MacArthur approaches Matthew 24 from a consistent dispensational premillennial framework, interpreting the Olivet Discourse as primarily future and literal, which shapes his eschatological conclusions throughout. Readers from amillennial or historic premillennial traditions will find his exegesis thorough but should be aware of this hermeneutical lens.
