| Geneva Study Bible And the gospel must first be published among all nations. Wesley's Notes 13:10 Mt 24:14. Scofield Reference Notes Margin And Cf. Mt 24:14 "Gospel of the Kingdom:" See note, Rev 14:6 See Scofield Note: "Rev 14:6". Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 10. And the gospel must first be published among all nations-"for a witness, and then shall the end come" (Mt 24:14). God never sends judgment without previous warning; and there can be no doubt that the Jews, already dispersed over most known countries, had nearly all heard the Gospel "as a witness," before the end of the Jewish state. The same principle was repeated and will repeat itself to "the end." Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 13:5-13 Our Lord Jesus, in reply to the disciples' question, does not so much satisfy their curiosity as direct their consciences. When many are deceived, we should thereby be awakened to look to ourselves. And the disciples of Christ, if it be not their own fault, may enjoy holy security and peace of mind, when all around is in disorder. But they must take heed that they are not drawn away from Christ and their duty to him, by the sufferings they will meet with for his sake. They shall be hated of all men: trouble enough! Yet the work they were called to should be carried on and prosper. Though they may be crushed and borne down, the gospel cannot be. The salvation promised is more than deliverance from evil, it is everlasting blessedness. |
