Matthew 24 SERIES: vs. 1

"We are very confident that Matthew 24 reaches to matters 

---beyond the destruction of Jerusalem, 

---and into time yet future; 

---and that it refers to a literal, personal, visible coming again of our glorified Savior. 

But the instruction which it contains was not given to prove this truth

—that His coming will be personal or literal. 

This, now, has become the chief point of controversy on the chapter, whereas it is not made a point at all in the chapter. 

To this we shall call further attention hereafter. 

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple; and His disciples came to Him for to show Him the buildings of the temple. 

Jesus had been addressing the multitude, in the presence of His disciples. He had reproved the scribes and Pharisees for their sins, and had declared the doom of the Jews, their city, and their temple. The disciples supposed that the temple would stand forever."
