以你們要靈巧像蛇、馴良像鴿子。 17 你們要防備人. 因為他們要把你們交給公會, 也要在會堂裡鞭打你們． Matthew 10: 17-22 Why did Christ mentioned His 2nd coming? Linked to persecutions. 16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 "But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge (mastigoo-whipped) you in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 16 我差你們去、如同羊進入狼群、所以你們要靈巧像蛇、馴良像鴿子。 17 你們要防備人. 因為他們要把你們交給公會, 也要在會堂裡鞭打你們． 18 並且你們要為我的緣故, 被送到諸侯君王面前, 對他們和外邦人作見證。 The disciples did not fully experience it - Lu: 9:10: When the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done Lu. 10: 17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.“ 那七十個人歡歡喜喜的回來說, 主阿, 因你的名, 就是鬼也服了我們。

19 你們被交的時候、不要思慮怎樣說話、或說甚麼話．到那時候、必賜給你們當說的話。 Matthew 10: 17-22 Severe persecutions 19 "But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. 20 "For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. 21 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. 19 你們被交的時候、不要思慮怎樣說話、或說甚麼話．到那時候、必賜給你們當說的話。 20 因為不是你們自己說的、乃是你們父的靈在你們裡頭說的。 21 弟兄要把弟兄、父親要把兒子、送到死地．兒女要與父母為敵、害死他們。 22 並且你們要為我的名, 被眾人恨惡, 惟有忍耐到底的, 必然得救。

Matthew 10: 17-22 – same as – Luke – before 70 AD; Mark - before the Tribulation Mark 13: 9 "But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. 10 "The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. [only now fulfilled and not in Luke] 11 "When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. 12 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. Luke 21: 12 "But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake. 13 "It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. 14 "So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; 15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. 16 "But you will be betrayed even by parents & brothers & relatives and friends, & they will put some of you to death, 17 and you will be hated by all because of My name.

1 Warning on heresies Matt. 24:5-6 Mk. 13:5-6 Olivet Discourse Group of signs Matt. 24 – “Your coming & end of age” (3) and Mk 13 – “all these things” (4) The end-time and antichrist Luke 21 – “ things about (mello) to take place” (7) Destruction of temple 70 A.D. Warning on heresies Matt. 24:5-6 Mk. 13:5-6 False Christs Lu 21:8 - fulfilled 1 Wars, famines, earthquakes Matt 24:6-8; Mk 13:8 Wars, earthquake, famines & signs Lu 21:10-11 - fulfilled 2 Persecutions, and apostasies Matt 24: 9-14; Mk. 13:9-13 Persecutions and turmoil Lu 21: 12-18 - fulfilled 3 Abomination of Desolation invades Matt 24:15-20; Mk 13:14-19 Desolation of Jerusalem Lu. 21: 20-24 – fulfilled by Titus 4 Start of Tribulation Matt 24:21-24; Mk 13:19-20 Great upheaval - after times of Gentiles Lu. 21: 25-26 – in future 5 Christ visible return Matt 24:25-28; Mk 13:26-27 Lu 21:27

有人在這城裡逼迫你們、就逃到那城裡去．我實在告訴你們、以色列的城邑、你們還沒有走遍、人子就到了。 Timing – just before Christ’s return Matthew 10:23 "But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. 有人在這城裡逼迫你們、就逃到那城裡去．我實在告訴你們、以色列的城邑、你們還沒有走遍、人子就到了。 So the persecutions of Matt. 10 and Mk 13 will start before the Tribulation and ends when Christ returns. It is prophecy on intense persecutions on the Messianic Jews …..

Matthew 10: 17-22 – same as – Luke – before 70 AD; Mark - before the Tribulation Mark 13: 9 "But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. 10 "The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. [only now fulfilled & not in Luke] 11 "When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. 12 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. Luke 21: 12 "But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake. 13 "It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. 14 "So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; 15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. 16 "But you will be betrayed even by parents & brothers & relatives and friends, & they will put some of you to death, 17 and you will be hated by all because of My name.

Timing – before taking Jerusalem But right after Mk. 10:13 is the invasion by the antichrist. Timing – before taking Jerusalem Mark 13: 13 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. 14 "But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 "The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house; 13 並且你們要為我的名, 被眾人恨惡, 惟有忍耐到底的, 必然得救。 14 你們看見那行毀壞可憎的、站在不當站的地方．（讀這經的人、須要會意）那時在猶太的、應當逃到山上． 15 在房上的、不要下來、也不要進去拿家裡的東西． So persecution of Messianic Jews is mainly first 3½ yrs before the antichrist takes Jerusalem This is before the 2 witnesses have their powers

無論何人、因為門徒的名、只把一杯涼水給這小子裡的一個喝、我實在告訴你們、這人不能不得賞賜。 One more link to tribulation - giving something to drink Matthew 10:42 Matthew 10:42 "And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward." 無論何人、因為門徒的名、只把一杯涼水給這小子裡的一個喝、我實在告訴你們、這人不能不得賞賜。 Matthew 25:35 'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 因為我餓了、你們給我喫．渴了、你們給我喝．我作客旅、你們留我住． [how God will judge the Millennial survivors]

Thank you and Praise The Lord 謝謝,讚美主

  Other views (Matt. 10) Most take this as persecution before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Some (Campbell Morgan) says it is just an incidental word. BKC takes it as during Acts but will find the fullest manifestation during the tribulation.
