PLEASE explain Luke 21:35, “For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” P. I. R.
It will be seen by the context and parallel scriptures that the day referred to is the great day of the Lord. That day is the day of God’s wrath against sin, in which no star of hope will shine for the impenitent. Those believing God’s Word will have sought His mercy. Those who do not believe will place their affections on earth; they become earth-dwellers. Not believing God, they will not prepare to meet Him, and so the great day of final testing will come upon them unawares. The child of God is a pilgrim, walking circumspectly.
