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 you, watch out! I have told you everything ahead of time!
24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, 'the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.'
26 And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then he will send out the angels, and will gather the elect together from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.
