Did Jesus give His Jerusalem/Temple Discourse of Luke 21 inside the Temple within hearing of all the people?

Chapter 20 shows Jesus inside the Temple teaching among the people, including the Priests, Scribes and Sadducees.

Luke 20:
1 It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the Good News, that the priests and scribes came to him with the elders. 2They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?

19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers:
these will receive greater condemnation."


This continues into chapter 21, and Jesus is still shown in the Temple and it would appear that He gave His future Temple/Jerusalem discourse in front of all the people, including the Jewish Rulers?

Luke 21:

1 He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury. 2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins. 3 He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, 4 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."

5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down." 7 They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"
===========================

Now to Matthew 24

The previous 3 chapters of Matthew 24 are spoken in the Temple up to the last verse in Matthew 23 when Jesus was giving the Scribes and Pharisees a verbal lashing including condemning them to the "Gehenna" in vs 33:

Matthew 23:
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, 2 saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses' seat
33
'Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?

37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'
"

Then Matthew 24 shows them departing the Temple, and then on the Mount of Olives, when Jesus gives His Temple/Jerusalem discourse:

Matthew 24
1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way.
His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, "You see all of these things, don't you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
3 Yet of Him sitting on the Mount of the Olives, the Disciples came toward to Him according to own saying "be telling! to us, when? shall these be, and what? the sign<4592>
of the Thy parousia, and together-finish<4931> of the age.

==================================
Now Mark 13

In Mark 13, there are at the Mount of Olives, and only 4 of the Disciples come up to Him:

Mark 13:
1 And of Him going forth out of the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, “Teacher! behold what stones and what buildings!”
2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left here upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.”
3 And of Him sitting upon the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him in private, 4“Tell us when these things will be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be accomplished?”

================================================

Is Jesus talking about the future destruction of Jerusalem and Temple in 70ad in Luke 21, and all/part of Matthew 24/Mark 13 is still future?
Or is only part of all 3 fulfilled in 70ad, and part of them still future or all of the 3 discourses are all still future.
Thanks for any responses.

It appears that there is some controversy concerning Luke 21's Temple/Jerusalem discourse compared with Matt and Mark.
I found this site talking about it, but am looking for others.
He states this is only his opinion...........

The Futurist Interpretation of Luke's Version of the Olivet Discourse - Joel's Trumpet

Among commentators, there is an ongoing debate concerning Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. This end-time sermon is found in the synoptic gospels of Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, and Luke 21. While most commentators are okay seeing a fully futurist interpretation of Matthew 24-25 and Mark 13, many others have a hard time seeing Luke 21 through a fully futurist lens, especially the following portion of the text:

they (The inhabitants of Israel) will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations;
and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Luke 21:24

While it is understandable why many would prefer not to see this portion of Jesus’ prophecy as yet-future, as painful as it is, I am of the opinion that we must understand all of Luke 21 as yet to be fulfilled..........The argument revolves around a simple examination of the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD under General Titus.

My point is this: if Jesus was warning about the siege of AD 70, then He actually gave some truly terrible advice. Notice that Jesus did not say that when armies begin marching toward Jerusalem, then it is time to flee.
He did not say when the Romans come for the first preliminary assault, then it is time to flee.
He did not say that when troops enter into the land of Israel, then it is time to prepare an escape.
No, Jesus specifically warned that “when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies” that was the time to flee. And so I repeat, if Jesus’ warning in Luke 21:20–21 concerned Titus’s destruction of Jerusalem, as so many commentators argue, then He gave some truly poor advice. Anyone in Jerusalem who waited until the city was surrounded to attempt to flee would have been taken prisoner or killed.

To answer this

Vespasian first came and had a go at Jerusalem but returned to Rome to claim rulership of the empire then he sent his son Titus to finish Jerusalem.

So the warning came first with Vespasian.

Check out Josephus a secular writer of those times and recorded the roman jewish war
Yes I have and why I am tending to believe Luke 21 was fufilled during the 7yr tribulation Israel went thru when the Jewish wars started around 63ad ending in 70ad.

