The Key Word — φόβητρον, phobētrongenerated
The word φόβητρον is a neuter noun that refers to something that causes fear or terror. It is derived from the verb φοβέω, meaning 'to fear'. In this context, it describes sights that are alarming and distressing, emphasizing the emotional impact of the events Jesus describes.
This term is used only once in the New Testament, highlighting its specific application in this prophetic context. The use of this word underscores the gravity of the signs that will appear, intended to evoke a sense of urgency and preparedness among the listeners.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In comparing translations, the Berean Standard Bible uses the phrase fearful sights, which aligns with the KJV and ASV. These versions emphasize the alarming nature of the events.
Other translations, such as the NET Bible and FBV, choose terrifying, which conveys a similar sense of dread but with a slightly different nuance. The variations reflect different emphases on the nature of the sights described.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb governing the verse is ἔσονται, there will be, which introduces a series of noun phrases listing the calamities. The structure includes several clauses that detail the events and their nature, creating a comprehensive picture of what is to come.
The verse contains multiple noun phrases, including σεισμοί (earthquakes), λιμοὶ (famines), and λοιμοὶ (pestilences), each contributing to the overall theme of impending disaster.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
σεισμός appears in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word רַ֫עַשׁ, meaning 'quaking' or 'shaking'. This connection reinforces the idea of natural disasters as signs of divine activity.
The term λιμός is also found in the Septuagint, corresponding to the Hebrew רָעָב, which means 'famine'. This highlights the continuity of themes regarding divine judgment and human suffering across both Testaments.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 21:11 tells us that there will be significant disasters, including earthquakes, famines, and pestilences, along with frightening signs from heaven. These events are warnings of what is to come and call for awareness and preparedness.

Others, however, give the same combination in Matthew 24:7. The Greek nouns are all but identical in sound (limos = famine, and loimos = pestilence), and there is accordingly a kind of rhythmical emphasis of sound which cannot be reproduced in English. Fearful sights.—The Greek word, literally things of terror, is peculiar to St. Luke. He omits here “the beginning of troubles.” or “travail-pangs,” which we find in St. Matthew and St. Mark.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et terræmotus magni erunt per loca, et pestilentiæ, et fames, terroresque de cælo, et signa magna erunt.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

σεισμός refers to a shaking or commotion, primarily understood as an earthquake. It is derived from the verb σείω and is used in various contexts, including tempests and agitation. The New Testament features it in passages describing earthquakes and storms, highlighting its significance in both natural and metaphorical senses.

The Greek word τέ (te) is an enclitic copulative particle that functions similarly to the Latin '-que' and is used to denote a closer connection than the more general καί (kai). It appears primarily in the New Testament, especially in the book of Acts, and can mean 'and,' 'both,' or 'also.' Notably, it is used in verses like Matthew 28:12 and Acts 2:33.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

λιμός (limos) refers to hunger or famine, derived from a sense of scarcity. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Luke and Acts, often indicating a severe lack of food. The word has a fluctuating gender in usage, sometimes appearing as masculine and other times as feminine. It is frequently associated with the concept of deprivation and distress.

λιμός. The wavering of gender which is found in the NT (6 Lk 4}: ἡ Lk 1514, Ac 1178) meets us again in the papyri— P Par 22% (B.c. 165) τῷ λιμῷ διαλυθῆναι, but in a document of the same collection 26. 264 (B.c. 163-2) ὑπὸ τῆς λιμοῦ διαλυόμεναι. Cf. also 7. 2813 (B.c. 160) where, instead of the simple dat., we have διαλυόμεναι ἐν τῷ λιμῷ. Other exx. are P Petr III. 36 (a) verso "ὃ (Ptol.) ἀξιῶ σε δεόμενος μή pe ἀπολέσηι τῶι λιμῶι ἐν τῆι φυλακῆι, “1 entreat you with prayers not to let me perish of hunger in prison” (Edd.), and P Oxy VI. 9029 (c.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

