Mark 13:22

22 exsurgent enim pseudochristi et pseudoprophetae et dabunt signa et portenta ad seducendos si potest fieri etiam electos

Mark 13:22 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:22

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise
As there did, both before and after the destruction of Jerusalem:

and shall show signs and wonders;
as they pretended to do, and did, at least to the appearance of people:

to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect;
who were chosen in Christ, unto eternal life; in consequence of which they truly believed in him, and were constant followers of him; but this was not possible: though such was the force of their deception, that there was apparent danger of it, were it not for the power and grace of God; (See Gill on Matthew 24:24).

Mark 13:22 In-Context

20 et nisi breviasset Dominus dies non fuisset salva omnis caro sed propter electos quos elegit breviavit dies

21 et tunc si quis vobis dixerit ecce hic est Christus ecce illic ne credideritis

22 exsurgent enim pseudochristi et pseudoprophetae et dabunt signa et portenta ad seducendos si potest fieri etiam electos

23 vos ergo videte ecce praedixi vobis omnia

24 sed in illis diebus post tribulationem illam sol contenebrabitur et luna non dabit splendorem suum
