The abomination of desolation: v. 15. When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the Holy Place, (whoso readeth, let him understand,) v. 16. then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains; v. 17. let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house; v. 18. neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. This is true above all of the time of Jerusalem's fall. The... read more

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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 24:15-28

So urgent would be their need of flight that the outside steps of the houses must be used. None might try to save his property. Ever, the winter’s cold must be faced, if life were to be saved; and the flight must be farther than could be covered on a Sabbath day, that is, according to Jewish law, less... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 24:29-39

Words That Must Be Fulfilled Matthew 24:29-39 The preceding portion of this prophecy is by all interpreters applied to the destruction of Jerusalem. But on the portion that follows there is a considerable division of opinion. Perhaps it is wisest, between Matthew 24:28-29 , to interpolate the Christian centuries during which the gospel is being preached to the Gentiles, according to Romans 11:25 , (but that whole chapter should be considered). Just as one who looks across a mountainous... read more
