Notes

Luke 21:22

these are the days of vengeance: The destruction of Jerusalem was part of God’s judgment for Israel’s rejection of the Messiah.

Luke 21:20–24

Jesus was describing the siege and destruction of Jerusalem that would take place in AD 70.

Luke 21:5–38

When Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, his disciples asked when it would happen and what signs would accompany it (21:6,7). Jesus responded by describing the events surrounding the destruction of the temple and the return of the Son of Man (21:8–36). This sermon is known as the Olivet Discourse because the Mount of Olives was where Jesus taught (see Matthew 24:3; Mark 13:3).
