Mark 13:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:25

And the stars of heaven shall fall
The Jewish Rabbins and doctors, who fell off from the written word, and compiled their "Misna", or oral law, their book of traditions, and set it up above the Bible, the foundation of which was laid immediately upon their dispersion.

And the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken;
the ordinances of the legal dispensation, which were shaken before, but now so shaken as to be removed; compare ( Haggai 2:6 ) with ( Hebrews 12:26 Hebrews 12:27 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 24:29).

Mark 13:25 In-Context

23 But do *ye* take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

24 But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light;

25 and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;

26 and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory;

27 and then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from end of earth to end of heaven.
