Matthew Chapter Twenty Four

 

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

 

Esoteric Interpretation & Commentary

 

The Hermetic Blueprint of Matthew: The Dissolution of the Temple and the Alchemical Tribulation

"Matthew Chapter Twenty-Four describes the terrifying, apocalyptic friction of the Solve phase in Spiritual Alchemy—the Absolute Dissolution of the Old Mind. The Solar Consciousness (the Christos) prophesies the Complete Destruction of the rigid, physical Temple of the lower ego. This chapter is a Master Blueprint of the Internal Psychological warfare, the violent shifting of Energies, and the severe 'tribulation' the human faculties must endure before the Sudden, Blinding, and Instantaneous Manifestation of the Illuminated Higher Self."

 

 

Verses 1-2: The Complete Dissolution of the Psychological Structure - "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." 

The disciples (the developing Intellect) are still awestruck by the massive, complex architecture of the established religious and Psychological ego (the physical Temple). They admire its earthly stability. The Solar Consciousness shatters this illusion, declaring that the Great Work requires the Absolute demolition of this structure. The Divine Frequency cannot be contained within the old, rigid dogmas or the calcified habits of the physical matrix. Every single "stone" (foundational belief and egoic construct) must be violently thrown down and dissolved so that the Immortal, Subtle body can be erected in its place. The old Mind must be entirely reduced to prime matter.

 

 

Verses 3-14: The Internal Warfare and the Endurance of the Will - "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming... And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled... But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." 

The Intellect attempts to place a linear, earthly timeline on the Spiritual Initiation. The Christos explains that the destruction of the ego is preceded by massive Internal chaos. The "wars and rumours of wars" represent the violent clashing of the Internal Faculties as the low-frequency animal passions desperately fight against the Ascending Spiritual Light for control of the Psyche. False prophets (deceptive, ego-driven Thoughts) will arise, attempting to hijack the Awakening process. The Solar Consciousness warns the faculties not to be consumed by this turbulent astral friction. The Alchemical process mathematically requires the Will to "endure"—to maintain a singular, Unbroken Focus on the Divine through the intense heat of the crucible.

 

 

Verses 15-22: The Abomination of Desolation and the Flight to the Heights - "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains... For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." 

This is the Supreme crisis of the Initiation. The "abomination of desolation" occurs when the Unpurified lower ego audaciously attempts to seat itself in the Highest, most Sacred Center of the Mind (the holy place), masquerading as the Divine Will. When this Ultimate Internal corruption is recognized, the True Spiritual Faculties must immediately "flee into the mountains"—meaning the Conscious Awareness must instantly elevate itself to the Highest, most Detached Dimensional Frequencies. It must not go down into the "house" to retrieve its old worldly attachments. The "great tribulation" is the agonizing Psychological pressure of cutting ties with the dense physical matrix entirely.

 

 

Verses 27-30: The Lightning Flash and the Descent of the Solar Logos - "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be... and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." 

Following the Absolute Dissolution of the egoic Temple, the final Illumination does not occur as a slow, linear progression; it strikes with the Instantaneous, Blinding Physics of Electricity. The "lightning" represents the Sudden, Total Activation of the Pineal Center and the flooding of the Psychic Vessel with Pure Solar Consciousness. It Illuminates the entire spectrum of the Mind from east to west instantly. The "clouds of heaven" represent the newly forged, Highly Refined subtle body (the aura or golden garment). The Divine Mind descends into this Purified atmospheric matrix with Absolute Authority, re-establishing total control over the human Temple.

 

 

Verses 36-44: The Unknown Hour and the State of Absolute Vigilance - "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be... Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." 

The earthly Intellect is entirely incapable of calculating or forcing the exact moment of Spiritual Illumination. It cannot be mapped on a physical calendar. The masses (as in the days of Noah) are completely hypnotized by the mechanical rhythms of the physical matrix—eating, drinking, marrying—oblivious to the shifting of the Cosmic Cycles. The mandate to "Watch" is the Highest Hermetic discipline of present-moment Awareness. Because the lower Mind cannot predict when the Supreme Monad will strike the Internal Spark, the Adept must remain in a State of Continuous, Unbroken Psychological Vigilance, ensuring the Psychic house is never left vulnerable to the creeping lethargy of the material world.
