Luke 21:7

7 And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what [is] the sign when these things are going 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 And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,

6 [As to] these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.

7 And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what [is] the sign when these things are going to take place?

8 And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am [he], and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not [therefore] after them.

9 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.
