Mark 13:30 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:30

Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,
&c.] Not the generation of men, in general, or Jews in particular, nor of Christians; but that present generation of men, they should not all go off the stage of life,

till all these things be done;
which were now predicted by Christ, concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, the signs of it, and what, should immediately follow upon it; (See Gill on Matthew 24:34).

29 And so it is with you. When you see all these things, you know he is at the door.
30 Don't take this lightly. I'm not just saying this for some future generation, but for this one, too - these things will happen.
31 Sky and earth will wear out; my words won't wear out.
32 "But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father.
