* Luke 21 has the clearest time line of how things will happen. Of course in the day Jesus taught they would not know the dates. We know the dates of those things that have come to pass being where we are in time. Of course we still don’t know dates for future things. We will not know the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36), but Jesus said we would know when His coming is at the door (Matthew 24:33). So watch! (Matthew 25:13)
