Mark 13:14

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: BUT WHEN YE SHALL SEE - "Jerusalem compassed by armies" [ stratopedoon (G4760)] - 'by encamped armies;' in other words, when ye shall see it besieged, and THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, [ to (G3588) bdelugma (G946) tees (G3588) ereemooseoos (G2050)], SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL THE PROPHET, STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT - that is, as e...

14-23 The Jews in rebelling against the Romans, and in persecuting the Christians, hastened their own ruin apace. Here we have a prediction of that ruin which came upon them within less than forty years after this. Such destruction and desolation, that the like cannot be found in any history. Promises of power to persevere, and cautions against falling away, well agree with each other. But the more we consider these things, the more we shall see abundant cause to flee without delay for refuge to Christ, and to renounce every earthly object, for the salvation of our souls....

Verse Mark 13:14. _LET HIM THAT READETH UNDERSTAND_] _What he readeth_, is added by D, and three of the _Itala_, perhaps needlessly....

EXPOSITION MARK 13:1 AND AS HE WENT FORTH OUT OF THE TEMPLE, ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES SAITH UNTO HIM MASTER, BEHOLD, WHAT MANNER, OF STONES AND WHAT MANNER OF BUILDINGS! This would be in the evening. According to St. Luke (Luke 21:37), our Lord, during the early part of this _week_,_ _passed his nights upon the Mount of Olives, taking his food at Bethany with Martha and Mary, and spending his days in the temple at Jerusalem, teaching the people. It is most probable that he left the temple by the golden gate on the east, from whence the view of the temple would be particularly striking. We learn from St. Matthew (Matthew 24:1.) that our Lord had just been predicting

BUT WHEN YE SHALL SEE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,.... The Roman army encompassing Jerusalem, which was an abomination to the Jews, and an "impure sign" of their destruction, as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; and a desolating one to their nation, city, and temple: SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL THE PROPHET, in Daniel 9:27. This clause is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, and was not found by Beza, in two of his copies, and is thought to be transcribed from Matthew: STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT; round about the city, in the midst of it, and even in the temple: in one of Beza's exemplars it is added, "in the holy place", as in Matthew; and so it is read in the Ethiopic version: LET HIM THAT READETH UNDERSTAND; either the passage in Daniel, or the citation of it by the evangelist, when he shall see this come to pass: this seems to be rather

WHEN YE See "Beast." (Daniel 7:8); (Revelation 19:20). THEN LET Compare (Luke 21:20); which is a prophecy fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 70, when the Christians escaped, and which foreshadowed the more terrible day here described. See "Great Tribulation"; (Psalms 2:5); (Revelation 7:14). (_ See Scofield) - (Psalms 2:5). _ ( See Scofield) - ...

CHAPTER 13 _ 1. The Destruction of the Temple Predicted. (Mark 13:1 .Matthew 24:1; Luke 21:5)_ 2. The Questions of the Disciples. (Mark 13:3 .Matthew 24:3; Luke 21:7) 3. The Olivet Discourse. (Mark 13:5. Matthew 24:4; Luke 21

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 11:31 *, and means a profanation that provokes horror; _cf._ also 1Ma_1:54; 1Ma_6:7.) The subject of this, the longest speech attributed to Jesus in Mk., is the signs of the end, rat

THE THINGS TO COME (Mark 13:1-37) Mark 13:1-37 is one of the most difficult Chapter s in the New Testament for a modern reader to understand. That is because it is one of the most Jewish Chapter s in the Bible. From beginning to end it is thinking in terms of Jewish history and Jewish ideas. All through it Jesus is using categories and pictures which were very familiar to the Jews of his day, but which are very strange, and indeed, unknown, to many modern readers. Even so, it is not possible to disregard this chapter because it is the source of many ideas about the second coming of Jesus. The difficulty about the doctrine of the second coming is that nowadays people are apt either completely to disregard it or to be so completely unbalanced about it that it becomes for them practically the only d
