MARK 13:14-20 - THE GREAT TRIBULATION

14 "But When You See The Abomination Of Desolation Standing Where It Ought Not To Be (let The Reader Understand), Then Let Those Who Are In Judea Flee To The Mountains."

JESUS WARNS OF A FUTURE DESECRATION OF THE HOLY PLACE, LIKELY REFERENCING DANIEL'S PROPHECY.

15 "Let The One Who Is On The Housetop Not Go Down, Nor Enter His House, To Take Anything Out,"

THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE FLIGHT WITHOUT DELAY.

16 "and Let The One Who Is In The Field Not Turn Back To Take His Cloak."

SIMILARLY, THOSE WORKING SHOULD FLEE IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT RETURNING FOR POSSESSIONS.

17 "And Alas For Women Who Are Pregnant And For Those Who Are Nursing Infants In Those Days!"

JESUS EXPRESSES COMPASSION FOR THOSE WHO MAY STRUGGLE TO FLEE QUICKLY.

18 "Pray That It May Not Happen In Winter."

WINTER CONDITIONS WOULD MAKE THE FLIGHT MORE DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS.

19 "For In Those Days There Will Be Such Tribulation As Has Not Been From The Beginning Of The Creation That God Created Until Now, And Never Will Be."

JESUS DESCRIBES AN UNPARALLELED TIME OF DISTRESS AND SUFFERING.

20 "And If The Lord Had Not Cut Short The Days, No Human Being Would Be Saved. But For The Sake Of The Elect, Whom He Chose, He Shortened The Days."

GOD'S MERCY LIMITS THE DURATION OF THIS TRIBULATION FOR THE SAKE OF HIS CHOSEN ONES.
