Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:31

“But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory,” Significantly here the Son of Man is paralleled with the King (Matthew 25:32). In Daniel 7:13-14 the son of man came into the presence of the Ancient of Days and was given a kingdom and glory and dominion. In the case of Jesus this was fulfilled by His enthronement after the resurrection (Matthew 28:18; Acts 2:36; Acts 7:55-56) when He received His eternal kingdom... read more

Matthew 25:31-1 Corinthians : . The Day of Judgment (Mt. only).— Though the nations are gathered before the Son of Man as judge, they pass into the background in the trial which is really that of the Christian Church, unless indeed the assumption is that all the nations have become Christian ere the Judgment. For the sheep and the goats cf. Ezekiel 34:17 ff. Note the sudden transition to the title “ King” ( Matthew 25:34). Have we here another adaptation to the Parousia of a parable in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 25:31-33

Our Saviour having spoken much before of his spiritual kingdom, which he exerciseth in his church, cometh now more plainly to tell them what kind of a kingdom he should further set up and exercise in the end of the world; far different from that which the Jews dreamed of, and his own disciples seemed to have some expectations of. When the Son of man, he who now appeareth to you in the form of a servant, and only as the Son of man, shall come in his glory, a glorious manifestation of himself; he... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 25:31-46

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 25:31. When the Son of man shall come, etc.—The paragraph, Matthew 25:31-46, is not a parable, as some, inclusive of Townsend and Olshausen, have supposed, but a prophecy. It is a prophecy, however, which is largely imbued with parabolic and dramatic symbolisms; and which, consequently, requires for its interpretation the careful discrimination of substance and form, essence and accident (Morison). His glory.—His personal glory. The throne of His glory.—The glory of His... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:31-33

Matthew 25:31-33 I. When we turn to the Book of God in order to learn what particulars are revealed to us respecting the awful coming of the Lord, the first thing which strikes us is its suddenness. When it will be we know not; where it will be we know not. It must suffice for us that it will be as sudden as the lightning flash; and that, wherever in the round world it is, we shall be there, as certainly as the eagles gather to the fallen carcase. II. There shall be only two companies the saved... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:1-46

Shall we turn now to Matthew's gospel chapter twenty-five? In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew's gospel the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him what would be the signs that would precede the destruction of the temple, and then the signs of thy coming, and the end of the age. He had just left the scribes and the Pharisees, and told them that they would not see Him again, until they said, "blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord".And so Jesus was referring to another coming. And so... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 25:1-46

Matthew 25:1 . Ten virgins took their lamps to meet the bridegroom. Homer names the like custom among the Greeks, of the bridegroom being preseded by virgins bearing lighted torches. The virgins represent the visible church, which make a profession of the faith, that Christ the bridegroom will come from heaven. Matthew 25:2 . Five of them were wise, and five were foolish. This idea represents half the christian world as shut out of heaven for want of grace. Matthew 25:4 . The wise... read more
