Luke 21:24Easy To Read VersionSome of the people will be killed by soldiers. Other people will be made prisoners and taken to every country. The holy city of Jerusalem will be walked on by non-Jewish people until their time is finished. See the chapter |
The Lord says,\par “Look, I will give you peace.\par This peace will come flowing to you\par like a great river.\par Wealth from all the nations on earth\par will come flowing to you.\par That wealth will come like a flood.\par \{You will be like little babies\}.\par You will drink that ‘milk’ (wealth)\par I will pick you up,\par hold you in my arms,\par and bounce you on my knees.\par
I will put a mark on some of the people—\{I will save them\}. I will send some of these saved people to the nations Tarshish, {\cf2\super [480]} Libya, {\cf2\super [481]} Lud {\cf2\super [482]} (the land of archers {\cf2\super [483]}), Tubal, {\cf2\super [484]} Greece, and all the faraway lands. Those people have never heard my teachings. Those people have never seen my Glory. {\cf2\super [485]} So the saved people will tell the nations about my glory.
“The man dressed in linen {\cf2\super [136]} and standing over the water lifted his right and left hands toward heaven. And I heard him make a promise using the name of God who lives forever. He said, ‘It will be for three and one-half years. {\cf2\super [137]} The power of the holy people will be broken, and then all these things will finally come true.’
Then I heard one of the holy ones {\cf2\super [91]} speaking. Then I heard another holy one answer the first one. The first holy one said, “This vision {\cf2\super [92]} shows what will happen to the daily sacrifice. It is about that terrible sin that destroys. It shows what will happen when people destroy the place where the Ruler is worshiped. It shows what will happen when those people step all over that place. It shows what will happen when the people step all over those stars. But how long will these things happen?”
“Then the future ruler will make an agreement with many people. That agreement will continue for one week. {\cf2\super [115]} The offerings and sacrifices will stop for a half of a week. {\cf2\super [116]} And a destroyer will come. He will do terrible, destructive things! {\cf2\super [117]} But God has ordered that destroyer to be completely destroyed.”
