Ye hypocrite, &c.— "Since ye can form a judgment of the weather which shall happen, by the signs appearing in the earth and sky, what is the reason that you do not discover this time by its signs?" Our Lord meant the time of the Messiah's appearing on earth, to accomplish the salvation of the world, according to the ancient prophesies. See Mark 8:11.Matthew 16:1.-and also the time of his coming to destroy the Jewish nation, which he had described under the similitude of one who comes secretly and unexpectedly to rob a house, Luke 12:39-40.
