What does Mark 13:7 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Mark 13:7
And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of
wars
Among the Jews themselves, and with the Romans:
be not troubled;
keep your place, abide by your work, go on preaching the Gospel,
without distressing yourselves about the event of things:
for [such things] must needs be:
being decreed by God, foretold by Christ, and made necessary by
the sins of the people:
but the end shall not be yet;
of the temple, of Jerusalem, and of the Jewish state and nation;
(See Gill on Matthew
24:6).
