But when you shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet.
All Commentaries on Luke 21:9 Go To Luke 21
John Chrysostom
AD 407
For an earthquake is at one time a sign of wrath, as when our Lord was crucified the earth shook; but at another time it is a token of God's providence, as when the Apostles were praying, the place was moved where they were assembled. It follows, and pestilence.
But He says, that the end of the city shall not come immediately, that is, the taking of Jerusalem, but there shall be many battles first.
