Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:7

And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?Jesus went far beyond answering the question recorded here. He did indeed give the sign that signaled the end of Jerusalem and the temple (Luke 21:20); but as Geldenhuys noted:So terrible, the Saviour warns them, will be the judgments soon to burst forth over the people of Jerusalem, that the judgments upon the guilty city will be the foreshadowing of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 21:8

And he said, Take heed that ye be led not astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.The application of these verses through Luke 21:19 are primarily to the twelve apostles, this being implicit in the fact of four apostles being named by Mark as precipitating this prophecy; and when Jesus said to them, "They shall lay their hands upon YOU, etc." there can hardly be any way to avoid... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 21:11

Luke 21:11. Fearful sights, &c.— Josephus, in his relation of the signs and prodigies which preceded the taking of Jerusalem, mentions that a star hung over the city like a sword, and [an appearance like] a comet continued for a whole year; that the people being assembled to celebrate the feast of unleavened bread, at the ninth hour of the night, there shone so great a light about the altar and the temple, that it seemed to be bright day, and this continued for half an hour; that the... read more
