The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 21:8-11

Tokens of the end: v. 8. And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near; go ye not therefore after them. v. 9. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. v. 10. Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; v. 11. and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,... read more

Earlier signs: v. 12. But before all these they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. v. 13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. v. 14. Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate before what ye shall answer; v. 15. for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. v. 16. And ye shall be... read more

2. The Secrets of the Future (Luke 21:5-36)First Part (Luke 21:5-24)(Parallel to Matthew 24:1-21; Mark 13:1-19.)5And as some spake of the temple, how [or, that] it was adorned with goodly stones 6and gifts [offerings, ἀνθέμασιν], he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down [καταλυθήσεται]. 7And they asked him, saying, Master [Teacher], but when shall these things be? and what sign... read more

Days That Try Men’s Souls Luke 21:5-19 When we ask speculative questions, the Master bids us take heed to ourselves. His predictions in this passage were literally fulfilled in the events which culminated in the siege and fall of Jerusalem, forty years afterward. “The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together,” and through these throes and agonies mankind steps up to a new level of experience. The devil will not surrender his kingdom, any more than the bodies of men, without a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 21:1-38

Here we have another illustration of the fact that nothing could escape the Master's vigilance. Of the gifts being cast into the treasury He was the true Appraiser. He saw the widow as she cast in her gift, and said that she had "cast in more than they all." In the realm of superfluity God does not begin to count. The first entry in the heavenly books is that of sacrifice. Addressing His disciples, Jesus spoke to them especially about their service and attitude. His words must have come with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:1-38

Jesus Preaches In The Temple (19:47-21:38). Having driven the traders out of the Temple in His prophetic zeal Jesus then revealed the greatness of His great courage by returning daily to that same Temple in order to teach the people. As the traders, who would quickly have returned, watched with baleful eyes, and the Temple police stood by alert for trouble, Jesus boldly entered the Temple again, and ignoring both, proceeded to address the crowds gathered there. Indeed the great crowds that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:5-24

The Coming Destruction Of The Temple (21:5-24). The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD is now for us a simple fact of history of which today many are unaware, and most see it as almost an irrelevance, but its implications were in fact huge for us all. To the disciples, and the Jews of Jesus’ day, and in fact to the whole history of the Christian world, its significance was certainly immense. For the Temple was seen by many Jews, and even by large numbers of Christian Jews, both... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:5-36

Prophecy Concerning the Destruction of the Temple, the Scattering of the Jews, and the Coming of the Son of Man (21:5-36). This passage connects with the last in that the disciples begin to discuss the offerings that had resulted in the building of the glorious Temple which they could see before them, first as they left the Temple, and then as they sat on the Mount of Olives (Marl Luke 13:3-4). These had been great indeed. Tens of thousand of people who flocked to the Temple would be amazed... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:7

‘And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to occur?” ’ Revealing their typical Jewishness his hearers then asked when these things would be and what would be the signs that introduced their occurrence. In context they were asking about the destruction of the Temple and the casting down of its stones and gifts. Jesus’ reply is quite vivid. The signs that signify its end will not be the political or natural... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 21:8

‘And he said, “Take heed that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he’, and, ‘The time is at hand’, do not go after them.” ’ The first thing that His people will have to beware of is those who will arise saying, ‘I am the one’ in the name of the Messiah, or who will say ‘the time is at hand’. The warning was very necessary as such things did happen in the first two centuries AD. While we know of only one who was actually officially proclaimed as the Messiah, Bar... read more
