LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 21:5 Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem (vv. Luke 21:5) and the coming of the Son of Man (vv. Luke 21:25). As is also the case earlier in Luke 1:1 (Luke 17:22; Luke 19:43), the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 is used by Jesus as a pattern or a “type” of the ultimate destruction at the end of the age when Christ returns.
