This phrase reflects a symbolic act performed by Jesus' disciples when a town rejected their message. In Jewish culture, shaking off the dust from one's feet was a gesture of disassociation and judgment, indicating that the town was considered pagan or unclean. This act is rooted in the Jewish practice of shaking off Gentile dust when returning to Israel, signifying separation from those outside the covenant community. The disciples' action served as a public declaration that the town had rejected the message of the Gospel and, consequently, the peace and blessings associated with it. This gesture is also a warning of impending judgment, as seen in other biblical instances where rejection of God's messengers leads to divine consequences (e.g., <a href="/acts/13-51.htm">Acts 13:51</a>).Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near. This statement emphasizes the urgency and immediacy of the message the disciples were delivering. The "kingdom of God" refers to God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises through Jesus Christ. The phrase "is near" indicates that the kingdom is both present in the person and work of Jesus and imminent in its full realization. This echoes the prophetic announcements in the Old Testament, such as in <a href="/isaiah/52-7.htm">Isaiah 52:7</a>, where the coming of God's reign is proclaimed as good news. The nearness of the kingdom calls for a response of repentance and faith, as seen in Jesus' own preaching (<a href="/mark/1-15.htm">Mark 1:15</a>). The disciples' proclamation serves as both an invitation to enter the kingdom and a warning of the consequences of rejecting it.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure of the Gospel who sends out the seventy-two disciples to preach and heal. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_seventy-two_disciples.htm">The Seventy-Two Disciples</a> Followers of Jesus sent out in pairs to prepare the way for Him, tasked with preaching the kingdom of God. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_towns.htm">The Towns</a> Various locations where the disciples were sent to proclaim the message of the kingdom. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_kingdom_of_god.htm">The Kingdom of God</a> The central theme of Jesus' message, representing God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_act_of_shaking_dust.htm">The Act of Shaking Dust</a> A symbolic gesture indicating rejection and a warning of judgment for those who do not receive the message.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_urgency_of_the_message.htm">The Urgency of the Message</a> The kingdom of God is near, and the urgency of the message requires immediate attention and response. <a href="/topical/r/responsibility_of_the_messenger.htm">Responsibility of the Messenger</a> Like the disciples, believers today are called to faithfully deliver the message of the gospel, regardless of the response. <a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_shaking_dust.htm">Symbolism of Shaking Dust</a> This act serves as a solemn warning and a reminder of the consequences of rejecting God's message. <a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_judgment.htm">God's Sovereignty and Judgment</a> The passage underscores God's sovereign rule and the reality of judgment for those who reject His kingdom. <a href="/topical/h/hope_and_assurance.htm">Hope and Assurance</a> Despite rejection, the assurance remains that the kingdom of God is near, offering hope to those who believe.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_luke_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Luke 10</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'overcome_by_the_blood'_mean.htm">What were the teachings of Jesus?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_about_angels.htm">What does the Bible say about angels?</a> <a href="/q/is_there_historical_proof_of_queen's_divine_wisdom.htm">In Luke 11:31, is there credible historical evidence affirming that the Queen of the South recognized a divine wisdom comparable to, or foreshadowing, that of Jesus?</a> <a href="/q/two_or_three_witnesses_needed.htm">When should you search and when should you give up?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) Be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.--There is something very solemnly impressive in the fact that this is the message to be uttered alike to the believing and the unbelieving.
