And they asked him, saying, Teacher, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
All Commentaries on Luke 21:7 Go To Luke 21
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
There is a true saying next to the points about the temple that Solomon founded. The enemy must first destroy this by the time of the judgment. Everything made by labor and by hand in either age will wear out or be destroyed by force or consumed by fire…. When asked when the destruction of the temple would be and what would be the sign of his coming, the Lord warns of signs and does not think that the time should be made known. Matthew added a third question. The disciples asked about the times of the destruction of the temple, the sign of the coming, and the end of the world. Luke thought that enough was known about the end of the world if it were learned under the topic of the Lord’s coming. ,
