Matthew 24
1 Christ foretells the destruction of the temple;
3 what and how great calamities shall be before it;
29 the signs of his coming to judgment.
36 And because that day and hour are unknown,
42 we ought to watch like good servants, expecting every moment our Master's coming.

Josephus says that "C‘sar gave orders that they should now demolish the whole city and temple, except the three towers Phaselus, Hippicus, and Mariamne, and a part of the western wall; but all the rest was laid so completely even with the ground, by those who dug it up from the foundation, that there was nothing left to make those who came thither believe that it had ever been inhabited."

Our Lord not only foretells the appearance of these impostors, but also the manner and circumstance of their conduct. Accordingly, Josephus says that many impostors persuaded the people to follow them to the desert, promising them signs and wonders done by the providence of God. (See also Ac 21:38). One persuaded the people to go up into the temple, which being set on fire by the Romans, 6,000 perished in the flames.

The [mulon <\\See definition 3459\\>] was a hand-mill composed of two stones; "the uppermost of which is turned round by a small handle of wood or iron that is placed in the rim. When this stone is large, or expedition required, a second person is called to assist; and as it is usual for women alone to be concerned in this employment, who seat themselves over against each other with the millstone between then, we may see not only the propriety of the expression, Ex 11:5," but the force of this.--Dr. Shaw.
