There is a uniqueness to the time that Jesus Christ spent on earth. His life very literally the hinge of world history. As His earthly ministry draws to a close on Tuesday of Holy Week, the border between one age and another is becoming very thin. The generation that killed Jesus is going to continue carrying out their bloodlust on His messengers until their chalice is full. When their iniquity is complete, judgment from heaven is visited on that generation. These days of vengeance (Luke 21:22) mark the vindication of Christ's ministry, the destruction of His accusers, and the glorious sunrise of the new covenant after the end of that age. Echoes of the fall persist even now as the new covenant age advances, but no matter the duration or intensity of our suffering, Jesus's instructions are timeless. Do not be led astray. Stand firm. Persevere. You are safe under His wings.
