Mark 13:7
Compare all
5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: a“Take heed that no one deceives you.  
6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.
7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.
8 For nation will rise against nation, and akingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines1 and troubles. bThese are the beginnings of sorrows.  
9 “But awatch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will1 be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.  
10 And athe gospel must first be preached to all the nations.  
11 aBut when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand,1 or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, bbut the Holy Spirit.

Mark 13:7

Must needs come to pass (dei genesqai). Already there were outbreaks against the Jews in Alexandria, at Seleucia with the slaughter of more than fifty thousand, at Jamnia, and elsewhere. Caligula, Claudius, Nero will threaten war before it finally comes with the destruction of the city and temple by Titus in AD 70. Vincent notes that between this prophecy by Jesus in AD 30 (or 29) and the destruction of Jerusalem there was an earthquake in Crete (A.D. 46 or 47), at Rome (A.D. 51), at Apamaia in Phrygia (A.D. 60), at Campania (A.D. 63). He notes also four famines during the reign of Claudius AD 41-54. One of them was in Judea in AD 44 and is alluded to in Acts 11:28. Tacitus (Annals xvi. 10-13) describes the hurricanes and storms in Campania in AD 65.
