Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:1-40

Matthew 24 f. The Eschatological Discourse, and the Parables of Parousia (Mark 13*, Luke 21:5-Zephaniah : *, Luke 17:23-Haggai :).— Mt. follows Mk. fairly closely, but appends other eschatological sayings and illustrative parables (ch. 25). The discourse arises out of a prediction of the destruction of the Temple, and is spoken in Mt. not to four disciples but to the Twelve, who ask for “ the sign of Thy coming ( i.e. as Messiah, parousia) , and of the end of the world (or age).” Jesus... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:11-12

Here are two signs more given: 1. The abounding of false teachers. 2. The abatements of Christians’ zeal, and love to God. For the matter of Matthew 24:11, See Poole on "Matthew 24:23" and See Poole on "Matthew 24:24", where we shall meet with it more fully. By the aboundings of iniquity here, we may either understand the rage, and malice, and cruelty of the enemies of the gospel; or the apostasy of such as are professors. Both these are great temptations, and though they will not extinguish... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:13

We have the same Mark 13:13. We also met with it before, Matthew 10:22. It is a promise to perseverance, especially to such perseverance as is joined with fortitude. He that shall not be tempted to apostasy through the afflictions of the gospel, but shall patiently and courageously endure all the sufferings which shall follow the profession of the gospel, shall be saved; if not preserved, and so saved with a temporal salvation, yet he shall be eternally saved. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 24:1-14

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 24:1. To show Him the buildings of the temple.—Was that glorious house indeed to be left “desolate”? Would not the sight of its glories lead Him to recall those words of evil omen?Matthew 24:2. See ye not all these things?—The expression, “all these things,” does not refer definitely to the buildings of the temple. It refers to these buildings only in so far as they were contingently connected with a more generic class of things, the things of dread significance to which... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:13

Matthew 24:13 Final Perseverance not Inevitable. When our Lord says that none can pluck from the Father's hand those who are His, He does not say that they who are His may not themselves break or fall away from Him. What else is the meaning of that terrible question: "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" When St. Paul says that God's gifts are without repentance on God's part, he does not add that they cannot be rejected by man, since this had already been the case, with... read more

DISCOURSE: 1395CAUTION AGAINST DECLENSION IN RELIGIONMatthew 24:12-13. Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.THESE words are a part of the discourse which our Lord held with four of his disciples in private, after he had retired from the Temple to the Mount of Olives [Note: Compare Mark 13:1-4. with Matthew 24:1-2.]. Being in full view of the Temple, his disciples were struck with the magnificence of its... 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. When all classes give each other countenance in crime, and provoke each other to it by example, by solicitation, and by menaces (Genesis 6:5-7; Genesis 19:12-13).II. The... read more
