Luke 21:7

Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple

5 ^aThen, as some spoke of the temple, how it was¹ adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,

6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which ^anot one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”

8 And He said: ^a“Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’¹ Therefore do not go after them.

9 But when you hear of ^awars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”

What Does Luke 21:7 Mean?

Luke 21:7-28

In verses 7-19, Jesus informs us about the visible signs of world events which signal that the end is near. In verses 20-24, He is still talking about these visible signs, but specifically about those that involve Jerusalem. Verses 25-28 describe the cataclysmic events in the sky and on the earth, heralding His imminent return. Thus, through verse 28, our Savior reveals to us the events presaging His return in the world (verses 7-19), in Jerusalem (verses 20-24), and in the sky and earth (verses 25-28).
