Context of Matthew 24:4
2And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these things? verily I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Commentaries on Matthew 24:4

- 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