λοιμός (loimos) means pestilence or plague, often used literally for diseases and metaphorically for troublesome individuals. It appears in the New Testament in contexts like Luke 21:11 and Acts 24:5, where it refers to both a literal plague and a pestilent person. The term has a broad historical usage, appearing in classical literature and the Septuagint.
λοιμός, -ov, ὁ, [fr. Hom. down], pestilence; plur. a pestilence in divers regions (see λιμός), Mt. xxiv. 7 [RG Tr mrg. br.]; Lk. xxi. 11; metaph., like the Lat. pestis (Ter. Adelph. 2, 1, 35; Cie. Cat. 2, 1), a pestilent fellow, pest, plague: Acts xxiv. 5 (so Dem. p. 794, 5; Ael. v. h. 14, 11; Proy. xxi. 24; plur., Ps. i. 1; 1 Mace. xv. 21; ἄνδρες λοιμοί, 1 Mace. x. 61, cf. 1S. x.27; xxv. 17, ete.).
λοιμός, ““ pestilence, plague,’’ as in Lk 21, occurs in P Oxy XIV. 1666?° (iii/A.D.) ἤκουσα. . ὅτι παρ᾽ ὑμεῖν λοιμὸς [ἐγ]ένετο, ‘‘ I heard that there has been plague in your neighbourhood” (Edd.). For the metaph. use, as in Ac 245, where it is used of ‘‘a pestilent fellow,’’ (cf. Lat. Zestzs) there is ample support in the LXX (e.g. Ps 11, 1 Macc 152). Cf. also Ac 138, where for the ordinary reading ᾿Ελύμας Burkitt (77S iv. p. 127 ff.) conjecturally restores ὃ λοιμός. The passage then runs: ἀνθίστατο δὲ αὐτοῖς 6 λοιμός, ὁ μάγος, οὕτως γὰρ μεθερμηνεύεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, “now they were withstood by the pestilent fellow, the sorcerer I mean, for ‘ pestilent fellow’ is the interpretation of his name’”’—an interpretation to which Bary YVeshu‘, changed into BAPIHZOY δὲ, would readily lend itself. 3?…

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

Mt 6:14 should therefore read, "Your heavenly Father will forgive you also"; Lu 6:13, "Whom also he named apostles"; Heb 8:6, "The mediator of a better covenant also"; and 1Th 4:14, `If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also (we believe that) those who are fallen asleep in Jesus, God will bring with Him.'

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀπό (transliterated as apo) is a preposition meaning 'from' or 'away from,' typically used with the genitive case. It covers a wide range of meanings, including separation, origin, and partitive sense, as well as indicating distance in time or place. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as indicating motion from a place or the source of something. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

Heaven
(1.) Definitions. The phrase “heaven and earth” is used to indicate the whole universe (Gen. 1:1; Jer. 23:24; Acts 17:24). According to the Jewish notion there were three heavens,
(a) The firmament, as “fowls of the heaven” (Gen. 2:19; 7:3, 23; Ps. 8:8, etc.), “the eagles of heaven” (Lam. 4:19), etc.
(b) The starry heavens (Deut. 17:3; Jer. 8:2; Matt. 24:29).
There are four Hebrew words thus rendered in the Old Testament which we may briefly notice. Raki’a , Authorized Version, firmament. [FIRMAMENT] Shamayim . This is the word used in the expression "the heaven and the earth," or "the upper and lower regions." (Genesis 1:1) Marom , used for heaven in (Psalms 18:16; Isaiah 24:18; Jeremiah 25:30). Properly speaking it means a mountain as in (Psalms 102:19; Ezekiel 17:23) Shechakim , "expanses," with reference to the extent of heaven. (33:26; Job 35:5) St. Paul’s expression "third heaven," (
In the Bible, means primarily the region of the air and clouds, and of the planets and stars, but chiefly the world of holy bliss above the visible heavens. It is called "the third heaven," "the highest heaven," and "the heaven of heavens," expressions nearly synonymous. There holy beings are to dwell, seeing all of God that it is possible for creatures to see. Thither Christ ascended, to intercede for his people and prepare for them a place where all shall at length be gathered, to go no more out forever, Eph 4:10 Heb 8:1 9:24-28.
In this life we can know but little of the location and appearance of heaven, or of the employments and blessedness of its inhabitants. The Scriptures inform us that all sin, and every other evil, are forever excluded; no fruits of sin will be found…

