Sun 14 Nov Luke 21:5-19
Luk 21:5 Goodly stones - Such as no engines now in use could have brought, or even set upon each other. Some of them (as an eye witness who lately measured them writes) were forty - five cubits long, five high, and six broad; yet brought thither from another country. And gifts - Which persons delivered from imminent dangers had, in accomplishment of their vows, hung on the walls and pillars. The marble of the temple was so white, that it appeared like a mountain of snow at a distance. And the gilding of many parts made it, especially when the sun shone, a most splendid and beautiful spectacle.
Luk 21:8 I am the Christ; and the time is near - When I will deliver you from all your enemies. They are the words of the seducers.
Luk 21:9 Commotions - Intestine broils; civil wars.
Luk 21:11 Fearful sights and signs from heaven - Of which Josephus gives a circumstantial account.
Luk 21:13 It shall turn to you for a testimony - Of your having delivered your own souls, and of their being without excuse.
Luk 21:18 Not a hair of your head - A proverbial expression, shall perish - Without the special providence of God. And then, not before the time, nor without A full reward.
Luk 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls - Be calm and serene, masters of yourselves, and superior to all irrational and disquieting passions. By keeping the government of your spirits, you will both avoid much misery, and guard the better against all dangers.
