{Lowring} (stugnaz(936e)). A sky covered with clouds. Used
also of a gloomy countenance as of the rich young ruler in  Mr
10:22 . Nowhere else in the New Testament. This very sign of a
rainy day we use today. The word for "foul weather" (cheim(936e))
is the common one for winter and a storm. {The signs of the
times} (	a s(886d)eia t(936e) kair(936e)). How little the Pharisees and
Sadducees understood the situation. Soon Jerusalem would be
destroyed and the Jewish state overturned. It is not always easy
to discern (diakrinein, discriminate) the signs of our own
time. Men are numerous with patent keys to it all. But we ought
not to be blind when others are gullible.
