Bible Note: Hi EdB, Check out the following in the NLT, it isn't even close to conveying what the Greek says. Luke 21:22 NLT For those will be days of God's vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. Nowhere in that verse, in the Koine Greek, is the word Theos , or God, used. The reign and rule of the antichrist is predicted in Scripture and I think that is the period of time referred to in Luke 21:22. In my estimation the exact opposite is in view in this verse and I think it parallels Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. I think that these verses, in Luke, are warning to believers of the terrible times that will be taking place at the hand of antichrist. If that is the case the translation could have been written as follows. For these be the days of the devils vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Can you see what I am trying to say? The translators of the NLT in this incidence are trying to introduce their concept instead of conveying what the Koine Greek actually said! 1 Thes. 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. My two cents worth, CDBJ |
