But do not depend upon any other help For all the nearest ties will be broken. \nMark 13:14\n \nmar 13:14\nWhere it ought not - That place being set apart for sacred use. Mat 24:15; Luk 21:20; Dan 9:27. \nMark 13:19\n \nmar 13:19\nIn those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation - May it not be doubted, whether this be yet fully accomplished? Is not much of this affliction still to come? \nMark 13:20\n \nmar 13:20\nThe elect - The Christians: whom he hath chosen - That is, hath taken out of, or separated from, the world, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. He hath shortened - That is, will surely shorten. \nMark 13:21\n \nmar 13:21\nMat 24:23. \nMark 13:24\n \nmar 13:24\nBut in those days - Which immediately precede the end of the world: after that tribulation - Above described. \nMark 13:28\n \nmar 13:28\nMat 24:32; Luk 21:28. \nMark 13:29\n \nmar 13:29\nHe is nigh - The Son of man. \nMark 13:30\n \nmar 13:30\nAll these things - Relating to the temple and the city. \nMark 13:32\n \nmar 13:32\nOf that day - The day of judgment is often in the Scriptures emphatically called that day. Neither the Son - Not as man: as man he was no more omniscient than omnipresent. But as God he knows all the circumstances of it. \nMark 13:33\n \nmar 13:33\nMat 24:42; Luk 21:34. \nMark 13:34\n \nmar 13:34\nThe Son of man is as a man taking a far journey - Being about to leave this world and go to the Father, he appoints the services that are to be performed by all his servants, in their several stations. This seems chiefly to respect ministers at the day of judgment: but it may be applied to all men, and to the time of death. Mat 25:14; Luk 19:12.","title":"Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible: Mark: Mark Chapter 13","type":"page"}
