Luke 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:7

And they asked him
That is, his disciples, when they were come to the Mount of Olives, and as he sat upon that, ( Matthew 24:3 ) saying, master, but when shall these things be?
when the temple shall be destroyed; and one stone shall not be left upon another; and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to
pass?
which shows that this refers to the destruction of the temple, and so the signs following; (See Gill on Matthew 24:3).

Luke 21:7 In-Context

5 Some people were talking about the temple, how it was decorated with beautiful stones and ornaments dedicated to God. Jesus said,

6 "As for the things you are admiring, the time is coming when not even one stone will be left upon another. All will be demolished."

7 They asked him, "Teacher, when will these things happen? What sign will show that these things are about to happen?"

8 Jesus said, "Watch out that you aren't deceived. Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I'm the one!' and ‘It's time!' Don't follow them.

9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, don't be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end won't happen immediately."
