Mark 13:31 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:31

Heaven and earth shall pass away
Which may be understood either affirmatively, as what will be at the second coming of Christ; or comparatively, rather than any thing said by Christ should; and so shows the certainty and irreversibleness of his predictions, as it follows:

but my words shall not pass away;
which is true of all the words of Christ he ever spake, and here particularly relates to those he had just delivered, concerning the calamities that should come upon the Jewish nation; (See Gill on Matthew 24:35).

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.

33 So keep a sharp lookout, for you don't know the timetable.
