James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 24:34-35

ABIDING WORDS‘Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.’ Matthew 24:34-Habakkuk : We know how truly all the things mentioned in the earlier part of this chapter were fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem before the passing of that generation. But our thoughts are to be centred upon Christ’s words. We know how true it is literally that Christ’s words are not passing away. I.... 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 24:32-36

They Must Take Note Of The Signs But The Date Of His Coming Is Unknown (24:32-36). Jesus now makes clear to them the purpose of what He has been saying. The coming events that He has been describing which will lead up to His coming will be like the leaves on a fig tree which proclaim that the summer and the fruit is coming. They will point to the fact that ‘He is near, even at the doors’. Thus they will be able to continue forward through all that comes, confident in His nearness, and knowing... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:33

“Even so you also, when you see all these things, know you that he is near, even at the doors.” In the same way when ‘all these things’ occur, then they will know that Jesus (or in Luke ‘the Kingly Rule of God’) is near, even at the doors. From this it is clear that ‘all these things’ does not include His coming. But as constantly in the Old Testament ‘near’ is in God’s terms. It can indicate any time long or short, depending on the response to His promises and warnings (Isaiah 51:5; Isaiah... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:34

“Truly I say to you, This generation will not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.” But so that they will not begin to think that this means that they do not need to consider what He has been talking about because it is likely to be delayed, He assures them that ‘all these things’, all the things that must happen prior to His return as outlined, will happen within that generation. But He immediately points out that as He does not know when the time of His coming will be, He cannot... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:35

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” And all that He has said is more certain and sure than the continuation of Heaven and earth. We learn here Jesus’ awareness both that Heaven and earth will one day pass away, and that His own words have a permanence that reaches into eternity. From this again we recognise the uniqueness of Jesus. Not even the prophets had dared to make a claim like this. But He then immediately goes on to point out that while He is here on... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:36

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” For of the time of His coming no one knows apart from the Father. It is not even known to the angels in Heaven, or to the Son. Once again He stresses His uniqueness as the only Son, even though while on earth His knowledge is limited in accordance with the purposes of the Godhead. ‘Of that day and hour.’ In other words whatever time it might be, whether long or short. Note how this connects... read more

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

“And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.” Jesus now compares the days of Noah with the coming of the Son of Man. Both were in anticipation of judgment, and both judgments would come suddenly and unexpectedly. 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. Analysis. a “And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man” (Matthew 24:37). b “For as in those days which were before the flood... read more

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
