Section 108e
Warning against failing to discern the present time
Perhaps Judea
Luke 12:54-59
54Jesus also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and that is what happens. 55And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens. 56Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, so why can you not interpret this present time? 57“Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58As you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59I tell you, you will certainly not come out of there until you have paid the very last cent.”
