Matthew 24:51

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 24:36-51

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Matthew 24:36-51The uncertainty of the end.—We ought to know the season, we cannot know the moment, of the “appearing” of Christ. So the Saviour teaches us here. “Of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the Son Himself,” in a sense (Matthew 24:36). How will the appearing of Christ, in consequence, come on the world? How should the thought of it, meanwhile, tell on the church?I. How it will come on the world.—It will come on it, first, while men, as a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

Chapter 24Now Jesus went out ( Matthew 24:1 ),Left the house desolate. He is rejected now. They've rejected Him, now He has rejected them. Leave the house desolate; you're not going to see me again until you are saying, "blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord."And so they are not going to see Him, until He comes, until He comes again.So as Jesus was going out,and departing from the temple: his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple ( Matthew 24:1 ).They were... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:1-51

Matthew 24:1 . The buildings of the temple. Herod had gradually rebuilt the temple, taking down one part, and raising it anew, so that the worship was not interrupted. Hence it was still the second temple renovated; the vessels, the priests, and even all the stones fit for use were still employed. After consulting a body of sacred critics on this subject, I find Dr. Lightfoot bears the palm. He does not detail lexicons, but being himself a rabbin of the first class, he everywhere... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Matthew 24:51

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.And allot him his portion with the hypocrites — The worst of sinners, as upright and sincere as he was once. If ministers are the persons here primarily intended, there is a peculiar propriety in the expression. For no hypocrisy can be baser, than to call ourselves ministers of Christ, while we are the slaves of avarice, ambition, or sensuality. Wherever such are found, may... read more

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

42-51. As the image of the flood illustrates the suddenness of the second coming to the careless world, so the image of the householder and the waiting servant illustrates its suddenness to the careless individual. Dr. Owen remarks that “here is an easy transition from the destruction of Jerusalem to the judgment day.” It would certainly puzzle any commentator to do, what he does not attempt, namely, show that the coming of the Lord in Matthew 24:42 was not the same as in Matthew... read more
