Luke 21:25-28

Bible Text

[25] There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; [26] men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. [27] Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."

Jerusalem and Judea are the land and city whose coming devastation frames Jesus’ warning in the surrounding discourse, while the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, is where he taught these things. Against that local judgment, verses 25–28 also proclaim the climactic coming of the Son of Man and redemption for his people.
