Mark 13:18 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:18

And pray ye that your flight be not in winter.

Mark 13:18 In-Context

16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again to take up his garment.

17 But woe to them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

19 For in those days shall be affliction such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, neither shall be.

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.
