But when you shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet.
All Commentaries on Luke 21:9 Go To Luke 21
Bede
AD 735
The Apostles are also exhorted notto be alarmed by these forerunners, nor to desert Jerusalem and Judea. But the kingdom against kingdom, and the pestilence of those whose word creeps as a cancer, and the famine of hearing the word of God, and the shaking of the whole earth, and the separation from the true faith, may be explained also in the heretics, who contending one with another bring victory to the Church.
