Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 24:16

Then let them which Cf. Luke 21:20-24. The passage in Luke refers in express terms to a destruction of Jerusalem which was fulfilled by Titus, A.D. 70; the passage in Matthew to a future crisis in Jerusalem after the manifestation of the abomination. See "Beast" ; Daniel 7:8; Revelation 19:20 and "Armageddon" ; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 19:17. As the circumstances in both cases will be similar, so are the warnings. In the former case Jerusalem was destroyed; in the latter it will be... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

Chapter 24Now Jesus went out ( Matthew 24:1 ),Left the house desolate. He is rejected now. They've rejected Him, now He has rejected them. Leave the house desolate; you're not going to see me again until you are saying, "blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord."And so they are not going to see Him, until He comes, until He comes again.So as Jesus was going out,and departing from the temple: his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple ( Matthew 24:1 ).They were... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:1-51

Matthew 24:1 . The buildings of the temple. Herod had gradually rebuilt the temple, taking down one part, and raising it anew, so that the worship was not interrupted. Hence it was still the second temple renovated; the vessels, the priests, and even all the stones fit for use were still employed. After consulting a body of sacred critics on this subject, I find Dr. Lightfoot bears the palm. He does not detail lexicons, but being himself a rabbin of the first class, he everywhere... read more

Matthew 24:12The love of many shall wax cold. The love of the saints destroyed by the abounding of iniquityI. When iniquity be said to abound.1. When those who are set for the defence of the gospel can see its doctrines corrupted without emotion.2. When those who live in total disregard of practical religion increase.3.

Matthew 24:14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness. The gospel of the kingdomI. “gospel”-good news, God spell-the information God has to tell us. An epitome of the news. Familiarity with the message takes aways its edge, and blunts its impressions.II. It is not merely a gospel, good news, but a gospel of something very specific-of a kingdom. This kingdom is composed first of moral and next of personal elements-“The kingdom of God is not,” etc. Who are... read more

Matthew 24:15-19When ye therefore shall the abomination of desolation. The great judgmentThe prophecy was by no means exhausted by what happened to Jerusalem. Though it begins there, it does not stop there. History repeats itself.1. Were the last days of Jerusalem calamitous days, times of great tribulation, violence, and war-so will it be at the ending period of the present world.2. Jerusalem’s day of judgment come on in a seemingly natural course of things-so also will it be at the coming of... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 24:20

Matthew 24:20Not in the winter. Winter and how to meet itThe winter season is especially full of temptation, because of the long evenings allowing such full swing for evil indulgences. You can hardly expect a young man to go into his room and sit there from seven to eleven o’clock in the evening, reading Morley’s “Dutch Republic” or John Foster’s Essays. It would be a very beautiful thing for him to do, but he will not do it. Then the winter has especial temptations in the fact that many homes... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 24:9

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. Ver. 9. And shall kill you ] Besides the butchcries at Jerusalem, that slaughter house of the saints, Nero orientem fidem primus Romae cruentacit, " Nero was the first Roman persecutor," saith Tertullian, who therefore calleth him Dedicator damnationis Christianorum, the dedicater of the condemnation of Christians.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 24:10

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Ver. 10. And then shall many be offended ] As not willing to suffer. How many revolted for fear in the primitive times, were abjured here in Queen Mary’s reign, fell to Popery in the Palatinate, and other places in Germany, since the troubles there, as fast as leaves fall in autumn! Somewhat men will do for Christ, but suffer nothing. read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 24:11

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Ver. 11. And shall deceive many ] Witness the Eastern and Western Antichrist, those deceitful workers, that have drawn millions of souls into hell by their grand impostures. The world went wondering after those two beasts, which, as the panther, hid their horrid heads, that they might take men with their flesh pleasing superstitions. And (as the serpent scytale) when they cannot otherwise overtake the flying passenger, they so... read more
