Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt, that she might remain a lasting monument of God's displeasure against apostates, who begin in the spirit and end in the flesh.

All this has its due place in the Gospel for the circumcision. But he does not see man merely. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. It is the contrast of the condition of the disciples during His ministry, and that which must be now that He was going to die. This is the opposite of what will happen at the Rapture (cf.

But misery had made common brothers of these men. The remnant of the last days will know what it is to be cast outside Jerusalem also, and it is as outcasts that they will find real deepening of faith and due preparation of heart for receiving the Lord when he appears in the clouds of heaven. And immediately his leprosy left him.Now here they stood afar off. Put your nose to the grindstone." The Christian standard takes the Rabbinic standard, doubles it and adds one; but it is not a matter of calculation.

But it is much to believe it to be what it really is, not (as unbelief thinks) a field of darkness and uncertainty, requiring light upon it, but a light itself, which communicates light to the dark, through the power of the Holy Ghost revealing Christ.

As the dissolution of the Jewish church shall be extended to all parts, so shall the constitution of the Christian church. Undoubtedly Israel ought to have been the green tree of promise; but it was only a dry tree waiting, for judgment.

As that mustard plant begins to grow from the little seed, it begins to move, in a sense, especially to its size the mountains of dirt above it that it might break forth and grow up into a mustard bush. The kingdom of God was not designed to be the glory of one people only, but to give light to the Gentiles; for as the lightning that lightens out of one part under heaven, and shines all on a sudden irresistibly to the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of man be in his day." Of course, whenever He returns some people on earth will be sleeping and others will be awake. The old covenant which condemned was limited. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be For me, I have never known them to be different and I do remember these verses because I too noticed that in modern term people would interpret them differently.

People will be going on with business as usual, eating, drinking, marrying wives, buying, selling, planting, building; business as usual. They were very secure, went on in their business as unconcerned as you could imagine; they did eat, they drank, indulged themselves in their pleasures, and took no care of any thing else, but to make provision for the flesh, counted upon the perpetuity of their present flourishing state, and therefore married wives, and were given in marriage, that their families might be built up. That's so hard, isn't it? As to the first verse, 10 or 15 years ago there was a book that suggested Lincoln was gay. Let me suggest to you that a mustard seed is quite small. They do not eat the carcasses of people. Another place the disciples said, "Lord, increase our faith," and perhaps He's just showing them how little they really do have, and if this be a standard then I must take my place with them. How is He to be known? His rejection was complete; and Old Testament Scripture was amply fulfilled. An unsuffering impassible Christ is of Satan, not the true God and eternal life. For--look you--the kingdom of God is within you. It is an important lesson, and not the first time we find it in Luke, and, indeed, in other Gospels also. They asked when the kingdom of God should come, forming a notion of it as a temporal kingdom, which should advance the Jewish nation above the nations of the earth. "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself!" for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." They are persons who live merely for the present. Something was obviously worrying him. A very important study that also explains this illustration is, Seven Signs of Christs Second Coming..

The Lord grant that even these our studies of the Gospels, which have been necessarily curt and cursory, may nevertheless give an impulse not only to younger saints, but to those who may be ever so old; for assuredly there is no one, whatever may be his maturity, who will not be all the better for a fuller acquaintance with Him who is from the beginning. And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come ( Luke 17:20 ). After this we hear the murmuring Pharisees rebuked, who would have had the disciples rebuked for their song: if they had not sung it, the stones must have cried out; and the Lord vindicates the blameless (Ver. Not a word about the great tribulation such as never was since time was; it is simply "days of vengeance." The kingdom of God is in the life of every man who has submitted to the King, or to God as King. If the death of our Lord does not unlock a man's heart and tongue, I do not know what will. The last chapter gave in the judgment of present things, another world and eternal things in good and evil, the Lord's instruction for the disciples after the dealings of grace in Luke 15:1-32, and this as the only true power of estimating the present world (that is to say, by the standard of the future the eternal future of God.

We had some people come to Calvary a while back looking for my wife; they thought her name was Romaine, because of the reference that I have made to Romaine from time to time. "And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God."

Never was any thing but reality in Jesus; but if in the days of His flesh there was one passage more affecting than another, any thing which more than another presents to us His sorrows clearly, graphically and with solemn instruction for us, anything for God Himself above all glorifying (the cross alone excepted) it was this very scene where Jesus avoids and wards off no suffering, but bends to every stroke, (and what was He spared?) The presence of two men in one bed may be another indication of the moral condition of that time.

Where, on the contrary, God breaks down the believer, and sets him free in the liberty wherewith the Son makes free, the conscience is purged, and the heart turned towards Himself.

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Were they not still cleaving to their own cherished expectations of Messiah, and an earthly kingdom? 17:1-10 Jesus said to his disciples, "It is impossible that snares to sin should not arise; but woe to him through whom they do arise!
