The point of the OP is that by harmonizing Matthew, Mark, and Luke one can see that they are all talking about the same event; the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple in 70AD. The Mosaic economy came to an end.From an outside perspective it is interesting to note that we would not be having all this discussion if the Jesuits have not counteracted the reformation with the counter reformation..., most specifically if they have not being successful to seed the devils seed of Futurism into the Church....
You don't need to "harmonize" Luke 21 with Matthew 24 IF you were not trying to acomodate the Bible into your futuristic beliefs.
There are some strong evidence that the Church is Lukewarm and a heavy persecution will come over the church exactly because people think they will be "raptured" ....
Luke and Matthew are referring to the one and same event(s): The destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the JEW AGE.
That is the reason Jesus ref. to the "times of the gentiles" just after that meaning the age of Jews (witnessing) is over and the age of gentiles witnessing for Jesus would start and continue until Jesus comes back.
The Gospels were not about priests in the Roman church but about the Jewish Sanhedrin courts which existed during the time of the Apostles before Jerusalem was destroyed.Today's equivalent of the Jewish courts in time of Jesus is the Catholic Church Inquisition and or all the persecution the Catholic church promotes on true christians through their covered actions .
Bible is very clear that real Jews are the ones that are "Circumcised" in the heart and that the Church is the "Israel of God"...
