Mark 13:27

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. AND THEN SHALL HE SEND HIS ANGELS - "with a great sound of a trumpet" (), AND SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH TO THE UTTERMOST PART OF HEAVEN. As the tribes of Israel were anciently gathered together by sound of trumpet (; ; ; ; Psalms 81:3), so any might...

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 HE SHALL SEND HIS ANGELS,.... The ministers of the Gospel to preach it, and plant more churches among the Gentiles, since that at Jerusalem was entirely broken up: AND SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT; that is, he the son of man, or Christ, shall gather them by the ministry of his servants; or "they shall gather them", as the Ethiopic version reads; and as Beza says it is read in a certain copy: these ministers shall be the means of gathering such whom God has chosen from all eternity, to obtain salvation by Christ, out of the world, and unto Christ, and into a Gospel church state: even FROM THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH, TO THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE HEAVEN; be they where they will, on earth, and under the whole heavens; Matthew 24:31....

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

_then shall he send his angels_ As _the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father_(John 1:18), alone ever declared or manifested Him to His creatures, so to Him God hath delegated the universal and ultimate judgment of mankind, that "as in our nature He performed all that was requisite to save us, as in our nature He was exalted to God's right hand to rule and bless us, so He shall in our nature appear to judge us."
