Gospel of Our Lord According to Luke
Luke Chapter 21 Verses 5 through 11
While some people were speaking about
how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings,
Jesus said, “All that you see here–
the days will come when there will not be left
a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”
Then they asked him,
“Teacher, when will this happen?
And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?”
He answered,
“See that you not be deceived,
for many will come in my name, saying,
‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’
Do not follow them!
When you hear of wars and insurrections,
do not be terrified; for such things must happen first,
but it will not immediately be the end.”
Then he said to them,
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues
from place to place;
and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.”
the days will come when there will not be left
a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.
What of yours will be left when the end times come? What things will you be able to take with you? What will you have that you cherished so much that you kept it to the end?
Will you be caught trading things for people when the Lord comes?
