Matthew 24:6 - People's Commentary (NT)

Matthew 24:6

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: ^a“Take heed that no one deceives you.

5 For ^amany will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ ^band will deceive many.

6 And you will hear of ^awars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for¹ all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For ^anation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be ^bfamines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 ^a“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

11 Then ^amany false prophets will rise up and ^bdeceive many.

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow ^acold.

13 ^aBut he who endures to the end shall be saved.

14 And this ^agospel of the kingdom ^bwill be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Matthew 24:6

Matthew 24:6 Ye shall hear of wars. The Jewish war began in AD 66, and ended five years after. During this period all the Roman empire was filled with commotion. Nero, the emperor, was overthrown by Galba; six months after, Galba was overthrown by Otho; a few months after, Otho was overthrown by Vitelius; a little later, he was overthrown by Vespasian. All of these but the last, who ascended the throne shortly before Jerusalem was destroyed, died violent deaths.
