Mark 13:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 13:22

20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

21 ^a“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it.

22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and ^awonders to deceive, if possible, even the¹ elect.

23 But ^atake heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

The Coming of the Son of Man

24 ^a“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be ^ashaken.
