The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 24:42-51

Chapter 84 Prayer Almighty God, thou art always coming: behold Jesus Christ is born amongst us every day, every night the shepherds sing and hear the song of the angels, and are filled with great joy because the delivering life has come into the world. May Christ be born in us the hope of glory, and may he come to us with the light of every morning, and shine upon us all the night long through every star. Enable us always to hear the footfall of thy coming, that we may always watch and be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 24:37-51

"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (40) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (41) Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:42-51

42-51 To watch for Christ's coming, is to maintain that temper of mind which we would be willing that our Lord should find us in. We know we have but a little time to live, we cannot know that we have a long time to live; much less do we know the time fixed for the judgment. Our Lord's coming will be happy to those that shall be found ready, but very dreadful to those that are not. If a man, professing to be the servant of Christ, be an unbeliever, covetous, ambitious, or a lover of pleasure,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 24:1-99

Matthew 24 ALL THAT WE have been reading, from Mat_21:23 , had taken place in the temple precincts. Now, Mat_24:1 , Jesus departed, and the disciples desired to call His attention to some of its splendid buildings, only to draw from Him the prediction that it was to be razed to its foundations. This started their enquiries as to the time of the fulfilment of His saying, which they connected with the end of the age. The first words of His reply show that His predictions are to forewarn and... read more

The unfaithful servant: v. 48.

The opposite side of the picture:... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 24:42-51

Matthew WATCHING FOR THE KING Mat_24:42 - Mat_24:51 . The long day’s work was nearly done. Christ had left the temple, never to return. He took His way across the Mount of Olives to Bethany, and was stayed by the disciples’ question as to the date of the destruction of the temple, which He had foretold, and of the ‘end of the world,’ which they attached to it. They could not fancy the world lasting without the temple! We often make a like mistake. So there, on the hillside, looking across... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 24:40-51

Watch and Work Matthew 24:40-51 There are many comings of the Son of man before the final one to judgment. We may derive the full benefit of our Lord’s words, even though we have arrived at no settled opinion as to the precise order of future events. The hour of our death is as uncertain as that of His coming in the clouds. For each, we should be ready! Watchfulness is keeping awake! We are beset by temptations to sleep. Bunyan said that we are traveling over the Enchanted Ground, the air of... read more
