[1] {till}
The three "untils" of Israel's blessing: (1) Israel must say,
"blessed is He"
# Mt 23:39 Ro 10:3,4
(2) Gentile world-power must run its course.
# Lu 21:24 Da 2:34,35
(3) The elect number of Gentiles must be brought in. Then "the
Deliverer shall come out of Zion." etc.
# Ro 11:25-27

[1] {Tell us} \\The beginning of the Olivet Discourse\\
Mat 24 with Lu 21.20-24 answers the threefold question. The order is
as follows: "when shall these things be?"--i.e. destruction of the
temple and city. Answer:
# Lu 21:20-24
Second and third questions: "And what shall be the sign
of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" Answer:
# Mt 24:4-33
Verses 4 to 14 have a double interpretation: They give (1) the
character of the age--wars, international conflicts, famines,
pestilences, persecutions, and false Christs (cf)
# Da 9:26
This is not the description of a converted world. (2) But the same
answer (vs 4-14) applies in a specific way to the end of the age,
viz. Daniel's seventieth week.
» See Note "Da 9:24"
All that has characterized the age gathers into awful intensity at
the end. Verse 14 has specific reference to the proclamation of the
good news that the kingdom is again "at hand" by the Jewish remnant
# Isa 1:9 Re 14:6,7
» See Note "Ro 11:5"
Verse 15 gives the sign of the abomination,
» See Note "Da 9:27"
"the "man of sin," or "Beast"
# 2Th 2:3-8 Da 9:27 12:11 Re 13:4-7
This introduces the great tribulation
# Ps 2:5
» See Note "Re 7:14"
which runs its awful course of three and a half years, culminating in
the battle of
» See Note "Re 19:19"
at which time Christ becomes the smiting Stone of
# Da 2:34
The detail of this period (vs 15-28) is:
(1) The abomination in the holy place (v. 15); (2) the warning (vs
16-20) to believing Jews who will then be in Jerusalem; (3) the great
tribulation, with renewed warning as to false Christs (vs 21-26); (4)
the sudden smiting of the Gentile world-power (vs 27,28); (5) the
glorious appearing of the Lord, visible to all nations, and the
regathering of Israel (vs 29-31); (6) the sign of the fig-tree (vs
32,33); (7) warnings, applicable to this present age over which these
events are ever impending (vs 34-51 Phil 4.5). Careful study of Da
2, 7, 9, and Re 13 will make the interpretation clear. See, also,
"Remnant" (Is 1.9 Ro 11.5)
# Isa 1:9 Ro 11:5

[1] {Then let them which}
Cf.
# Lu 21:20-24
The passage in Luke refers in express terms to a destruction of
Jerusalem which was fulfilled by Titus, A.D. 70; the passage in
Matthew to a future crisis in Jerusalem after the manifestation of
the abomination. See "Beast"
# Da 7:8 Re 19:20
and "Armageddon"
# Re 16:14 19:17
As the circumstances in both cases will be similar, so are the warnings.
In the former case Jerusalem was destroyed; in the latter it will be
delivered by divine interposition.

[1] {This generation}
Gr. genea, the primary definition of which is, "race, kind, family,
stock, breed." (So all lexicons.) That the word is used in this sense
because none of "these things," i.e. the world-wide preaching of the
kingdom, the great tribulation, the return of the Lord in visible glory,
and the regathering of the elect, occurred at the destruction of
Jerusalem by Titus, A.D. 70. The promise is, therefore, that the
generation--nation, or family of Israel--will be preserved unto "these
things"; a promise wonderfully fulfilled to this day.
