Context of Mark 13:23
21And then if any one say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or Lo, there, believe [it] not. 22For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and give signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But do ye take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand. 24But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its light; 25and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;

Commentaries on Mark 13:23
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-23Verses 14-23 The Jews in rebelling against the Romans, and in persecuting the Christians, hastened their own ruin apace. Here we have a prediction of that ruin which came upon them within less than forty years after this. Such destruction and desolation, that the like cannot be found in any history.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 21-23The larger section (13:5–23) ends with another warning about false messiahs. In this passage, these false leaders are connected with the events leading up to AD 70. In 13:5–6, however, they are connected more generally with ongoing events in history.

When the Messiah comes from heaven, "every eye will see…Read the comment
