What is Luke 21:25 about in relation to the Kingdom?
Luke 21:25 deals with the closing days of the tribulation, which are directly tied to the beginning of the Kingdom. When the curse is lifted and the tribulation ends, the Kingdom is ready to come in, and the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne in Jerusalem.
Les explains that Luke 21:25 comes back to the closing days of the tribulation, but that period is tied to the beginning of the Kingdom. He connects it to the regeneration, when the earth is restored to its original state before the curse, the curse is lifted, and the tribulation has ended. At that point the Kingdom is ready to come in. The Son of Man will sit on the throne of His glory in Jerusalem, and the twelve apostles will sit on twelve thrones, judging or ruling the twelve tribes of Israel from Jerusalem in the land of Israel.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
