[64] Compare, on the import and connexion of this discourse, Fritzsche, in Matth., p. 695 ff; De Wette, exeg. Handb., 1, 1, s. 197 ff; Weizel, die unchristliche Unsterblichkeitslehre, in the theol. Studien und Kritiken, 1836, s. 599 ff.—In agreement with these commentators I append the following division of the passage in Matthew:
- I. Signs of the end, τέλος, [xxiv. 4–14].
- II. The end, τέλος, itself, [xxiv. 15–25], [46].
- a. Its commencement with the destruction of Jerusalem, and the great tribulation θλῖψις which accompanies it, [15–28].
- b. Its culminating point: the advent of the Messiah, together with the assembling of his elect, [29–31]. (Here follow retrospective observations and warnings, [xxiv. 32]-[xxv. 30].)
- c. Close of the τέλος with the messianic judgment, [31–46].
