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 all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
5 And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said,
6 "As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
7 And they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"
8 And he said, "See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.
