Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple;9. the persecutions for the gospel; 10. that the gospel must be preached to all nations; 14. that great calamities shall happen to the Jews; 24. and the manner of his coming to judgment; 32. the hour whereof being known to none, every man is to watch and pray But in those days, after that tribulation: This phrase refers to a specific period following a time of great distress or suffering. In the context of Mark 13, Jesus is speaking about the end times and the events leading up to His second coming. The "tribulation" mentioned here is often interpreted as a period of intense persecution and hardship for believers, as described in various prophetic passages throughout the Bible, such as Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 7:14. This period is characterized by significant trials and challenges for the faithful, often seen as a testing of their faith. ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe speaker of this prophecy, Jesus is addressing His disciples about the end times and the signs that will precede His second coming. 2. Disciples The immediate audience of Jesus' discourse, representing all believers who seek to understand the signs of the end times. 3. The Tribulation A period of great suffering and distress that precedes the return of Christ, characterized by significant cosmic disturbances. 4. The Sun and Moon Celestial bodies used symbolically to describe the dramatic changes and signs in the heavens that will occur during the end times. 5. End Times The eschatological period leading up to the return of Christ, marked by significant upheaval and fulfillment of prophecy. Teaching Points Understanding ProphecyRecognize the importance of prophecy in Scripture as a means to prepare believers for future events and to affirm God's sovereignty over history. Signs of the Times Be vigilant and discerning of the signs that Jesus described, understanding that they point to His imminent return and the fulfillment of God's plan. Hope in Christ's Return Despite the tribulation and cosmic disturbances, believers can find hope and assurance in the promise of Christ's return and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. Spiritual Readiness Live in a state of spiritual readiness, cultivating a life of faith, prayer, and obedience, knowing that the exact timing of these events is unknown. Witnessing to Others Use the urgency of the end times as motivation to share the Gospel with others, emphasizing the need for repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.(24-31) But in those days.--See Notes on Matthew 24:29-35.Verse 24. - But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. St. Matthew (Matthew 24:29) has the word "immediately," before the words "after that tribulation." If this word "immediately" is to be understood literally, then the things spoken of subsequently must be understood in a figurative and spiritual sense. But it would seem more natural to understand "immediately" according to the reckoning of him with whom "a thousand years are as one day." Our Lord now passes away from the events connected with the overthrow of the Jewish polity, and proceeds to speak of things connected with the new dispensation. His mind is now turned to "the last time" - to the whole period between his first and his second advent. The things towards which he was now looking belonged, not to the end of the Jewish dispensation, but to the end of the present age and the present dispensation. Eighteen centuries have passed since the destruction of Jerusalem; and more years, it may be, will come and go before the end. Nevertheless, all this time, although it may seem long to us who are confined within the narrow limits of a short life, is nevertheless, when compared with the eternity of God, but as a moment. "The sun shall be darkened." The signs here enumerated are mentioned elsewhere as the signs that would appear before the second coming of Christ. (See Joel 2:31 and Luke 21:25, 26.) St. Augustine (Ep. 80, 'Ad Hesychium') says, "The light of truth shall be obscured; because in the great tribulation that shall come on the world, many will fall from the faith, who had seemed to be bright and firm, like the sun and the stars." "And the moon," that is, the Church, "shall not give her light." Parallel Commentaries ... Greek However,Ἀλλὰ (Alla) Conjunction Strong's 235: But, except, however.
