Luke
Luke 21:5–6
Earthly religious grandeur cannot prevent divine judgment.
Luke 21:5–6 (WEB)
5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 “As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
Central Idea
Earthly religious grandeur cannot prevent divine judgment.
Authorial Intent
To establish Christ’s prophetic authority and warn of the coming destruction of the temple.
Chapter: Luke 21
The Widow’s Gift, Jerusalem’s Fall, and Watchfulness before the Son of Man
Because Jesus’ words outlast the temple, the city, and the heavens, disciples must give themselves wholly to God, endure persecution, discern the times, and watch prayerfully for the coming Son of Man.
