This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Happened (συνέβαινον)
The imperfect tense marks the successive unfolding of the events.
For ensamples (τύποι)
The best texts read τυπικῶς by way of figure.
Admonition (νουθεσίαν)
See on the kindred verb to warn, Act 20:31.
Ends of the world (τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων)
Lit., ends of the ages. So Rev. Synonymous with ἡ συντέλεια τῶν αἰώνων the consummation of the ages, Heb 9:26. The phrase assumes that Christ's second coming is close at hand, and therefore the end of the world. Ellicott acutely remarks that the plural, ends, marks a little more distinctly the idea of each age of preparation having passed into the age that succeeded it, so that now all the ends of the ages have come down to them.
Are come (κατήντηκεν)
See on Act 26:7. Compare Eph 4:13; Phi 3:11.
