Matthew 24 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Christ foretells the destruction of the temple.

Christ foretells the utter ruin and destruction coming upon the temple. A believing foresight of the defacing of all worldly glory, will help to keep us from admiring it, and overvaluing it. The most beautiful body soon will be food for worms, and the most magnificent building a ruinous heap. See ye not all these things? It will do us good so to see them as to see through them, and see to the end of them. Our Lord having gone with his disciples to the Mount of Olives, he set before

them the order of the times concerning the Jews, till the destruction of Jerusalem; and as to men in general till the end of the world. (Mt 24:4-28)
