This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 24:27. Ἀστραπὴ, lightning) It is not all lightning that is meant, but that which sometimes suddenly fills the whole horizon without previous warning.-ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, from the east) The lightning comes also from the other quarters; but in this passage it is said to come from the east. It may be supposed that Christ’s Advent will take place from the east. The interval which is to elapse between the appearance of the Lord’s Advent (see Gnomon on 2Th 2:8) and the Advent itself, enables the actual Advent to be sudden.-τοῦ Υἱοῦʼ Ανθρώπον, of the Son of Man) From this place to Mat 24:44, especially, He is frequently called The Son of Man; cf. ch. Mat 25:31.
