Luke Chapter 21, Verse 26
From BibleWiki
26: αποψυχοντων ανθρωπων απο φοβου και προσδοκιας των επερχομενων τη οικουμενη αι γαρ δυναμεις των ουρανων σαλευθησονται
26: Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken.
26: Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come
upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.
Men's hearts failing them. This is an expression denoting the
highest terror. The word rendered failing commonly denotes to
die, and here it means that the terror would be so great that men
would faint and be ready to die in view of the approaching calamities.
And if this was true in respect to the judgments about to come upon
Judea, how much more so will it be in the day of judgment, when the
wicked will be arraigned before the Son of God, and when they shall have
before them the prospect of the awful sufferings of hell -- the pains
and woes which shall continue for ever! It will be no wonder, then, if
they call on the rocks and mountains to hide them from the face of God,
and if their hearts sink within them at the prospect of eternal suffering.
