Commentary on Luke 17:23

Theological / Devotional

See here. See on Matt. 24:23, 26. At His second coming Jesus’ appearance will not be localized.

Go not after them. Many false messiahs had arisen and more were yet to appear. Perhaps Theudas, whom 400 men followed at one time, and Judas of Galilee, who “drew away much people after him,” may be numbered among the false messiahs (see Acts 5:36, 37). The desert was frequently the congregating place of these political enthusiasts. In the intense longing of the disciples for the return of their Master, they were not to be deceived into thinking that any such upstart, military messiah might be the Christ.
