28: αρχομενων δε τουτων γινεσθαι ανακυψατε και επαρατε τας κεφαλας υμων διοτι εγγιζει η απολυτρωσις υμων— edit Textus Receptus
28: And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.- edit KJV text
28: But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.— edit Douay text



Your redemption draweth nigh. See "Mt 24:33".

This is expressed in the 31st verse thus: "the kingdom of God is nigh at hand" -- that is, from that time God will signally build up his kingdom. It shall be fully established when the Jewish policy shall come to an end; when the temple shall be destroyed, and the Jews scattered abroad. Then the power of the Jews shall be at an end; they shall no longer be able to persecute you, and you shall be completely delivered from all these trials and calamities in Judea.

  • {a} "your redemption draweth nigh" Rom 8:23
