Context of Matthew 24:4
2And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” 3As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. 5For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

Commentaries on Matthew 24:4

From this to Matthew 24:31, our Lord mentions the signs which should precede his coming. The First sign is false Christs.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Take heed - Jesus, in reply to their question, first gives them a caution to beware of deception.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4-8Jesus warned his disciples not to be tricked by false messiahs and not to lose hope when disasters come. These things do not mean the end has come right away. History must follow the course God has set. The signs in Matthew 24:4–8 are not the end themselves but events that come before the end.Read the comment
