Mark 13:18 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:18

And pray ye that your flight be not in winter.
] When days are short, roads bad, the weather inclement; and when to lodge in mountains, is very incommodious, and uncomfortable. The Persic version adds, "neither on the sabbath day"; (See Gill on Matthew 24:20).

Mark 13:18 In-Context

16 And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

17 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!

18 Pray that this will not occur in the winter.

19 For those will be days of tribulation unseen from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.

20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.
