Revision as of 11:03, 15 December 2023


Matthew was inspired to explain the kingdom of God to the Jews and the Parthians so that they might repent of the ways of error[1] which were spots in their religion.[2] They needed to repent of systems of social welfare of the cities of blood and seek the way of His righteousness.
'Comments
V1 Jesus understood the purpose of the altars of clay and stone, the tabernacle, the Church in the wilderness, He understood why the system of Corban of Herod athe Pharisees was making the word of God to none effect.
V2 "shall not be left here one stone(lithos)[3] upon stone(lithon)[3] , that shall not be thrown down.(katalythēsetai)[4]
The Greek term katalythēsetai is seen in Luke 21 where some thought that their dead stone temple was made of "with goodly stones". And Theudas, mentioned in Gamaliel’s speech before the Jewish council, Acts 5:35-39[5] the word is translated Acts 5:38 "it will come to nought:"

Jesus understood the temple of God is made without hands[6] out of living stone. Those stones of the altars were to be unhewn which meant neither the other stones exercise authority one over the other.[7]

V3 When shall the "end[8] of the world<age>" be completed?
V4,5 He warns of a great danger of being deceived.[9] 
V6 the end (telos)[10] is not yet. is not the same as the word end we see in V3 "end" (synteleias)[8]
V7 is about nation and kingdoms against against each other but also famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.which did take place and will take place again.
V8 ōdinōn[11] is specifically "birth pains" but can be considered a reference to the dire calamities depending on your point of view.
V9 The term "deliver" is paradidomi[12] and can mean "to give over into (one’s) power or use" or "to deliver up one to custody, to be judged." To be afflicted[13] which most often is translated tribulation but as a metaphor means "oppression, affliction, tribulation, or distress..." and paradidomi[12] can mean "to deliver to one something to keep, use, take care of, manage" this could been you are not going to get any more benefits but have to care for yourself like the Pharaoh did in Egypt where we saw the birth of a nation. This cutting of large numbers of people from the dainties of the tables of the rulers of the State could kill many people or at least cause their death but if they had been seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness they would be better prepared and God would be there for them.
V10 Socialists typically hate those who do not follow their covetous way and are easily offended.
V11 And there are many false prophets who say it is okay to covet what is your neighbors to get benefits from men who exercise authority[7] which is biting one another[14]. They tell you that is okay to pray to the Benefactors of the world and the Fathers of the earth and their Modern Churches no longer have a daily ministration of Pure Religion that rightly divides the daily bread from house to house. These blind guides[15] want your tithe but if you need anything they send their people to the tables[16] of the Welfare State.
V12 the term iniquity is from the Greek word anomia[17] 
meaning "no law" or lawlessness or even unrighteous. The Greek term polus  πολλῶν [18]  – many (high in number); multitudinous, plenteous, [https://biblehub.com/greek/pollo_n_4183.htm appearing dozens of times. Such a polis can become one of the cities of blood warned about in the Bible id we follow the political policies of Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, and the Pharisees or FDR, LBJ, and others.
This lawlessness is acerbated by the false doctrine that the law of God explained in the Ten Commandments has been done away with when Paul was only talking about the handwritten ordinances. And of course the flagrant abuse and pervasiveness of their covetous practices where they bite one another until the whole world is devoured through the Corban type Social welfare systems of the State that depend upon legal charity.
V15 Ellicott's Commentary "The abomination of desolation.—The words, as they stand in Daniel 12:11,[19] seem to refer to the desecration of the sanctuary by the mad attempt of Antiochus Epiphanes to stop the “[[daily ministration|daily sacrifice,” and to substitute an idolatrous[20]  worship in its place (2 Maccabees 6:1-9)."
Questions


Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

[1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

[2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone[3] upon another[3] , that shall not be thrown down.(katalythēsetai)[4]

Signs of the End of the Age

[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end[8] of the world<age>?

[4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.[9] 

[5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (anointed); and shall deceive many.[9] 

Be not troubled

[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled[21]: for all these things must come to pass, but the end[10] is not yet.

Kingdm against kingdom

[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

[8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.[11]

Afflictions

[9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted[13], and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

[10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

[14] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world<oikoumenē> for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end[10] come.

The Abomination of Desolation

[15] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,[20]  spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

[16] Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

[17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

[18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

[20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

[22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

[23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

[24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

[25] Behold, I have told you before.

[26] Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

[27] For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[28] For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

The Coming of the Son of Man

[29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

[31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree

[32] Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

[33] So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

[35] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.


No One Knows That Day and Hour

[36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

[37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

[41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

[42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

[43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

[44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

[45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

[46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

[47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

[48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

[49] And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

[50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

[51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

  1. ↑ The way of error
    2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
    Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
    Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."
    Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
  2. ↑ Spotted and unspotted
    1 Timothy 6:14 "That thou keep [this] commandment without spot <aspilos>, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
    James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted <aspilos> from the world.
    1 Peter 1:19 "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish <amomos> and without spot <aspilos>:"
    2 Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot <aspilos>, and blameless <amometos>. 15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation..."
    Hebrews 9:14 "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot <amomos> to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
    2 Peter 2:13 "And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots <spilos> [they are] and blemishes<momos>, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
    Jude 1:16 "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage... 21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted <spiloo> by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless <amomos> before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,"
