Luke Chapter 21, Verse 35
From BibleWiki
35: ως παγις γαρ επελευσεται επι παντας τους καθημενους επι προσωπον πασης της γης
35: For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth.
35: For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of
the whole earth.
As a snare. In Matthew and Mark Jesus compares the suddenness with
which these calamities would come to the deluge coming in the days
of Noah. Here he likens it to a snare. Birds are caught by a snare
or net. It is sprung on them quickly, and when they are not expecting
it. So, says he, shall these troubles come upon Judea. The figure is often
used to denote the suddenness of calamities, Ps 6922 Rev 11:9
Ps 1247 Isa 24:17.
