MARK
13 Pg 2
Persecution of
and in the early Jewish Church
13:9 But take heed to yourselves [the
early Church, which was 100% Jewish]: for
[1] they shall deliver you up
[a.] to councils [the Sanhedrin, as
well as the council in each synagogue]; and
[2] in the synagogues
[a.]
ye shall be beaten: and
[3] ye shall be brought before
[a.] rulers
and
[b.] kings
[11.] for my sake,
[12.] for a testimony
[aa.]
against them [this was completely
fulfilled in the ministry of the Apostle Paul, but shall have a second
fulfillment during the Antichrist Covenant week...the last 7 years of
this: the age of grace].
The publishing of the gospel among all nations fixes the fulfillment of this prophecy to the end times
13:10 And the gospel must first be published
[1] among all nations
[before His second coming to the
earth].
13:11 But when they [Jews
and Gentiles bringing the persecution against Jewish Christians] shall
[1] lead [you], and
[2] deliver you up,
[a.] take no
thought beforehand
[11.] what ye shall speak,
[b.] neither
do ye premeditate: but
[c.] whatsoever
shall be given you
[11.]
in that hour,
[aa.] that speak ye:
[ab.] for it is not ye that speak,
[111.]
but the Holy Ghost.
13:12 Now
[1] the brother shall betray [c/p.
Matt. 10:21]
[a.] the brother to death, and
[2] the father [shall
betray]
[a.]
the son [to death]; and
[3] children shall rise up
[a.] against [their] parents,
[11.] and shall cause them
[aa.] to be put to death.
Universal
hatred of
born again
Jews after the
Rapture
13:13 And
[1] ye shall be hated of all [men] [Jewish Christians hated by all after the Rapture
of the Church]
[a.] for my
name's sake [hated for the name of Jesus]: but
[2] he that shall endure unto the end [the second coming
of Jesus (c/p.
Matt. 10:22;
Matt. 24:13],
[b.] the same shall be saved.
Persecution during the
time of
Jacob’s trouble
13:14 But
[1] when ye [Jewish disciples (c/p. Mark 13:3)] shall see
[a.]
the abomination of desolation [the Antichrist (Dan. 9:27)],
[11.] spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
[12.] standing where it ought not [in the temple in Jerusalem],
[aa.] (let him that readeth [this prophesy is for a time when the gospel would be published in printed
form] understand,) then
[2] let them that be in Judæa [the remnant of Israel]
[a.] flee to the mountains
(Rev. 12:6,
Rev. 12:14):
13:15 And
[3] let him that is on the
housetop
[a.] not go
down into the house,
[b.] neither enter [therein],
[11.] to take any thing out of his house:
13:16 And
[4] let him that is in the field
[a.] not turn
back again
[11.]
for to take up his garment.
13:17 But
[5] woe to them
[a.] that are
with child, and to them
[b.] that give
suck in those days!
13:18 And
[6] pray ye that your flight
[a.]
be not in the winter.
