Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 21:5-28
131. The coming crisis (Matthew 24:1-31; Mark 13:1-27; Luke 21:5-28)Through his parables and other teachings, Jesus had spoken a number of times of his going away and his return in glory, which would bring in the climax of the age, the triumph of his kingdom and final judgment.

Therefore, when Jesus spoke of the destruction of the temple, his disciples immediately connected this with the return of the... read more

Jesus Christ led his disciples to think that beyond the redemption which he was working out for them, and subsequent to it in time, was another great deliverance which should prove of unspeakable value to them. This is true now of our discipleship; we look for and we sorely need a second redemption. I. ITS CHARACTER . It is not, like the first, distinctively and purely spiritual.
