L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:1-51

He leaves the temple, and in Matthew is not seen there again. What can it be now without its proper Inhabitant? But the disciples draw His attention to the ornate buildings that were really only the work of men's hands. He tells them solemnly that of all this grandeur not one stone would be left upon another. Not many years later (in 70A.D.) the Romans destroyed the city and burned the temple. It remained in a ruined state for many years; but it is reported that the Emperor Julian "the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

THINGS TO COME The present lesson connects itself with the last without a break. The disciples, mystified by what our Lord said about the “house,” i.e., the temple, being left “desolate” (23:38), called His attention to its grandeur and strength (Matthew 24:1 ). His further observation (Matthew 24:2 ) deepened their wonder, hence their improvement of the opportunity on the Mount of Olives for the questions of verse three. The first was answered by the destruction of the temple under Titus,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 24:1-41

Chapter 83 Prayer Almighty God, we are here still, even in thine house, and in the most holy place upon the earth, even the sanctuary of God, because of thy tender mercy and thy lovingkindness towards us. This is the crown and the sum thereof: thou hast no other love to show us here and now, than in the house and in the cross of thy Son Jesus Christ. This is the very sun of thy glory, the full outshining of thy grace and wisdom, and no other light can we now have than that which is the grace... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 24:3-14

"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (6) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:7

And there shall be, according to the proverb, Greek: loimos meta limon, plague after famine, both natural daughters of war, with intestine divisions, earthquakes, and other calamities; the third sign. ... As the bodies of men generally grow weak and faint previous to dissolution, so will it be with the earth before the destruction of the world; so that this inferior globe will be shaken with unusual convulsions, as if making its last effort for existence. The air filled with destructive... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:4-28

4-28 The disciples had asked concerning the times, When these things should be? Christ gave them no answer to that; but they had also asked, What shall be the sign? This question he answers fully. The prophecy first respects events near at hand, the destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the Jewish church and state, the calling of the Gentiles, and the setting up of Christ's kingdom in the world; but it also looks to the general judgment; and toward the close, points more particularly to the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 24:1-99

Matthew 24 ALL THAT WE have been reading, from Mat_21:23 , had taken place in the temple precincts. Now, Mat_24:1 , Jesus departed, and the disciples desired to call His attention to some of its splendid buildings, only to draw from Him the prediction that it was to be razed to its foundations. This started their enquiries as to the time of the fulfilment of His saying, which they connected with the end of the age. The first words of His reply show that His predictions are to forewarn and... read more

Other external signs: v. 6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. v. 7. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places. v. 8. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 24:2-44

PART FIFTHFinal and Fullest Manifestation of Christ as the Prophet; or, Discourses of the Lord concerning the “Last Things” (Eschatological Discourses)(Matthew 24:2 to Matthew 25:31; Mark 13:0; Luke 21:5-38.
