Meyer, Heinrich
(On Matthew 24:30)
"R. Hofman thinks that the reference is to that apparition in the form of a man which is alleged to have stood over the holy of holies for a whole night while the destruction of the capital was going on." (vol. 1, p. 423)
(On Matthew 24:34)
"That the second advent itself is intended to be included, is likewise evident from v. 36, in which the subject of the day and hour of the advent is introduced."
"The affirmation of v. 34, however, does not exclude the fact that no one knows the day and hour when the second advent, with its accompanying phenomena, is to take place. It is to occur during the life-time of the generation then existing, but no one knows on what day or at what hour within the period thus indicated."
"The plain teaching of the passage is that before some of those who heard him speak should die the Son of man would come in glory, and his kingdom would be established in power" (Quoted from Biblical Apocalyptics, Milton Terry, p. 220).
(On Luke 21:24)
"...till the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled, i.e. till the time that the periods which are appointed to the Gentile nations for the completion of the divine judgments (not the period of grace for the Gentiles...) shall have run out. Comp. Rev. xi. 2. Such times of the Gentiles are ended in the case in question by the Parousia (vv. 25 f., 27), which is to occur during the lifetime of the hearers (ver. 28).. hence those.. are in no way to be regarded as of longer duration" (Meyer, pp. 530-531).
(On I Thessalonians 4:17)
"..Paul reckoned himself with those who would survive till the commencement of the advent..." (vol. 8, p. 532).
(On I Peter 4:7)
"That the apostle, without fixing the time or the hour of it, looked upon the advent of Christ and the end of the world,- in its condition hitherto, - therewirth connected, as near at hand, must be singly admitted." (Meyer's Commentary, vol. 10, p. 316).
