Mark 13
1. 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














So also
This phrase serves as a connective tissue, linking the preceding verses with the current statement. In the context of Mark 13, Jesus is speaking about the signs of the end times. The Greek word used here, "houtōs," implies a direct comparison or analogy. It suggests that just as certain signs indicate the changing of seasons, so too do the events described signal the nearness of a significant divine intervention. This phrase encourages believers to be attentive and discerning, understanding the times in which they live.

when you see
The act of seeing here is not merely physical but also spiritual and perceptive. The Greek word "eidō" implies a deeper understanding or realization. It calls for believers to be vigilant and aware, not just of the physical manifestations of the signs but also of their spiritual significance. This seeing is an active, engaged process, requiring believers to be watchful and prepared.

these things happening
"These things" refers to the events and signs Jesus has described earlier in the chapter, such as wars, earthquakes, and persecutions. The Greek word "ginomai" for "happening" suggests a coming into being or occurrence. It emphasizes the unfolding of prophetic events as part of God's sovereign plan. Historically, these signs have been interpreted as both immediate (relating to the destruction of the Temple in AD 70) and eschatological (pertaining to the end times). This dual fulfillment underscores the reliability and depth of Jesus' prophecy.

know
The Greek word "ginōskō" used here implies a knowledge that is certain and assured. It is not speculative but confident, based on the authority of Christ's words. This knowledge is meant to provide comfort and assurance to believers, affirming that God's plan is unfolding as promised. It is a call to trust in God's sovereignty and faithfulness.

that He is near
The nearness of "He" refers to the imminent return of Christ. The Greek word "eggus" conveys a sense of proximity, both in time and space. This nearness is a source of hope and anticipation for believers, reminding them that their redemption is drawing close. It encourages a posture of readiness and expectation, living in the light of Christ's return.

right at the door
This vivid imagery suggests immediacy and urgency. The phrase "right at the door" implies that the fulfillment of God's promises is on the threshold, ready to be realized. In the cultural context of the time, a door was a place of entry and transition, symbolizing the passage from one state to another. This metaphor highlights the transformative nature of Christ's return, ushering in a new era of God's kingdom. It serves as a powerful reminder for believers to remain steadfast and faithful, knowing that the culmination of history is at hand.
