Mark 13:26

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY. In , this is given most fully: "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man," etc. That this language finds its highest interpretation in the Second Personal Coming of Christ, is most certain. But the question is, whether that be the primary sense of it as it stands here? Now, if the reader will turn to Daniel 7:13, and connect with it the preceding verses, he will find, we think, the true key to our Lord's meaning here. There the powers that oppressed the Church-symbolized by rapacious wild beasts-...

24-27 The disciples had confounded the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world. This mistake Christ set right, and showed that the day of Christ's coming, and the day of judgment, shall be after that tribulation. Here he foretells the final dissolution of the present frame and fabric of the world. Also, the visible appearance of the Lord Jesus coming in the clouds, and the gathering together of all the elect to him....

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

AND THEN SHALL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN,.... Not in person, but in the power of his wrath and vengeance; of which the Jews then had a convincing evidence, and full proof; and even of his being come in the flesh, as if they had seen him in person: this shows, that the sign of the son of man, in Matthew 24:30 is the same with the son of man: COMING IN THE CLOUDS WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY; not to judgment, but having taken vengeance on the Jewish nation, to set up his kingdom and glory in the Gentile world; Matthew 24:30....

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

_shall they see the Son of man_ Even when speaking of the "glorious majesty" of His Second Advent, He calls Himself by the name which links Him to the Humanity He came to save. For the title see note on ch. Mark 2:10, and compare John 5:22; John 5:27, "the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son, and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because _he is the Son of man_." _in the clouds_ And so the Angels distinctly stated to the Apostles at the Ascension (Acts 1:11); and Daniel foresaw Him _coming with the clouds of heaven_...
