Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 12:56

56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the skie, and of the earth: but how is it, that ye do not discern this time?

We met with a discourse of the same Nature Matth. 16.2. See the Notes there. The sense of our Saviour is, that God by his Prophets, had given them more certain Signs and Revelations of the coming of the Messiah, and of the Nature of his Kingdom, and the effects, and consequents of it, then were written in Nature of any natural effects, and upbraids their stupid ignorance, and unbelief, that they could give credit to, and discern the latter, and not the former, whereas the former were much more certain.
