So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
So ye, in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, [ ginomena (G1096 ) - rather, 'coming to pass,'] know that it ["the kingdom of God" (Luke 21:31 )], is nigh, even at the doors - that is; the full manifestation of it; because until then it admitted of no full development. In Luke (Luke 21:28) the following words precede these: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" - their redemption, in the first instance certainly, from Jewish oppression (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16; Luke 11:52): but in the highest sense of these words, redemption from all the oppressions and miseries of the present state at the Second Appearing of the Lord Jesus.
