John Gill Commentary Luke 21:35

"for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth." — Luke 21:35 (ASV)

For as a snare shall it come In which a bird is suddenly taken, and cannot get out again;

the Persic version renders it, "as lightning and the splendour of the sun"; which break out at once, and enlighten the whole earth; so the destruction of the Jewish nation should be sudden and unavoidable, and universal;

for it should come on all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth : or land of Judea; and so it was, for not only Jerusalem, but all Judea, and Galilee, suffered in this desolation.