"Ye will hear of battles and rumors of battles" 1st century Judea

Matthew 24:
6 “And you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. See that you are not troubled;
for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Mark 13:
7 “But when you hear of battles and rumors of battles, do not be troubled;
for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

Luke 21:
9 “But when you hear of battles and commotions/tumults, do not be terrified;
for these things must come to pass first, but the end is not immediate.”
==================================
Luke 19 also goes into more detail:

Luke 21:20
Whenever yet may be seeing the Jerusalem surrounded by war-troops, then be knowing that come nigh<1448> desolating<2050> of Her

Luke 19:
41 And as He nears, beholding the City, and He laments on Her,
42 saying, "That if Thou knew and Thou, even indeed in the day, this, the toward peace of Thee,
now yet it was hid from Thy eyes.
43 That shall be arriving days upon Thee,
and Thy enemies shall be casting up a rampart/siege-work to Thee
and shall be encompassing Thee,

The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD


History records few events more generally interesting than the destruction of Jerusalem, and the subversion of the Jewish state, by the arms of the Romans. -- Their intimate connexion with the dissolution of the Levitical economy, and the establishment of Christianity in the world ; the striking verification which they afford of so many of the prophecies, both of the Old and New Testament, and the powerful arguments of the divine authority of the Scriptures which are thence derived ; the solemn warnings and admonitions which they hold out to all nations, but especially such as are favoured with the light and blessings of REVELATION ;... Many eminent and learned men have employed their pens in the illustration of it ; but the fruits of their labours are, for the most part, contained in large and expensive works, out of the reach of numbers, to whom the discussion might prove equally interesting and improving.

How is it you can Have Luke 21:21&23 apply to 70AD yet apply the Parallel verses in Matt and Mark applying to the future?

Luke 21 - You say 70AD:
21 Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein.

23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.

Matt's parallel, you say NOT 70AD
16 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house: 18 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

19 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!


And Mark's Parallel, again you say NOT 70AD

then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. 16 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 17 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!


What form of Hermeneutics says that parallel passages can be interpreted to have polar opposite meanings from one another?

Matthew 24:16 is preceded by the Abomination of Desolation being setup. End times.

Luke 21:21 is preceded by when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies. 70AD

The Abomination of Desolation in Daniel 12 is for the end times. Daniel 12:4-7.

Who was the power in 70 AD ? Roman Empire
Who will be the power in the end times, great tribulation? Roman Empire of the end times. Great tribulation down at the bottom of my chart.

Matthew 24 concerns the Tribulation Jews and not the raptured Church.

Some people, like the Preterists, believe the Olivet Discourse has to do with General Titus and Jersualem in 70AD while the others believe it has to do with Jerusalem within modern nation of Israel within 7 years prior to Second Coming.

The Scripture and I do not support both positions. The Olivet Discourse is prophesied about the New Testament Congregation of Israel, the Church, prior to Second Coming. The church is God's New Testament representative of His Kingdom, therefore the prophecies concern her.

It appears that there is some controversy concerning Luke 21's Temple/Jerusalem discourse compared with Matt and Mark.
I found this site talking about it, but am looking for others.
He states this is only his opinion...........

The Futurist Interpretation of Luke's Version of the Olivet Discourse - Joel's Trumpet

Among commentators, there is an ongoing debate concerning Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. This end-time sermon is found in the synoptic gospels of Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, and Luke 21. While most commentators are okay seeing a fully futurist interpretation of Matthew 24-25 and Mark 13, many others have a hard time seeing Luke 21 through a fully futurist lens, especially the following portion of the text:

they (The inhabitants of Israel) will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations;
and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Luke 21:24

While it is understandable why many would prefer not to see this portion of Jesus’ prophecy as yet-future, as painful as it is, I am of the opinion that we must understand all of Luke 21 as yet to be fulfilled..........The argument revolves around a simple examination of the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD under General Titus.

My point is this: if Jesus was warning about the siege of AD 70, then He actually gave some truly terrible advice. Notice that Jesus did not say that when armies begin marching toward Jerusalem, then it is time to flee.
He did not say when the Romans come for the first preliminary assault, then it is time to flee.
He did not say that when troops enter into the land of Israel, then it is time to prepare an escape.
No, Jesus specifically warned that “when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies” that was the time to flee. And so I repeat, if Jesus’ warning in Luke 21:20–21 concerned Titus’s destruction of Jerusalem, as so many commentators argue, then He gave some truly poor advice. Anyone in Jerusalem who waited until the city was surrounded to attempt to flee would have been taken prisoner or killed.

.
That's why the early believers were diligent in sharing and giving away their possessions because they believed what Jesus said about the destruction of the Temple.

Matthew 24:16 is preceded by the Abomination of Desolation being setup. End times.

Luke 21:21 is preceded by when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies. 70AD

The Abomination of Desolation in Daniel 12 is for the end times. Daniel 12:4-7.

The rEUnited Roman Empire will be the greatest one before Jesus returns.

The raptured Church returns with Jesus in verse 31

Matthew 24:31
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

It doesn’t say the raptured church returns with Jesus. Rather the rapture of the elect occurs at the sound of the trumpet, especially at the LAST TRUMP. Obviously, it is not the pretribulation rapture but that is a whole different subject that I rather not discuss here. Please stay with the topic of this forum - - the replacment theology. Thank you.
