Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 21:7

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

Mark saith, Peter, Iames, Iohn, and Andrew asked him privately. Matthew brings two things more within the compass of their Question, viz. What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the World? Our Saviour answereth this question from v. 8. to v. 32. The most of what he saith, we have before met with in Matthew and Mark. It is the harder to distinguish betwixt the Signs Christ giveth of the Destruction of Ierusalem, and of the Day of Iudgment, because the Signs of both, are generally the same, and most Divines think, that God in the Destruction of Ierusalem, intended to give a Specimen of the general Conflagration, and ruin of the World at the last Day: so as Signs of the same kind with those seen before Ierusalem was destroyed▪ shall be seen before the great and terrible Day of our Lords coming to judge the World.
