Luke 21:7

5 As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said,

6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”

8 Jesus answered, “See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

9 When you hear of wars and rebellions, do not be alarmed. These things must happen first, but the end is not imminent.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
