Luke 21: 20-28 - 'There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 58 (in 'The Covenant with Noah') - The covenant with Noah remains in force during the times of the Gentiles, until the universal proclamation of the Gospel (abbreviated).
- 674 (In 'The glorious advent of Christ, the hope of Israel) - The glorious Messiah’s coming is suspended at every moment of history until his recognition by “all Israel,” for “a hardening has come upon part of Israel” in their “unbelief” toward Jesus. St. Peter says to the Jews of Jerusalem after Pentecost: “Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old.” St. Paul echoes him: “For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?” The “full inclusion” of the Jews in the Messiah’s salvation, in the wake of “the full number of the Gentiles,” will enable the People of God to achieve “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,” in which “God may be all in all.”
- 671 (In 'until all things are subjected to him') - Though already present in his Church, Christ’s reign is nevertheless yet to be fulfilled “with power and great glory” by the king’s return to earth. This reign is still under attack by the evil powers, even though they have been defeated definitively by Christ’s Passover (abbreviated).
- 697 (In 'symbols of the Holy Spirit') - Finally, the cloud took Jesus out of the sight of the disciples on the day of his ascension and will reveal him as Son of man in glory on the day of his final coming (abbreviated).

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. Welcome back to Daily Gospel Exegesis. As always, our goal on this podcast is to really |
| 0:17.4 | dive into scripture to help you understand the literal sense of scripture. |
| 0:21.6 | We're doing a verse by verse exegesis from a Catholic perspective. |
| 0:25.6 | We have quite a challenging reading today and one that has been taken in different ways. |
| 0:30.1 | So let's jump into the text. |
| 0:31.6 | It's Luke chapter 21 verses 20 to 28. |
| 0:34.6 | This is what you were here at today's Mass. |
| 0:38.9 | Jesus said to his disciples, |
| 0:41.3 | When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you must realize that she will soon be laid desolate. |
| 0:48.7 | Then those in Judea must escape to the mountains. |
| 0:51.8 | Those inside the city must leave it. |
| 0:56.1 | And those in country districts must not take refuge in it. |
| 0:59.0 | For this is the time of vengeance when all that scripture says must be fulfilled. |
| 1:04.6 | Alas for those with child or with babies at the breast when those days come, for great |
| 1:10.3 | misery will descend on the land and wrath on this people. |
| 1:14.6 | They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive to every pagan country, |
| 1:19.6 | and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the pagans until the age of the pagans is completely over. |
| 1:33.6 | There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, on earth nations in agony, |
| 1:36.9 | bewildered by the clamour of the ocean and its waves, |
| 1:41.0 | men dying of fear as they await what menaces the world, |
| 1:43.8 | for the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they will see the son of man |
| 1:47.1 | coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand erect, |
