Matthew 24:4

Verse 4

I. OUR LORD WARNS THEM NOT TO CONFOUND JERUSALEM’S DESTRUCTION WITH THE END OF THE WORLD, Matthew 24:4-6.

4. Take heed that no man deceive you The disciples no doubt believed that the time when Jerusalem would be destroyed would be the end of the world. That they had some doubt of this, appears from the fact that they embraced the two events in two separate questions. Our Lord’s first care was, to set them right, in this paragraph, upon that point. He therefore warns them, that no future false Christ should tempt them to believe that his second advent had arrived; and that no commotion should induce them to fear that the end of the world was nigh.
