Luke 21:7

Signs of the End of the Age

7 And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, when therefore will these [things] happen, 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 And [while] some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with precious stones and votive offerings, he said,

6 "[As for] these [things] that you see--days will come in which not [one] stone will be left on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

7 And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, when therefore will these [things] happen, and what [will be] the sign when these [things] are about to take place?"

8 And 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!' Do not go after them!

9 And when you hear about wars and insurrections, do not be terrified, for these [things] must happen first, but the end [will] not [be] at once."
