There appears to be a controversy concerning the Olivet Discourse and the Gospel of Luke 21 being different.
Here are just a few links concerning the Mount of Olives discourse, where some say that because Luke 21 doesn't mention the the MoO, that it is different than Matt 24/Mark 13, and concerns the destruction in 70ad whereas Matthew and Mark are future.
The Temple Discourse in Luke 21 (not the Olivet Discourse)
Matthew and Mark both mention "buildings" #3619.
These 3 verses in Matt and Mark are the only place in the entire Gospels #3619 is used.
All 3 mention the 70ad Temple, and "..stone upon stone being thrown.." down......
Matthew 24:
1 And Jesus coming out, departed from the Temple.
And His Disciples approached Him to show to Him the buildings of the Temple.
2 And Jesus said to them, “ are ye not seeing all these?
Amen I am saying to ye, not no may be being left here stone upon stone, which not shall be being thrown-down<2647>.”
Mark mention the "manner of stones"
Mark 13:1
And He going forth out of the Temple, one of His Disciples is saying to Him
“Teacher! behold! what manner of stones and what manner of buildings”
2 And Jesus answering said to him, “thou are beholding these, the great buildings.
Not no may be being left here stone upon stone which not no may be being thrown-down<2647>
Luke describes the manner of stones:
Luke 21:
5 and of some saying concerning the Temple, that to goodly stones and votive-offerings<334> it has been adorned
6 “These which ye are beholding?
Shall be coming days in which not shall be being left stone upon stone here which not shall be being thrown-down<2647>

The Temple Discourse in Luke 21 (not the Olivet Discourse)
The "PAROUSIA" in Matthew 24It is obvious that Luke wanted to focus on the theme of Jerusalem’s future destruction by highlighting this little clip in Jesus’ sorrows. Luke’s presentation of the answer to the question of the destruction of the temple further clarifies what Jesus was weeping about as He beheld Jerusalem.
The second difference (which actually comes first) is that there is no mention of the discourse beginning on the Mount of Olives in Luke.
Matthew 24-25 and Mark 13 both contain a discourse which occurs on the Mount of Olives, hence the name, the Olivet Discourse. Luke 21, while containing some of the same aspects, is significantly different from Matthew and Mark.
Let's take a look at those 3 Chapters of the Gospels and see how much they differ:There you go. That means Matthew 24 is not the same thing as Luke 21. Luke 21 was inside the Temple in the morning. Jesus was sitting down inside a place called the "women's" court. He had to "look up' to see the poor old widow put money in the treasury which was located around the outside perimeter of that court.....................
