The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 24:32-42

The event and the time. Having unfolded to the disciples the manner and circumstances of the two great events respecting which they had inquired, our Lord now proceeds to speak more particularly of their certainty and of the time of their occurrence. I. THE EVENT OF THE JUDGMENT IS CERTAIN . 1 . This is asserted under a simile. ( Matthew 24:32-35 .) 2 . The assertion is repeated in the comment. II. THE TIME OF THAT EVENT IS NOT WHOLLY ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 24:36

The apostles had asked ( Matthew 24:3 ), "When shall these things be?" Christ does not now expressly answer this question; he puts forth strongly the uncertainty in the knowledge of these great events, and how this ignorance is disciplinary. Of that day ( de die illa, Vulgate) and hour, viz. when Christ shall appear in judgment, The expression plainly, implies that a definite day and moment are fixed for this great appearing, but known only to God. Knoweth no man , no, not ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 24:37

As the days of Noe were. In citing this example, the Lord has special reference to the fact that the warning then given was not heeded ( Genesis 6:3 ). If, as seems probable, the antediluvians had more than a century's warning of the coming flood, it can hardly be only the suddenness of the calamity to which Christ would point ( 1 Peter 3:20 ). He has used the illustration elsewhere ( Luke 17:26 , Luke 17:27 ), where also the destruction of Sodom is adduced as a type of the last day.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 24:36

But of that day and hour - Of the precise time of the fulfillment. The “general signs” of its approach have been given, as the budding of the fig-tree is a certain indication that summer is near; but “the precise time” is not indicated by these things. One part of their inquiry was Matthew 24:3 when those things should be. He now replies to them by saying that the precise time would not be foretold. Compare the notes at Acts 1:7.Knoweth no man, no, not the angels - See the notes at Mark 13:32. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 24:37

Noe - The Greek way of writing “Noah.” See Gen. 6–9. The coming of the Son of man would be as it was in the days of Noah:In its being sudden and unexpected, the “precise time” not being made known, though the “general” indications had been given. The world would be found as it was then. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:36

Matthew 24:36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, &c. I consider ωρα , hour, here, says Grotius, as denoting, not a part of a day, but a larger portion of time. So also Bishop Newton, who observes, “It would seem improper to say, Of that day and hour knoweth no man; for if the day was not known, certainly the hour was not, and it was superfluous to make such an addition. I conceive, therefore, that the passage should be rendered, Of that day and season knoweth no man, as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:37-41

Matthew 24:37-41. But as the days of Noe were, &c. As then they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till they were surprised by the flood, notwithstanding the frequent warnings and admonitions of that preacher of righteousness: so now, they shall be engaged in the business and pleasures of the world, little expecting, little thinking of this universal ruin, till it come upon them, notwithstanding the express predictions and declarations of Christ and his apostles.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:32-51

132. A warning to be alert always (Matthew 24:32-51; Mark 13:28-37; Luke 21:29-38)Just as the first leaves on a fig tree indicate that summer is coming, so when the disciples see the false messiahs, the persecution and the approach of the Roman armies, they will know that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish nation is upon them. People of Jesus’ day would see the fulfilment of these things in their own lifetime (Matthew 24:32-35; Luke 21:29-33).As for the day when the Son of man will... read more
