Luke21:7

A double question is here propounded to our Savior: namely, when the destruction of Jerusalem should be, and what would be the signs of it?

From whence learn, what an itching curiosity there is in the best of men, to know futurities, and to understand things that shall come to pass hereafter; and when that hereafter will come to pass. O how happy were it if we were as forward to obey the declaration of God's revealed will, as we are to pry into the hidden counsels of his secret will: Tell us, say the disciples, when shall these things be?
