Mark 13:2-7

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 13:5-7

‘And Jesus began to say to them, “Take care that no man leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say ‘I am the one’ and will lead many astray. And when you will hear of wars and rumours of wars, do not be troubled. These things must necessarily happen, but the end is not yet.” Jesus considered that they needed to be warned against two things, firstly, those falsely claiming to be Messiah, and secondly, being deceived by world events. The mention of false Christs coming ‘in His name’ may... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 13:5-8

The Coming Dreadful Cataclysms But The End Is Not Yet (13:5-8). Tacitus, a first century Roman historian, after referring to the horrors, calamities, disasters and portents, of the period, went on to say ‘never has it been better proved, by such terrible disasters to Rome, or by such clear evidence, that the gods were concerned, not with our safety but with vengeance on our sins.’ It is clear from this that to a contemporary the first century AD was a time of terrible troubles, including... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 13:1-37

Mark 13:1-Haggai : . The Eschatologieal Discourse.— The first two verses contain our Lord’ s prediction of the fall of Jerusalem. To the Jews, such an anticipation would seem blasphemous ( cf. Acts 6:14). The discourse that follows does not explicitly develop this prophecy. For “ the abomination of desolation” ( Mark 13:14) is only a vague reference to the laying waste of Jerusalem, though it does foreshadow some signal profanation of the Temple. (The phrase comes from Daniel 9:27; Daniel... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 13:1-2

The perishing nature of the splendid and gay things of this world, are fitter objects for the meditation of such as are Christ’s disciples, than the splendour and magnificence of them, especially when they are the privileges of a sinful people. Sin will undermine and blow up the most famous structures. It is a good thing for Christians not to set their hearts upon them. See Poole on "Matthew 24:1-2". read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 13:3-4

Matthew puts two things more into the question, What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? The best of men have a great curiosity to know futurities, things that shall hereafter come to pass. All the other part of this chapter is spent by our Saviour in an answer to these three questions, according to St. Matthew, or this one question, according to Mark and Luke. Some have attempted curiously to distinguish betwixt the signs intended by our Saviour, as relating to each... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 13:5-6

See Poole on "Matthew 24:4-5". This is the first sign, fulfilled before the destruction of Jerusalem in part, and which had been fulfilling ever since; and probably before the day of judgment the number of such impostors will increase. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 13:7-8

Matthew adds pestilences. Luke saith, pestilences, and fearful sights and great signs from heaven. See Poole on "Matthew 24:6", and following verses to Matthew 24:8. Here are two or three more signs put together: 1. Wars, and rumours of wars; great commotions in nations, which though they may be at other times, yet probably may be more extraordinary before the day of judgment. 2. Famines, pestilences, and earthquakes. 3. Fearful sights, and apparitions in the air and the heavens. Such there... read more

Mark's gospel chapter 13.And as he [Jesus] went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! ( Mark 13:1 )Referring to the great temple in Jerusalem that was started in the year 2219 B.C. by Herod the Great. It became one of the wonders of the ancient world.
