*:
tabernacle-tent, dwelling. (Here=body).
a metaphor taken from garments; the soul, while in the body, is clothed with flesh, and death to the godly is but the putting off their clothes, and going to bed, Isa 57:2.
see 2Co 5:1.
Joh 21:18,19, Christ tells Peter of the kind of his death, that it should be violent, but speaks nothing there of the circumstance of the time; and therefore either this apostle had a twofold revelation of his death, the former as to the manner of it, and this latter concerning the time; or, if this here were no other but that, Joh 21:1-25, it may be said, that, Joh 21:18,22 Christ intimates that Peter’s death should be before John’s, who should live till he came, viz. in judgment against Jerusalem to destroy it, which Peter now (observing the affairs of the Jews, and considering his Master’s words, Mat 24:1-51) perceived to be nigh at hand; and thence infers, that his own death was not far off.
