Luke 21

Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg delves into Luke chapter 21 and discusses the controversial passage that references the destruction of the Temple. He argues that while Jesus predicted the fall of the Temple, this did not necessarily imply that the second coming had already occurred. Gregg believes that Jesus primarily intended to warn his followers of the impending disaster that would befall Jerusalem and emphasizes the importance of understanding the relevant Hebrew idioms. He interprets some of the commonly used eschatological imagery, such as the promise that "this generation will not pass away," in light of the historical context of the first century AD.
