Signs of the End of the Age

7 "Teacher," they asked Him, "so when will these things be? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"

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 As some were talking about the temple complex, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, He said,

6 "These things that you see-the days will come when not one stone will be left on another that will not be thrown down!"

7 "Teacher," they asked Him, "so when will these things be? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?"

8 Then He said, "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Don't follow them.

9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, don't be alarmed. Indeed, these things must take place first, but the end won't come right away."
