Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 24:37-39

The parable of Noah’s days 24:37-39 (cf. Luke 17:26-27)This parable clarifies Matthew 24:36, as the introductory "for" (Gr. gar) indicates. The previous parable stressed the signs leading up to Jesus’ return, but this one stresses the responses to those signs and their consequences. Life will be progressing as usual when the King returns to judge. Similarly life was progressing as usual in Noah’s day just before God broke in on humankind with judgment (cf. 1 Peter 3:20-21). Despite upheavals... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 24:40-41

The parables of one taken and one left behind 24:40-41 (cf. Luke 17:34-35)Having explained the importance of the signs leading up to His return and the responses to those signs, Jesus next explained the respective consequences of the two responses.Many Christians who have read these verses have assumed that they describe believers taken to heaven at the Rapture and unbelievers left behind to enter the Tribulation. However the context is dealing with the second coming of Christ, not the Rapture.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 24:42

An exhortation to watchfulness 24:42 (cf. Mark 33-37; Luke 21:34-36)This verse applies all that Jesus said beginning in Matthew 24:32. Jesus’ disciples need to remain watchful because the exact time of the King’s return is unknown, even though signs of His coming will indicate His approach. read more

The Destruction of Jerusalem and the End of the World Foretold1. Jesus went out] RV ’Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way, and his disciples,’ etc.The buildings] The magnificent buildings, a mass of marble and gold, were not yet finished (see John 2:20). The rabbis said, ’He who has not seen the temple of Herod, has never seen a beautiful building. The sanctuary was made of green and white marble... Herod intended to have the building covered with gold, but the rabbis... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:32

(32) Now learn a parable of the fig tree.—As in so many other instances (comp. Notes on John 8:12; John 10:1), we may think of the words as illustrated by a living example. Both time and place make this probable. It was on the Mount of Olives, where then, as now, fig trees were found as well as olives (Matthew 21:19), and the season was that of early spring, when “the flowers appear on the earth” and the “fig tree putteth forth her green figs” (Song Song of Solomon 2:11-13). And what our Lord... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:33

(33) So likewise ye.—The pronoun is emphatic. Ye whom I have chosen, who are therefore among the elect that shall be thus gathered. The words are spoken to the four Apostles as the representatives of the whole body of believers who should be living—first, at the destruction of Jerusalem, and afterwards at the end of the world. Of the four, St. John alone, so far as we know, survived the destruction of Jerusalem.That it is near.—Better, that He is near, in accordance with James 5:9. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:34

(34) This generation shall not pass . . .—The natural meaning of the words is, beyond question. that which takes “generation” in the ordinary sense (as in Matthew 1:17, Acts 13:36, and elsewhere) for those who are living at any given period. So it was on “this generation” (Matthew 23:36) that the accumulated judgments were to fall. The desire to bring the words into more apparent harmony with history has led some interpreters to take “generation” in the sense of “race” or “people,” and so to... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:35

(35) Heaven and earth.—The tone is that of One who speaks with supreme authority, foreseeing, on the one hand, death and seeming failure, but on the other, the ultimate victory, not of truth only in the abstract, but of His own word as the truth. The parallelism of the words with those of Psalms 102:26, Isaiah 40:8, gives them their full significance. The Son of Man claims for His own words the eternity which belongs to the words of Jehovah. (Comp. 1 Peter 1:24-25.) The whole history of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:36

(36) No, not the angels of heaven.—St. Mark’s addition (Mark 13:32), “neither the Son”—or better, not even the Son—is every way remarkable. Assuming, what is well-nigh certain (see Introduction to St. Mark), the close connection of that Gospel with St. Peter, it is as if the Apostle who heard the discourse desired, for some special reason, to place on record the ipsissima verba of his Master. And that reason may be found in his own teaching. The over-eager expectations of some, and the... read more
