Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:34
Take heed to yourselves - See our Lord's parable, relative to this matter, explained, Mark 13:34 ; (note). Be overcharged - Literally, be made heavy, as is generally the case with those who have eaten or drank too much. Take heed that ye be not rendered secure by an improper use of lawful things: do not make this earth your portion: expect its dissolution, and prepare to meet your God. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always - Perhaps we should connect ες παντι καιρῳ , continually, with αγρυπνειτε , watch, as it appears to be the most natural order. Indeed the word continually belongs equally to both watch and pray; and no man is safe, at any time, who does not attend to this advice as literally as possible. That shall come to pass - That is, the tribulations which are on their way to overwhelm and destroy the Jewish people. These are sufficiently stated in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:5-38
Preliminaries of the second advent. It would seem that, as an interlude amid his diligent teaching in Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples, on their way back to Bethany, had paused on the Mount of Olives and contemplated the temple. The building was a superb one, and so well put together that the disciples and people generally believed it would last till doomsday. Hence, amid their admiration for the gorgeous pile, came their question about the end of the world, which would, they believed,... read more

And he spake to them a parable . "It is certain," went on the Lord to say, "that summer follows the season when the fig tree and other trees put forth their green shoots. It is no less certain that these things—the fall of Jerusalem, and later the end of the world—will follow closely on the signs I have just told you about." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pan away, till all be fulfilled . In the interpretation of this verse, a verse which has occasioned much perplexity to students, any non-natural sense for "generation" ( γεμεά ), such as being an equivalent for the Christian Church (Origen and Chrysostom) or the human race (Jerome) must be at once set aside. γενέα (generation) denotes roughly a period of thirty to forty years. Thus the words of the Lord here simply asserted that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away . A general conclusion to the whole prophecy. "No word of mine," said the Master, "will ever pass away unfulfilled. Some of you will even live to see the terrible fulfillment of the first part of these utterances. All that mighty pile of buildings called Jerusalem will pass away, but my words which told of their coming ruin will remain. All this vast creation, earth, and stars will disappear in their turn, but these sayings... read more
