Mark 13:31

31 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

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).

Mark 13:31 In-Context

29 Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.

30 Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

31 Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

32 But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.

33 Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
