From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 34. Lest at any time your hearts be overcharged, &c. The meaning of this verse is, "Be continually expecting these things. Do not forget them, and do not be secure and satisfied with this life and the good things which it furnishes. Do not suffer yourselves to be drawn into the fashions of the world; to be conformed to its customs; to partake of its feasts and revelry; and so these calamities shall come upon you when you least expect them."
