SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:27

Porque como el relmpago que sale del oriente y se muestra hasta el occidente, así ser tambin la venida del Hijo del hombre.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:27

Verse 27. For as the
lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west] It is worthy of remark that our Lord, in the most particular manner, points out the very march of the Roman army: they entered into Judea on the EAST, and carried on their conquest WESTWARD, as if not only the extensiveness of the ruin, but the very route which the army would take, were intended in the comparison of the lightning issuing from the east, and shining to the west.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 27. For as the
lightning cometh out of the east , etc.] The eastern part of the horizon, and shineth even unto the west ; to the western part of it, with great clearness; in a moment; in the twinkling of an eye, filling the whole intermediate space; so shall also the coming of the son of man be ; which must be understood not of his last coming to judgment, though that will be sudden, visible, and universal; he will at once come to, and be seen by all, in the clouds of heaven, and not in deserts and secret chambers: nor of his spiritual coming in the more sudden, and clear, and powerful preaching of the Gospel all over the Gentile world; for this was to be done before the destruction of Jerusalem: but of his coming in his wrath and vengeance to destroy that people, their nation, city, and temple: so that after this to look for the Messiah in a desert, or secret chamber, must argue great stupidity and blindness; when his coming was as sudden, visible, powerful, and general, to the destruction of that nation, as the lightning that comes from the east, and, in a moment, shines to the west.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 4-28 - The
disciples had asked concerning the times, When these things shoul be? Christ gave them no answer to that; but they had also asked, What shall be the sign? This question he answers fully. The prophecy firs respects events near at hand, the destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the Jewish church and state, the calling of the Gentiles, and the setting up of Christ's kingdom in the world; but it also looks to the general judgment; and toward the close, points more particularly to the latter. What Christ here said to his disciples, tended more to promot caution than to satisfy their curiosity; more to prepare them for the events that should happen, than to give a distinct idea of the events This is that good understanding of the times which all should covet thence to infer what Israel ought to do. Our Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their guard against false teachers. And he foretells wars and great commotions among nations. From the time tha the Jews rejected Christ, and he left their house desolate, the swor never departed from them. See what comes of refusing the gospel. Thos who will not hear the messengers of peace, shall be made to hear the messengers of war. But where the heart is fixed, trusting in God, it is kept in peace, and is not afraid. It is against the mind of Christ that his people should have troubled hearts, even in troublous times When we looked forward to the eternity of misery that is before the obstinate refusers of Christ and his gospel, we may truly say, The greatest earthly judgments are but the beginning of sorrows. It is comforting that some shall endure even to the end. Our Lord foretell the preaching of the gospel in all the world. The end of the worl shall not be till the gospel has done its work. Christ foretells the ruin coming upon the people of the Jews; and what he said here, woul be of use to his disciples, for their conduct and for their comfort. I God opens a door of escape, we ought to make our escape, otherwise we do not trust God, but tempt him. It becomes Christ's disciples, i times of public trouble, to be much in prayer: that is never out of season, but in a special manner seasonable when we are distressed of every side. Though we must take what God sends, yet we may pray agains sufferings; and it is very trying to a good man, to be taken by an work of necessity from the solemn service and worship of God on the sabbath day. But here is one word of comfort, that for the elect's sak these days shall be made shorter than their enemies designed, who woul have cut all off, if God, who used these foes to serve his own purpose had not set bounds to their wrath. Christ foretells the rapid spreadin of the gospel in the world. It is plainly seen as the lightning. Chris preached his gospel openly. The Romans were like an eagle, and the ensign of their armies was an eagle. When a people, by their sin, make themselves as loathsome carcasses, nothing can be expected but that God should send enemies to destroy them. It is very applicable to the da of judgment, the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in that day, 2Th 2:1 Let us give diligence to make our calling and election sure; then ma we know that no enemy or deceiver shall ever prevail against us.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

27. Shineth (fainetai). Rev., better, is seen. The coming of the
Lord will be a plain, unmistakable fact, like the lightning which lightens both ends of the heaven at once, and is seen of all. It will not be connected with some particular place, but will manifest itself and be recognized over the whole world. Compare Apoc. i. 7: "Every eye shall see him."

Robertson's NT Word Studies

24:27 {As seen} (fainetai). Visible in contrast to the invisibility of the false Messiahs. Cf. #Re 1:7. Like a flash of
lightning.
