Commentary on Matthew 24:12

Theological / Devotional

Iniquity shall abound. Christ’s forecast met its first fulfillment in the decades prior to the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 (DA 633; cf. 36, 37). The prophecy will again be fulfilled in the last days (2 Tim. 3:1-5; cf. 5T 136, 741).

Love. For a description of this Christian grace see 1 Cor. 13; see on Matt. 5:43, 44.

For the fulfillment of this prediction in so far as it applies to the Christian church see on Rev. 2:4. Many would find it easier to go along with the world than to remain loyal and steadfast.
