Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:20
But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.THE SIGN AND WHAT SHALL FOLLOW ITThe sign was to be the encirclement of Jerusalem with hostile armies. This was a sign no one could miss; and when it came, they were to expect utter desolation of the city.There is absolutely no evidence here that Luke was writing long after the facts, or that he retrospectively included these words in Jesus' prophecy. Such a conceit exists in the critical schools, but it... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:21
Then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein. For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.Flee unto the mountains ... History records that no Christian lost his life in the incredible devastation that overtook Jerusalem, the certainty that they did escape being the only authentication of Jesus' prophecy that is necessary. Eusebius tells... read more

20, 21. by armies—encamped armies, that is, besieged: "the abomination of desolation" (meaning the Roman ensigns, as the symbols of an idolatrous, pagan, unclean power) "spoken of by Daniel the prophet" ( :-) "standing where it ought not" ( :-). "Whoso readeth [that prophecy] let him understand" (Matthew 24:15). Then . . . flee, c.—EUSEBIUS says the Christians fled to Pella, at the north extremity of Perea, being "prophetically directed" perhaps by some prophetic intimation still more explicit... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:5-36
D. Jesus’ teaching about the destruction of the temple 21:5-36The emphasis in Luke’s version of this important discourse concerning the future, the Olivet Discourse, is a warning and an encouragement to persevere. Jesus gave this teaching so His disciples would be ready for the coming of the kingdom (cf. Luke 21:34-36). Luke had already reported much teaching about the future (Luke 12:35-48; Luke 17:20-37). However some lessons bore repetition, such as the place of signs in signaling the end... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:20
The sign that Jerusalem’s destruction was imminent would be the presence of besieging armies (cf. Luke 21:7). This happened when Titus encircled the city with troops and put it under siege beginning in A.D. 68. read more

3. The judgment coming on Jerusalem 21:20-24Jesus now returned to the subject of when the temple would suffer destruction (Luke 21:7). The similar passages in Matthew and Mark are sufficiently different to alert the reader to the fact that they deal with a different incident from what Luke described (Matthew 24:15-22; Mark 13:14-20). Even some commentators who believe that Luke depended heavily on Mark for his material admit this difference. [Note: E.g., Marshall, The Gospel . . ., p. 770-71.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 21:21-22
Then the Jews should get away from the city. Those in it should leave, those outside it should not enter it while it would be under siege, and those living in the surrounding area should move farther from it. God’s vengeance on the city would descend shortly in fulfillment of prophecy (Daniel 9:26).Earlier Luke recorded Jesus’ teaching about the destruction that would come on Palestine just before His return (Luke 17:22-37). Matthew and Mark wrote that Jesus also gave that teaching in the... read more
