He knew that strife would sunder, and famine would waste, and sword would slay with a tenfold force and fierceness; and in a measure through that very Gospel of peace which He sent His disciples forth in peril of their lives to proclaim. He knew that the new impulse, the new inspiration, which His Gospel offered would... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

Chapter 24Now Jesus went out ( Matthew 24:1 ),Left the house desolate. He is rejected now. They've rejected Him, now He has rejected them.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:1-51

Matthew 24:1 . The buildings of the temple. Herod had gradually rebuilt the temple, taking down one part, and raising it anew, so that the worship was not interrupted. Hence it was still the second temple renovated; the vessels, the priests, and even all the stones fit for use were still employed.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:7-14

II. THE COMMOTIONS PRECEDING THE DESTRUCTION CONTRASTED WITH THE MILLENNIAL EVANGELIZATION PREVIOUS TO THE END, Matthew 24:7-14 Our Lord farther cautions the disciples that the ensuing troubles are not the tribulation preceding the end, from the fact that the Gospel must have a universal sway before the world ends. Christ has not come into the world for nothing. His Gospel, his doctrines, and his religion, as well as his atonement, are calculated for the world. And as the atonement is for all... read more
