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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 24:13

HINDRANCES TO ENDURANCE‘But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.’ Matthew 24:13 What are the causes which make endurance to the end difficult in so very many Christian lives? I. Persecution because of the Word.—There is the ‘persecution that ariseth because of the word.’ In some shape or other this is inevitable. Men who have done much for Christ have sometimes given way at last under the stress of relentless persecution. II. False teaching.—And then there are the... 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 24:1-51

Words After Leaving The Temple About The Destruction Of The Temple And About His Second Coming (24:1-51). a Introduction in which Jesus declares that the Temple will be utterly destroyed (Matthew 24:1-2). b His disciples ask when it will happen, and when the end of the age/world will come (Matthew 24:3). c Jesus describes the troubles and catastrophes soon coming on the world, and the tribulation awaiting the disciples and their followers. This will be accompanied by the spreading of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:9-14

What Will Happen To His Followers And Those Who Oppose Them At This Time (24:9-14). But while these wars and disasters are going on, and on into the future, His followers will have their task to do. And in doing it His own followers must recognise that they must expect to suffer intensive persecution in one way or another, and that many false prophets will arise. The path to truth will not be easy. Furthermore they must not be deceived into thinking that the whole world will respond to them.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:10

“And then will many stumble (or ‘be entrapped’), and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.” Not all will go smoothly, even among His followers. The world will stumble on in its darkness, and some of those who profess to follow Him will also be ensnared by the world, and will stumble, and they will then act vindictively against their one time ‘brethren’, delivering them up to the authorities and being filled with hatred against them, following the patterns among the Jews... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:11

“And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.” Many false prophets and teachers will arise and will lead many astray. This would include so-called prophets among His followers, and many others as well. False teaching will abound (compare Matthew 7:15-20; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 John 2:18-19; Jude 1:4). And sadly through it many will be led astray. For being ‘led astray’ will be a feature of history, see Matthew 24:4-5; Matthew 24:11; Matthew 24:24. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:12

“And because lawlessness will be multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold.” Such will be the attitude of lawlessness that permeates the world and multiplies that it will even affect some among Jesus’ followers, so that the love of many will grow cold. They will have the form of godliness without its power. But such godly love is the essence of being a disciple (Matthew 5:42-48; John 13:34-35), and its fading will therefore be an indication of either backsliding or of lack of genuineness.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:13

“But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.” But those who would finally be saved must persevere. Endurance is required of His followers. This does not mean that all who grow cold are lost, for at times all, even the best, grow cold. It is those who remain cold because the work of the Spirit is not taking place within their hearts (Philippians 2:13; Ephesians 3:16-19) who will be lost. For in the end if a man belongs to Christ it is He Who will seek him until He finds him (Luke... read more
