Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:10-13

Matthew 24:10-13. Then shall many be offended That is, shall stumble and fall, or shall be turned out of the right way. By reason of persecution, many apostatized from the faith, particularly those mentioned by Paul, 2 Timothy 1:15; and 2 Timothy 4:10. And shall betray one another To illustrate this, it is sufficient to cite one sentence out of Tacitus. Speaking of the persecution under Nero, he says, “At first several were seized, who confessed, and then by their discovery a great... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-31

131. The coming crisis (Matthew 24:1-31; Mark 13:1-27; Luke 21:5-28)Through his parables and other teachings, Jesus had spoken a number of times of his going away and his return in glory, which would bring in the climax of the age, the triumph of his kingdom and final judgment. His disciples apparently connected these events with the predicted destruction of Jerusalem. Therefore, when Jesus spoke of the destruction of the temple, his disciples immediately connected this with the return of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:11

Matthew 24:11. Many false prophets shall rise— Such particularly were Simon Magus, and his very numerous followers, the Gnostics. Such also were the Judaizing teachers, mentioned 2 Corinthians 11:13. Such also were Hymeneus and Philetus, of whom the apostle, 2Ti 2:17 complains, that they affirmed the resurrection to be past already, and overthrew the faith of some. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 24:9-13

In the context all the things described in these verses will happen during the period of "birth pains," namely, during the Tribulation. However what follows seems to locate these events in the last half of the Tribulation. During the "birth pains" the disciples would experience persecution and martyrdom. The "you" extends beyond Jesus’ immediate disciples and includes disciples living in the future when these things will happen. Jesus was again speaking beyond His immediate audience.The word... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:11

(11) Many false prophets shall rise.—The later writings of the New Testament bear repeated testimony to this feature of the ten years that preceded the destruction of Jerusalem. St. John speaks of false prophets (1 John 4:1), and many antichrists (1 John 2:18); St. Peter of “false teachers” (2 Peter 2:1), like the false prophets of old; St. Paul of men who should give heed to seducing spirits (1 Timothy 4:1). These show the extent of the evil which was the natural outcome of the feverish... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 24:1-51

The Intrusion of the World Matthew 24:12 No doubt this referred originally to the great crash of the fall of Jerusalem. But one cannot help seeing that the whole prophecy describes rather the constantly recurring features of all epochs of great change affecting the kingdom of heaven than the details of special circumstances attaching to some one event. I. Observe that it is more inside the Church that iniquity is said to abound. There may be a fair amount of morality and obedience in the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

Chapter 18The Prophecy on the Mount - Matthew 24:1-51 & Matthew 25:1-46WE have seen that though the Saviour’s public ministry is now closed, He still has a private ministry to discharge-a ministry of counsel and comfort to His beloved disciples, whom He soon must leave in a world where tribulation awaits them on every side. Of this private ministry the chief remains are the beautiful words of consolation left on record by St. John (13-17), and the valuable words of prophetic warning... read more
