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

The signs of the Last Day: v. 29.

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. Comp, the Apocalypse of John.)According to the Gospel of Mark, Matthew it is to be assumed that Jesus, after His departure from the temple on the evening of His contest with the Pharisees, that is, on the evening of Tuesday in the Passion-week, went out to Bethany. Further, that He paused... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 24:29-39

Words That Must Be Fulfilled Matthew 24:29-39 The preceding portion of this prophecy is by all interpreters applied to the destruction of Jerusalem. But on the portion that follows there is a considerable division of opinion. Perhaps it is wisest, between Matthew 24:28-29 , to interpolate the Christian centuries during which the gospel is being preached to the Gentiles, according to Romans 11:25 , (but that whole chapter should be considered). Just as one who looks across a mountainous... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 24:1-51

Passing from the city, the disciples drew their Master's attention to the stones of the Temple, and He told them that this glorious building would be demolished so that no single stone would be left upon another. He went on to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples came to Him privately for more spec& teaching ,on the great subjects suggested by His closing address to the crowds, and His prophecy concerning the Temple. In order to understand the teaching of this chapter we must distinctly... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:29

“But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken,” ‘Immediately after the tribulation of those days.’ That is, ‘once the long, tortuous tribulation of the unbelieving Jews is coming to an end’. This follows the pattern of the Exodus when the great deliverance was postponed until every last one of the people of Israel who had not believed had died... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:29-31

The Coming of the Son of Man (24:29-31). In a remarkable contrast Jesus now brings out the glory of His coming which will make all creation pale into insignificance. It will occur when God calls time on the great tribulation suffered through the ages by the Jews. And then all that man gloried in will fade. The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, for both will withdraw in the face of the greater glory of the Coming One. Furthermore the stars will fall from Heaven. This is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:1-40

Matthew 24 f. The Eschatological Discourse, and the Parables of Parousia (Mark 13*, Luke 21:5-Zephaniah : *, Luke 17:23-Haggai :).— Mt. follows Mk. fairly closely, but appends other eschatological sayings and illustrative parables (ch. 25). The discourse arises out of a prediction of the destruction of the Temple, and is spoken in Mt. not to four disciples but to the Twelve, who ask for “ the sign of Thy coming ( i.e. as Messiah, parousia) , and of the end of the world (or age).” Jesus... read more
