“Christ here foretels the going forth of deceivers; he begins with a caution, ‘Take heed that no man deceive you‘. They expected to be told when these things should be, to be let into that secret; but this caution is a check to their curiosity, ‘What is that to you? Mind you your duty, follow me, and be not seduced from following me’. Those that are most inquisitive concerning the secret things which belong not to them are most easily imposed upon by seducers [2 Thessalonians 2:3]. The disciples, when they heard that the Jews, their most inveterate enemies, should be destroyed, might be in danger of falling into security; ‘Nay’, saith Christ, ‘you are more exposed other ways’. Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors” (Henry’s Complete Commentary on the Bible; Matthew 24:15; Matthew Henry; 1714).
