- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 31Jesus personally guaranteed what he had said. My words include what Jesus said in Mark 13:1–37.

Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away--the strongest possible expression of the divine authority by which He spake; not as Moses or Paul might have said of their own inspiration, for such language would be unsuitable in any merely human mouth. Warnings to Prepare for the Coming of Christ Suggested by the Foregoing Prophecy (Mr 13:32-37). It will be observed that, in the foregoing prophecy, as our Lord approaches the crisis…Read the comment
