MARK

The suffering
of the remnant of Israel
13:19 For [in] those days [in the last
3 ½ years of this age, after the
temple has been desecrated (Dan. 9:27) and the Antichrist and Satan have their day]
[1] shall be affliction
[#2347, tribulation], such as was not
[a.] from the
beginning of the creation
[11.]
which God created
[b.] unto this
time,
[c.] neither
shall be.
13:20 And
[2] except that the Lord
[a.]
had shortened those days,
[11.] no flesh should be saved:
[3] but for the elect's sake [the
Jewish elect],
[a.] whom he
hath chosen,
[b.] he hath
shortened the days.
13:21 And then [in these last of the last
days]
[1] if any man shall say to you,
[a.] Lo, here
[is] Christ [the
Anointed One, the Messiah];
[b.] or, lo,
[he is] there;
[c.] believe
[him] not:
13:22 For
[1] false Christs [Messiahs] and
[2] false prophets shall rise,
and
[a.] shall
show signs and
[b.] [shall
show] wonders,
[11.] to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.
13:23 But
[1] take ye heed:
[2] behold, I have foretold you
[a.] all things [which shall happen before His second
coming].
13:24 But
[1] in those days [the last 3 ½ years of this age],
[2] after that tribulation [after the desecration of the temple in
Jerusalem and persecution of the remnant of Israel],
[a.] the sun
shall be darkened, and
[b.] the moon
shall not give her light,
13:25 And
[c.] the stars
of heaven shall fall, and
[d.] the
powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
13:26 And then shall they see [all
the world shall see]
[1] the Son of man coming
[a.] in the
clouds
[b.] with
great power and
[c.] [with
great] glory.
13:27 And then [at His second coming]
[1] shall he send his angels, and
[2] shall gather together his
elect [His Hebrew elect: the Church
He brings with Him]
[a.] from the
four winds,
[b.] from the
uttermost part of the earth
[c.] to the
uttermost part of heaven.
The parable of the fig tree
13:28 Now learn a parable
of the fig tree [the fig tree represents Israel; c/p.
Matt.
24:31;
Luke 21:29]; When
[1] her branch is yet tender, and
[2] [she [putteth forth leaves,
[a.] ye know that summer is near:
13:29 So ye in like
manner,
[1] when ye [ye which
are alive at the end] shall see
[a.]
these things come to pass,
[2] know that it is nigh
[the second coming of Jesus],
[a.] [even] at
the doors.
13:30 Verily I say unto
you, that
[3] this generation [the
generation that sees all these signs] shall not pass,
[a.] till all
these things be done.
13:31 [4] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but
[5] my words shall not pass away.
The
exact date of Jesus' return is known only to the Father
13:32 But of that day and
[that] hour [of His second
coming] knoweth
[1] no man, no,
[2] not the angels
[a.]
which are in heaven,
[3] neither the Son,
[4] but the Father.
13:33 [1] Take ye heed,
[2] watch and pray:
[a.] for ye know not
[11.]
when the time is.
The parable of
a man on a far journey
13:34 [For the Son of man
is] as a man taking a far journey,
[1] who left his house, and
[2] [who] gave authority to his
servants, and
[3] [who gave] to every man his
work, and
[4] [who] commanded the porter to
watch.
13:35 Watch ye therefore
(Matt. 24:42;
Matt.
25:13;
Luke 21:36):
[1] for ye know not
[a.]
when the master of the house cometh,
[11.] at even, or
[12.] at midnight, or
[13.] at the cockcrowing, or
[d.] in the
morning:
13:36 [2] Lest coming suddenly
[a.] he find
you sleeping.
13:37 And
[1] what I say unto you
[2] I say unto all,
[a.] Watch.
