Destruction of the Temple Predicted

1As Mt 24:1-51; Lk 21:5-38 He was going out of the temple complex, Ac 21:26 one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, Mk 4:38 look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings! ” 1Co 14:3

2Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Mk 14:58 Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down! ”

Signs of the End of the Age

3While He was sitting on the Mount of Olives Mt 21:1 across from the temple complex, Ac 21:26 Peter, Lk 6:14; Ac 10:32 James, Ac 12:2 John, Jn 21:7 and Andrew Jn 6:8 asked Him privately,

4“Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to take place? ”

5Then Jesus began by telling them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.

6Many will come in My name, Jn 10:25; 14:13 saying, ‘I am He,’ Ex 3:14; Ps 45:8; Jn 8:24 and they will deceive 1Jn 4:6 many.

7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, Jr 51:46; Dn 11:44 don’t be alarmed; 2Th 2:2 these things must take place, Dn 2:28-29 but the end is not yet.

8For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Is 19:2 There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. Other mss add and disturbances These are the beginning Ac 26:4 of birth pains. Gl 4:19

Persecutions Predicted

9“But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to sanhedrins, Local Jewish courts or local councils Mt 10:17 and you will be flogged Lk 22:63; Ac 5:40; 16:19-23,37 in the synagogues. Jms 2:2 You will stand before governors and kings Ac 24:10-27; 25:1-12,23-27 because of Me, Rm 8:36 as a witness Mk 6:11; 1Tm 2:6 to them. Php 1:12

10And the good news Or the gospel Mk 1:1; Php 1:5 must first be proclaimed to all nations.

11So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour — say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

12Then brother will betray Jn 13:21 brother to death, Is 19:2; Mc 7:6 and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and put them to death.

13And you will be hated by everyone because of My name. Mt 10:22; Lk 6:22; Jn 15:18-21 But the one who endures to the end will be delivered. Or saved 1Co 4:12; 2Th 1:4; 2Tm 2:12; Jms 1:12

The Great Tribulation

14“When you see the abomination that causes desolation Dn 9:27; 11:31; 12:11 Dn 9:27 standing where it should not” (let the reader understand These are, most likely, Mark’s words to his readers.), “then those in Judea Lk 1:5 must flee to the mountains!

15A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house. Lk 17:22-36

16And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes. Lk 19:36

17Woe Rv 9:12 to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!

18Pray Mt 5:44; Ac 12:12 it Other mss read pray that your escape won’t happen in winter.

19For those will be days of tribulation, 1Co 1:4 the kind that hasn’t been from the beginning Ac 26:4 of the world, Lit creation Jn 1:3; Rv 3:14 which God created, until now and never will be again!

20Unless the Lord Col 4:1; Jd 5 limited those days, Is 60:21-22 no one would survive. Lit days, all flesh would not survive But He limited those days because of the elect, Mt 24:22 whom He chose. Eph 1:4

21“Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah! Mt 1:17; Eph 5:2 Look — there! ’ do not believe it!

22For false messiahs Or false christs and false prophets will rise up and will perform signs and wonders Ex 7:3; Dn 6:27; Jn 4:48; Ac 4:30; Rm 15:19; 2Th 2:9; Heb 2:4 to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

23And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.

The Coming of the Son of Man

24“But in those days, after that tribulation: 2Co 1:4

The sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not shed its light;

25the stars Rv 1:16 will be falling from the sky,

and the celestial powers will be shaken. Is 13:10; 34:4; Jl 2:10,31; 3:15

26Then they will see the Son of Man Mk 2:10 coming Mk 8:38; 1Th 4:16 in clouds Dn 7:13-14 with great power Lk 6:19 and glory. Mk 10:37; Lk 9:32

27He will send out the angels Mt 13:49; Ac 5:19; Rv 14:6 and gather His elect Mt 22:14,22 from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky. Zch 2:6

The Parable of the Fig Tree

28“Learn Jn 7:15 this parable Mk 12:1 from the fig Jn 1:48 tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. Rv 1:1

29In the same way, when you see these things happening, know Or you know that He Or it ; = summer is near — at the door!

30I assure you: Ps 72:19; Rv 22:21 This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.

31Heaven and earth Lk 10:21 will pass away, 2Pt 3:10 but My words will never pass away. Ps 102:25-27; Is 40:6-8; 51:6; Mt 5:18; Lk 16:17

No One Knows the Day or Hour

32“Now concerning that day Mt 25:13 or hour no one knows — neither the angels Mt 13:49 in heaven nor the Son Jn 5:19; Heb 1:2 — except the Father. Mt 5:16; 11:27; Jn 8:42

33Watch! Be alert! Other mss add and pray For you don’t know when the time Lk 20:20 is coming. Ac 1:7; 1Th 5:1-2; 1Pt 5:6

34It is like Lk 12:35-40 a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his slaves, Mt 10:24 gave each one his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to be alert.

35Therefore be alert, Rv 16:15 since you don’t know when the master Col 3:22 of the house is coming — whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early in the morning.

36Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping. Pr 6:4

37And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert! ”
