Luke 21:7

7 And they asked him, and said [saying], Commander, when shall these things be? and what token shall be, when they shall begin to be done?

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 when some men said of the temple, that it was appareled with good stones and gifts [that it was adorned with good stones and gifts], he said,

6 These things that ye see, days shall come, in which a stone shall not be left on a stone, which shall not be destroyed. [+These things that ye see, days shall come, in the which a stone shall not be left upon a stone, that shall not be destroyed.]

7 And they asked him, and said [saying], Commander, when shall these things be? and what token shall be, when they shall begin to be done?

8 And he said, See ye, that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, For I am, and the time shall approach [and the time shall nigh]; therefore do not ye go after them.

9 And when ye shall hear battles and strives within [But when ye shall hear battles and dissensions within], do not ye be afeared; it behooveth first these things to be done, but not yet at once is an end [but not yet anon the end].
