Matthew 24:25 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:25

Behold, I have told you before.
] Meaning not before in this discourse, though he had in ( Matthew 24:5 Matthew 24:11 ) signified also, that false Christs, and false prophets should arise, but before these things came to pass; so that they had sufficient notice and warning of them, and would be inexcusable if they were not upon their guard against them; and which, when they came to pass, would furnish out a considerable argument in proof of him, as the true Messiah, against all these false ones, showing him to be omniscient; and so would serve to establish their faith in him, and be a means of securing them from such deceivers.

Matthew 24:25 In-Context

23 Then if any man says to you, See, here is the Christ, or, Here; do not put faith in him;

24 For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

25 See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.

26 If, then, they say to you, See, he is in the waste land; go not out: See, he is in the inner rooms; put no faith in it.

27 Because as in a thunderstorm the bright light coming from the east is seen even in the west; so will be the coming of the Son of man.
