Luke 21:6

6 "The time is coming when what you see here will be totally destroyed -- not a single stone will be left standing!"

Luke 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:6

As for these things which ye behold
Some, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, read these words by way of interrogation; "are these the things which ye behold?" do ye look upon these with wonder and delight? the days will come;
and they are hastening on; a little while, a few years more: in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down; (See Gill on Matthew 24:2).

Luke 21:6 In-Context

4 For they, out of their wealth, have contributed money they could easily spare; but she, out of her poverty, has given all she had to live on."
5 As some people were remarking about the Temple, how beautiful its stone work and memorial decorations were, he said,
6 "The time is coming when what you see here will be totally destroyed -- not a single stone will be left standing!"
7 They asked him, "Rabbi, if this is so, when will these events take place? And what sign will show that they are about to happen?"
8 He answered, "Watch out! Don't be fooled! For many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time has come!' Don't go after them.
