Mark 13:29 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:29

So ye, in like manner
This is an accommodation of the parable to the present case:

when ye shall see these things come to pass;
the signs preceding the destruction of Jerusalem, and especially the abomination of desolation, or the Roman army surrounding it:

know that it, o
r he is nigh, even at at the doors;
either that the destruction of Jerusalem is near; or that the son of man is just ready to come to take vengeance on it; or as Luke says, ( Luke 21:31 ) , the kingdom of God is nigh at hand; or a more glorious display of the kingly power of Christ, in the destruction of his enemies, and a greater spread of his Gospel in the Gentile world; (See Gill on Matthew 24:33).

Mark 13:29 In-Context

27 and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.

28 `And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer;

29 so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors.

30 Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

31 the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
