24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
24 "But in those days, following that distress, " 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
24 "Following those hard times, Sun will fade out, moon cloud over,
24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
24 "At that time, after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 13:24
Commentary on Mark 13:24-27
(Read Mark 13:24-27)
The disciples had confounded the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world. This mistake Christ set right, and showed that the day of Christ's coming, and the day of judgment, shall be after that tribulation. Here he foretells the final dissolution of the present frame and fabric of the world. Also, the visible appearance of the Lord Jesus coming in the clouds, and the gathering together of all the elect to him.
