Contents: The widow's mite. Discourse on the course of the age and return of the Lord.

Characters: Jesus, widow, disciples.

Conclusion: As the time draws near when the Kingdom of God shall be fully established upon the earth, and the King shall return in glory, the days will be characterized by increasing apostasy, disturbances in the earth and in the heavens, and intense hatred of those who proclaim the Gospel. The age will culminate in a period of terrible fear upon man, and then shall Christ appear.

Key Word: Course of age, Luke 21:7.

Strong Verses: Luke 21:8; Luke 21:9; Luke 21:18; Luke 21:25; Luke 21:26; Luke 21:27; Luke 21:33.

Striking Facts: Luke 21:20-24. Two sieges of Jerusalem are in view in this chapter. These verses refer to the siege of Titus, A. D. 70, when Luke 21:24 was fulfilled. Christ did not come then. Jerusalem has been trodden down throughout the present dispensation and will ever be disputed about until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled and He comes who is rightful King.
