Luke 21:25-28
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, 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 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
When things really get bad to the point of the heavens and earth in shaking turmoil, then we who have hope can realistically respond by lifting up tired heads and have even joy. We can do this as we face an existence of never ending relief in God's presence. The distress of a sin ravaged and broken world will fade away at last. So when we see Jesus return in the midst of calamity, we see what cannot be shaken instead.
