Matthew 24:1
The Judgments on the Jewish Nation
SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 24: The Temple to Be Utterly Destroyed. The
Questions Asked on the Mount of Olives. Wars and Rumors of Wars
Predicted. False Prophets and Christs. The Sign for Flight from
Jerusalem. The Great Tribulation. How the Son of Man Shall Come.
The Sun Darkened. The Coming of the Son of Man. This Generation.
The Time of Christ's Coming Unknown. Injunction to Be Always in
Readiness.
And Jesus . . . departed from the temple. Immediately after the
discourse in which he pronounced the woes upon the scribes and
Pharisees, upon the temple and Jerusalem. This remarkable chapter is
not one upon which commentators are agreed, and the conclusions that I
have reached on the points of difference will not be found identical
with those of any other writer. I believe, however, that they will be
found harmonious with the Scripture. Compare Mark 13:1-37 Lu 21:5-36.
His disciples came to [him] to shew him the buildings of the temple.
He had just foreshadowed its destruction. With this in mind they point
out its splendor, especially the amazing stones used in its
construction. Compare Mark 13:1 Lu 21:5. The temple had been rebuilt
in great splendor by Herod, and was not fully completed until about
thirty years after the Savior's crucifixion.
