The Abomination of Desolation
Matthew 24:25 “Behold, I have told you before.”
Behold,
I have... Meaning not before in this discourse, though he had (in
Mat. 24:5), signified also, that false christs, and false prophets
should arise, but before these things came to pass; so that they had
sufficient notice and warning of them, and would be inexcusable if
they were not upon their guard against them.
Which when those things came to pass; it would furnish a considerable argument in proof of him as the true Messiah, against all these false ones showing him to be omniscient. And so would serve to establish their faith in him, and be a means of securing them from such deceivers.
The Lord warned the disciples ahead of time not to be fooled for He would not be on earth working in that way.
