Mark 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:15

And let him that is on the house top
On the battlements of the house, either for diversion or devotion:

not go down into the house;
in the inner way by the stairs, or ladder within doors:

neither enter therein;
being come down from the top of the house, by stairs, or a ladder without, which was usual:

to take any thing out of his house;
to take care of his goods, or take any thing along with him, that might be useful in his flight, and journey, and stay abroad; (See Gill on Matthew 24:17).

Mark 13:15 In-Context

13 You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.

14 "As soon, however, as you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where he ought not" --let the reader observe these words--"then let those in Judaea escape to the hills;

15 let him who is on the roof not come down and enter the house to fetch anything out of it;

16 and let not him who is in the field turn back to pick up his outer garment.

17 And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