σημεῖον (i.e., *semeion*) is a neuter noun meaning a sign, mark, or token. It encompasses various uses, including distinguishing features, omens, and miraculous signs, particularly in the context of divine authority. The New Testament frequently employs it to refer to miracles and wonders (e.g., Mt 12:38, 24:30). Notably, some lexicons suggest differing nuances regarding its use in relation to signs of divine intervention versus ordinary indications.
παράδοξον, θαυμάσιον. THESE words have this in common, that they are all used to characterize the supernatural works wrought by Christ in the days of his flesh; thus σημεῖον, John ii. 11; Acts ii. 19; τέρας, Acts ii. 22; John iv. 48; δύναμις, Mark vi. 2 ; Acts ii. 22; μεγαλεῖον, Luke i. 49; ἔνδοξον, Luke xiii. 17; παράδοξον, Luke v. 26; θαυμάσιον, Matt. xxi. 15 ; while the first three and the most usual are in like manner employed of the same supernatural works wrought in the power of Christ by his Apostles (2 Cor. xii. 12); and of the lying miracles of Antichrist no less (2 Thess. ii. 9). They will be found, on closer examination, not so much to represent different kinds of miracles, as miracles contemplated under different aspects and from different points of view. Tépas and σημεῖον are often linked together in the N. T. (John iv. 48; Acts ii. 22; iv. 30; 2 Cor. xii. 12); and times…

μέγας is an adjective meaning 'great' or 'large,' used to describe size, intensity, or importance. It can refer to physical dimensions, such as a stone or city, or to abstract qualities like love or fear. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including Matthew 2:10 and Revelation 11:8. The word has comparative and superlative forms: μείζων (greater) and μέγιστος (greatest).

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

εἰμί The whole of the pres. ind. (except 2nd sg. εἶ) may be enclitic when εἰμί is the Copula; but the 3rd sg. is written ἔστι in certain cases of emphasis, e. g. ἔστι μοι, I have: when used as Verb Subst., it retains the accent in all persons. as Substantive Verb, to be, to exist, οὐκ ἔσθ᾽ οὗτος ἀνήρ, οὐδ᾽ ἔσσεται Od.; τεθνηῶτος, μηδ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἐόντος id. Od.; οὐκέτ᾽ ἔστι he is no more, Eur.; θεοὶ αἰὲν ἐόντες Il.; ἐσσόμενοι posterity, id. Il.; ζώντων καὶ ὄντων Ἀθηναίων Dem.:—so of cities, etc., ὄλωλεν, οὐδ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἔστι Τροία (cf. Troja fuit), Eur.

Τῶν ἄλλων νομοθετῶν οἱ μὲν ἀκαλλώπιστα καὶ γυμνὰ τὰ νομισθέντα παρ’ αὐτοῖς εἶναι δίκαια διετάξαντο, οἱ δὲ πολὺν ὄγκον τοῖς νοήμασι προσπεριβαλόντες ἐξετύφωσαν τὰ πλήθη μυθικοῖς πλάσμασι τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐπικρύψαντες.
τινὲς μὲν γὰρ ἐπιδεικνύμενοι λόγων δεινότητα καὶ τὴν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς θηρευόμενοι δόξαν ἐπὶ τοῦτο τῆς παιδείας τὸ μέρος ὁρμῶσιν, ἄλλοι δὲ χάριν ἐκείνοις φέροντες, περὶ ὧν τὴν ἀναγραφὴν εἶναι συμβέβηκε, τὸν εἰς αὐτὴν πόνον καὶ παρὰ δύναμιν ὑπέστησαν·
Μεγάλων μὲν ὄντων καὶ πλουσίων τῶν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιωμάτων εἰς ὑμᾶς, ὑπέρ τι καὶ καθ̓ ὑπερβολὴν ὑπερευφραίνομαι ἐπὶ τοῖς μακαρίοις καὶ ἐνδόξοις ὑμῶν πνεύμασιν: οὕτως ἔμφυτον τῆς δωρεᾶς πνευματικῆς χάριν εἰλήφατε.
