Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Peter 1:14

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle , even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me .

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 2 Cor. 5.1.

Iohn 21. 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 Revelation but that, Iohn 21. it may be said, that v. 18.22. Christ intimates that Peter's Death should be before Iohn's, who should live till he came, viz. in Judgment against Ierusalem to destroy it, which Peter now (observing the Affairs of the Iews, and considering his Masters words, Matth. 24.) perceived to be nigh at hand; and thence infers, that his own Death was not far off.
