34. Six. Jesus said, concerning the temple, that there should not be left a stone upon a stone, and the four disciples ask Jesus when it will be that all these things shall be fulfilled (Mark 13:1-4). There would be wars and rumors, nation against nation; earthquakes (Mark 13:7, 8); these things signify heresies and schisms. When ye shall see the abomination, the desolation foretold by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (Mark 13:14). Those shall be days of affliction, such as were not from the beginning of creation (Mark 13:19). So that except the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved (verse 20). False Christs and false prophets arise, who will give signs (Mark 13:21-23). The sun shall be darkened, the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven (Mark 13:24, 25). And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and glory, who shall then send His angels, and shall gather together His elect (Mark 13:26, 27). Heaven and earth shall pass away; My words shall not pass away (Mark 13:31; Matt. 24:35). Watch and pray; ye know not when the time shall be (Mark 13:33). For ye do not know when the lord of the house will come, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning (verses 35-37).
