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 if someone is in the field, he must not turn back to get his coat.

17 What a terrible time it will be for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

18 Pray that it may not happen in winter.

19 For there will be worse trouble at that time than there has ever been from the very beginning, when God created the universe, until now; and there will be nothing like it again.

20 Indeed, if God had not limited the duration of the trouble, no one would survive; but for the sake of the elect, those whom he has chosen, he has limited it.
