Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 24:32-51

We have here the practical application of the foregoing prediction; in general, we must expect and prepare for the events here foretold. I. We must expect them; ?Now learn a parable of the fig-tree, Matt. 24:32, 33. Now learn what use to make of the things you have heard; so observe and understand the signs of the times, and compare them with the predictions of the word, as from thence to foresee what is at the door, that you may provide accordingly.? The parable of the fig-tree is no more... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:32

Now learn a parable of the fig tree ,.... Take a similitude, or comparison from the fig tree, which was a tree well known in Judea; and the putting forth of its branches, leaves, and fruit, fell under the observation of everyone: when its branch is yet tender ; through the influence of the sun, and the motion of the sap, which was bound up, and congealed in the winter season: and putteth forth leaves ; from the tender branches, which swell, and open, and put forth buds, leaves, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:33

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things ,.... That are mentioned above, relating to the signs of the destruction of the temple and city, and the destruction itself, with all those several things that should directly take place upon it; this is an accommodation of the above parable, similitude, or comparison: know that it is near, even at the doors ; meaning, either that "he is near", as the Ethiopic version reads it, the son of man is near, even at the doors; or as the Vulgate... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:34

Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass ,.... Not the generation of men in general; as if the sense was, that mankind should not cease, until the accomplishment of these things; nor the generation, or people of the Jews, who should continue to be a people, until all were fulfilled; nor the generation of Christians; as if the meaning was, that there should be always a set of Christians, or believers in Christ in the world, until all these events came to pass; but it respects... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth shall pass away ,.... This is either an assertion, which will be true at the end of time; not as to the substance of the heavens and earth, which will always remain, but as to the qualities of them, which will be altered: they will be renewed and refined, but not destroyed; the bad qualities, or evil circumstances, which attend them through the sin of man, will be removed and pass away, but they themselves will continue in being: or is a comparative expression, and the sense... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:36

But of that day and hour knoweth no man ,.... Which is to be understood, not of the second coming of Christ, the end of the world, and the last judgment; but of the coming of the son of man, to take vengeance on the Jews, and of their destruction; for the words manifestly regard the date of the several things going before, which only can be applied to that catastrophe, and dreadful desolation: now, though the destruction itself was spoken of by Moses and the prophets, was foretold by Christ,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:37

But as the days of Noe were ,.... So Noah is usually called Noe by the Septuagint: the sense is, as were the practices of the men of that generation, in which Noah lived, so will be the practices of the men of that age, in which the son of man comes; or as the flood, which happened in the days of Noah, was sudden and unexpected; it came upon men thoughtless about it, though they had warning of it; and was universal, swept them all away, excepting a few that were saved in the ark: so shall... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:38

For as in the days that were before the flood ,.... Not all the days before the flood, from the creation of the world; but those immediately preceding it, a century or two before it: they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage : not that these civil actions of life were criminal in themselves, had care been taken that they were not abused. It is lawful to eat and drink, provided it be in moderation, and not to excess; and to marry, and give in marriage, when the laws,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:39

And knew not until the flood came ,.... That is, they did not advert or give heed to what Noah said to them about it: they slighted and despised his warnings; they did not believe, that what he said of the flood was true; they had notice of it, but they would not know it, and therefore God gave them up to judicial blindness and hardness of heart; and so they remained, until it came upon them at once: and took them all away ; the whole world of the ungodly, every man, woman, and child,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:40

Then shall two be in the field ,.... About their proper business, of husbandry, ploughing, or sowing, or any other rural employment: the one shall be taken ; not by the preaching of the Gospel, into the kingdom of God, or Gospel dispensation; though such a distinction God makes, by the ministry of the word, accompanied by his Spirit and power; nor by angels, to meet Christ in the air, and to be introduced into his kingdom and glory; but by the eagles, the Roman army, and either killed or... read more
