Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our’s. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. You know the story how this beloved Son of the Highest was all...

What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? What punishment can be sufficient to expiate such a crime? What vengeance will be poured out upon those who have killed him who came to do them good?

He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And he did so; he scattered abroad the Jews, and gave the kingdom, for a while at least, unto the Gentiles, and they hear the gospel which the Jesus refused. Luk_20:16. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. That is exactly what you and I would say, for we,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: for all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but like of her penury hath cast in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? Those questions are always being asked, they are being asked at this very day about Christ’s second coming. They shall have no answer, for Christ himself assures us that, as the Son of man, he knew not the day nor...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. This passage refers, in the first place, to the siege of Jerusalem and in its second and yet fuller meaning, to the coming of the Lord. It looks to me that our Lord regarded the destruction...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Everywhere throughout the Scriptures there is this double message of our Lord, — “Watch, for I may come at any moment. Expect me to come, and to come soon; yet never be terrified as though the time were...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Someone says, perhaps, “All this we have had, times without number; yet Christ has not come.” Just so, for these signs...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. How true that has been many a time! For how long a period the saints were martyred! And the days of martyrdom are not yet over.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. During all the terrible siege of Jerusalem, it is believed that not one Christian perished, for God took special care of the followers of his Son. They were the most hated of all men, yet nobody could touch them. None of them took up arms, for it...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there shall be signs in the sun — As there were at the destruction of Jerusalem, and as there will be at the second coming of Christ. We have had a rehearsal of that coming in the destruction of the favored city; but the grand event itself, who shall rightly speak of it?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see — Whether they wish to see him or not, “then shall they...

The Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, — Please notice that “cares of this life” are put down with over-eating and over-drinking, for men can be intoxicated and surfeited with care, either...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And so that day come upon you unawares. All that you can see in this world, you are to regard as being doomed to destruction; that destruction commenced, so to speak, when Jerusalem fell beneath the Roman sword. Everything earthly is doomed. You are living, not in your eternal mansions but you are living a makeshift life; you are passing through a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
