WHAT TIME IT IS®

MARK 13 Pg 3

 

The suffering of the remnant of Israel

 

 13:19  For [in] those days [in the last 3 ½ years of this age, after the temple has been desecrated (Dan. 9:27) and the Antichrist and Satan have their day]

[1] shall be affliction [#2347, tribulation], such as was not

                        [a.] from the beginning of the creation

[11.] which God created

                        [b.] unto this time,

                        [c.] neither shall be.

 13:20  And

            [2] except that the Lord

[a.] had shortened those days,

                                    [11.] no flesh should be saved:

            [3] but for the elect's sake [the Jewish elect],

                        [a.] whom he hath chosen,

                        [b.] he hath shortened the days.

 

 13:21  And then [in these last of the last days]

            [1] if any man shall say to you,

                        [a.] Lo, here [is] Christ [the Anointed One, the Messiah];

                        [b.] or, lo, [he is] there;

                        [c.] believe [him] not:

 

 13:22  For

            [1] false Christs [Messiahs] and

            [2] false prophets shall rise, and

                        [a.] shall show signs and

                        [b.] [shall show] wonders,

                                    [11.] to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

 

 13:23  But

            [1] take ye heed:

            [2] behold, I have foretold you

[a.] all things [which shall happen before His second coming].

 

Signs of the second coming

 

 13:24  But

            [1] in those days [the last 3 ½ years of this age],

            [2] after that tribulation [after the desecration of the temple in Jerusalem and persecution of the remnant of Israel],

                        [a.] the sun shall be darkened, and

                        [b.] the moon shall not give her light,

 13:25  And

                        [c.] the stars of heaven shall fall, and

                        [d.] the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

 

 13:26  And then shall they see [all the world shall see]

            [1] the Son of man coming

                        [a.] in the clouds

                        [b.] with great power and

                        [c.] [with great] glory.

 

 13:27  And then [at His second coming]

            [1] shall he send his angels, and

            [2] shall gather together his elect [His Hebrew elect: the Church He brings with Him]

                        [a.] from the four winds,

                        [b.] from the uttermost part of the earth

                        [c.] to the uttermost part of heaven. 

The parable of the fig tree

 

 13:28  Now learn a parable of the fig tree [the fig tree represents Israel; c/p.  Matt. 24:31; Luke 21:29]; When

            [1] her branch is yet tender, and

            [2] [she [putteth forth leaves,

                        [a.] ye know that summer is near:

 

 13:29  So ye in like manner,

            [1] when ye [ye which are alive at the end] shall see

[a.] these things come to pass,

            [2] know that it is nigh [the second coming of Jesus],

                        [a.] [even] at the doors.

 13:30  Verily I say unto you, that

            [3] this generation [the generation that sees all these signs] shall not pass,

                        [a.] till all these things be done.

 13:31  [4] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but

            [5] my words shall not pass away. 

The exact date of Jesus' return is known only to the Father

 

 13:32  But of that day and [that] hour [of His second coming] knoweth

            [1] no man, no,

            [2] not the angels

[a.] which are in heaven,

            [3] neither the Son,

            [4] but the Father.

 

 13:33  [1] Take ye heed,

            [2] watch and pray:

                        [a.] for ye know not

[11.] when the time is.

 

The parable of a man on a far journey

 

 13:34  [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey,

            [1] who left his house, and

            [2] [who] gave authority to his servants, and

            [3] [who gave] to every man his work, and

            [4] [who] commanded the porter to watch.

 

 13:35  Watch ye therefore (Matt. 24:42; Matt. 25:13; Luke 21:36):

            [1] for ye know not

[a.] when the master of the house cometh,

                                    [11.] at even, or

                                    [12.] at midnight, or

                                    [13.] at the cockcrowing, or

                        [d.] in the morning:

 13:36  [2] Lest coming suddenly

                        [a.] he find you sleeping.

 

 13:37  And

            [1] what I say unto you

            [2] I say unto all,

                        [a.] Watch.
