Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:29-41

29-41 Christ foretells his second coming. It is usual for prophets to speak of things as near and just at hand, to express the greatness and certainty of them. Concerning Christ's second coming, it is foretold that there shall be a great change, in order to the making all things new. Then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds. At his first coming, he was set for a sign that should be spoken against, but at his second coming, a sign that should be admired. Sooner or later, all... 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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:37-41

His Coming, Of Which He does Not Know The Time, Will be Sudden and Unexpected (24:37-41). Just as in the days of Noah the coming of the flood was sudden and unexpected, so also will be the coming of ‘the Son of Man’, that is, of ‘their Lord’. They are therefore to keep on the watch because they do not know the day on which He will come.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:38-39

“For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man.” So sudden and unexpected would be the final event that most would be caught unawares when the end came. The similarity lies in the fact that in the days before the Flood men ate and drank, and married and gave in marriage, in the... read more
