  Psalm 21:1-7, 8,11,13

      1    O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices,
and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
      2    You have given him his heart's desire
               and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
      3    For you meet him with rich blessings;
               you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
‍ ‍4    He asked life of you; you gave it to him,
               length of days forever and ever.
‍ ‍5    His glory is great through your salvation;
               splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
‍ ‍ 6    For you make him most blessed forever;
               you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
      7    For the king trusts in the LORD,
               and through the steadfast love of the
‍ ‍Most High he shall not be moved.

      8  Your hand will find out all your enemies;
               your right hand will find out those who hate you.
           
   11  Though they plan evil against you,
               though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.

13  Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength!
               We will sing and praise your power.
   

When Will These Things Be? (Part 2)

The Kingdom of Jesus: A Study in Luke’s Gospel (#79)

Luke 21:5-38

Pastor Steve Gilbertson

The Jewish temple was a magnificent building, decades in the making. It was the center-piece of Jewish identity, the assurance of God’s presence in their midst. You can imagine the disciples’ horror when Jesus predicted its utter destruction. Incredulous, they asked, “When will these things be?” Jesus gave them an answer which people have been talking about ever since.
