F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 24:1-14

Be Ready to Endure Matthew 24:1-14 Successive generations have pored over these words of our Lord with great eagerness, endeavoring to extract from them a clear forecast of the future. In the case of the early Christians, they warned them to flee to Pella, and in doing so, to escape the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus. But to all of us they are full of instruction. It is best to consider these paragraphs as containing a double reference. In the first place, up to Matthew 24:28 , they... 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 24:1-26

Jesus’ Words After Leaving The Temple About The Future History of the World, About The Destruction Of The Temple And About His Second Coming (24:1-26). After having prepared His disciples and would be disciples for the future (Matthew 23:1-12) and having exposed the Scribes and Pharisees, revealing why they needed to be displaced (Matthew 23:13-36), and having warned of the coming abandonment of the Temple by God (Matthew 23:37-39), Jesus now declares that as a consequence the Temple will be... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:4-8

1) Outline of the General Future of The World Describing the Initial Birth Pains Of The New Age (24:4-8).

Such, consisting of war, famine and earthquakes, etc. will cause suffering among the nations and will lead up to and include the invasion of Judaea and the destruction of Jerusalem. Analysis. a And Jesus answered and said to them, “Take care that no man lead you astray, for many will... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:5-8

The Beginning of Birth Pains (the Early Contractions) (24:5-8). Jesus begins by describing the turbulent future that the world must face. This should not have been surprising to anyone who knew the Scriptures. The Old Testament is full of descriptions of war and famines and earthquakes and tribulations which were to come and would occur at various stages. So Jesus’ words are simply confirming what the Scriptures had foretold. All that the prophets have spoken of must come about, but this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:8

“But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.” So all these thing will be but the first contractions in the process leading up to His coming. There will still be a long way to go. Such birth pains which will lead up to judgment or to God’s final consummation are a regular feature of Scripture (see Isaiah 13:8 where the Babylonian invasion is in mind; Matthew 26:17 where they will finally lead up to the resurrection; Jeremiah 4:31; Jeremiah 6:24 which are prior to the previous... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:6-8

Mark hath the same, Mark 13:7,Mark 13:8. Luke hath also much the same, Luke 21:9-11, only he addeth, fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Interpreters think this prophecy did chiefly respect the destruction of Jerusalem, for the time from our Saviour’s death to that time was full of seditions and insurrections, both in Judea and elsewhere. The truth of our Saviour’s words as to this is attested by Josephus largely, from the eleventh chapter of his second book of the Wars... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 24:1-14

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 24:1. To show Him the buildings of the temple.—Was that glorious house indeed to be left “desolate”? Would not the sight of its glories lead Him to recall those words of evil omen?Matthew 24:2. See ye not all these things?—The expression, “all these things,” does not refer definitely to the buildings of the temple. It refers to these buildings only in so far as they were contingently connected with a more generic class of things, the things of dread significance to which... read more
