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).
