MARK Chapter 13

Mark 13

Jesus predicts destruction of Jerusalem temple 

1 And as He departs out of the temple, one of His disciples tells Him, Master, behold, what a kind of stones even for this kind of architecture!

2 and Jesus tells him, did you see the great thing concerning this structure? There will not be a stone left upon a stone, which will not be thrown down.

The signs of the end time

3 As He sits down upon mount olives, directly opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew ask Him in private.

4 tell us, when will these things be? And what signs will be, when all these things will be fulfilled?

5 And Jesus begins to speak to them, look, never should any person deceive you.

6 many people are coming upon My name (authority), to say, that, it is me, and many will be deceived.

7 however, whenever you hear of warfare, and hearing things about warfare, never clamour; but certainly (there is no (gain)say), the ultimate end must happen.

8 No doubt, nation will rise-up upon nation, and kingdom upon kingdom; earthquakes (and disturbances) will be in places and there will be famines. These things are in according to the early stage of labour-pain (child-birth travails). 

9 however, you will see yourselves delivered unto Jewish Sahendrin court, and you will be beaten in synagogues; standing before governors and kings, on account of My Testimony unto them.

10. But, it is necessary first of all, for gospel to be proclaimed, unto all the non-Jewish nations

11 and whenever you are led and delivered-up, never be anxious of what to preach in advance, whatever in case, is given to you, in that hour, preach. Because, these things you will preach is not of you, but of The Holy Spirit.

12 and a brother will surrender brother unto death, and father, children; even children will rise up against parents, even to kill them.

13 and you will be hated by all people, because of My Name; but those who will endure unto the end goal, the same shall be saved.

The 3 1/2 years of terrible tribulations of antichrist and its false speaker 

14 However, whenever you see the abomination/detestation of the one of desolation, + which was spoken under prophet Daniel+ (Dan 11:31, 12:11), standing at a place where he ought not, [those reading should exercise their mind]. Then, those in Judea, should run away unto the mountains,

15 and those upon the dome of edifice, should not come down, not even to enter and take up anything from their houses;

16 And those in the farm-field, should not return unto things behind, even to take away their clothes.

17 Howbeit, alas! For those having (baby) in womb, and those nursing infants, in those days!

18 But, MAKE PRAYER , at least, for it, not to happen in rainy-season (winter),

19 no doubt, there shall be sorrows in those days, the kind of such that has never happened, away from the early times of creation (original formation), which God created (form originally), until now - and will never ever happen.

20 if the SUPREME God (Jehovah) had not truncated the days, not all the elected flesh will possibly be saved; but because of the chosen, the days shall be truncated.

21 and then, in case, anyone tells you, behold, Christ is here, or behold, he is there, never believe.

22 no doubt, a false-Christ and a false-speaker/prophet will rise up, and the great part is the giving of signs and monstrous things, toward seducing, if possible, the elected ones.

23 but, you will see; I have foretold all things to you.

Arrival of the Son for 1000 years reign

24 Moreover, in those days, amid those sorrows, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its brilliancy;

25 and the stars will fall down from heaven, and the powers in the sky will be shakened.

26 and then, they will see the Son coming to men in the cloud, amid very much Powers and Glory;

27 and will then send out Angels from heaven, to gather His Chosen ones together, out of the four wind (directions) of the earth, from one  end till the uttermost end of the earth.

The parable of the fig tree

28. Moreover, learn a parable from fig trees: in as much as their soft branches are generated and they sprout out leaves, you absolutely know that summer (heat) is near.

29 so, even you, whenever you see these things happening, absolutely know that, it is near, upon the door.

30 I tell you, and so shall it be, that these things will come into being, as far as not all who are of this generation will pass away.

31 the sky and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

No man knows the (exact) time but it will be very LATE, so, watch out for the known signs (2026 is gone already, yet it won't come by gambling).

32 but, concerning that very day, or the hour, no man knows it; not even the angels which are in heaven, not even the Son, except the FATHER.

33 be looking, keep watching (sleep-less) [+and be praying+]; for, you do not know when is the time.

34 like a man travelling far away, and leave his household, and gives each one of his servants, authority for works, at least, in commanding the gate-keeper to be vigilant.

35 therefore, be vigilant, for not knowing when the master of the house will come, either LATE in the day, or MIDNIGHT, or at cockcrowing (3 am) or at dawn;

36 not to come all of a sudden and find you sleeping.

37 so, what I tell you, tell all the people; be vigilant!
