As he sat on the mount of Olives - Whence they had a full view of the temple. When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? - The disciples inquire confusedly, Concerning the time of the destruction of the temple; Concerning the signs of Christ's coming, and of the end of the world, as if they imagined these two were the same thing. Our Lord answers distinctly concerning, The destruction of the temple and city, with the signs preceding, Mat 24:4, &c, Mat 24:15, &c. His own coming, and the end of the world, with the signs thereof, Mat 24:29-31. The time of the destruction of the temple, Mat 24:32, &c.. The time of the end of the world, Mat 24:36. Matthew 24:4
