Mark 13:21 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:21

And then if any man shall say to you
During those days of tribulation and affliction, or when shortened and at an end:

lo! [here is] Christ, or lo! [he is] there;
the Messiah has appeared in such or in such a place, to deliver you from your national distresses and calamities, and from the Roman yoke and bondage:

believe him not;
give no credit to such a report, for the reason following; (See Gill on Matthew 24:23).

Mark 13:21 In-Context

19 "Those days will be worse than any others from the time God created the world until now. And there will never be any like them again.

20 If the Lord had not cut the time short, no one would live. But because of God's chosen people, he has shortened it.

21 "At that time someone may say to you, 'Look! Here is the Christ!' Or, 'Look! There he is!' Do not believe it.

22 False Christs and false prophets will appear. They will do signs and miracles. They will try to fool God's chosen people if possible.

23 Keep watch! I have told you everything ahead of time.
