IN THE EVENING … MIDNIGHT … AT DAWN / MARK 13:35

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 13:35

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

IN THE EVENING … MIDNIGHT … AT DAWN / MARK 13:35

This refers to a major pivotal event that pollutes what is holy or reserved for God’s worship and purposes (Daniel 9:25-27). 

  1. Christ’s statement may prophetically refer to two specific events: (a) the Roman invasion of Jerusalem when the temple was destroyed (A.D. 70) and (b) the placing of the antichrist’s image in Jerusalem just before Christ returns to defeat him and to judge the wicked (2 Thessalonians 2:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:3; Revelation 13:14-15; Revelation 19:11; Revelation 19:12). 
  2. This reference to multiple future events is sometimes called “prophetic foreshadowing,” a term used when two or more events are viewed and described as if they are one. Another example of this is when Christ’s first coming (to bring the message of spiritual salvation) and His second coming (to bring judgment) in Isaiah 11:1-4, 61:1-2 and Zechariah 9:9; Zechariah 9:10 are combined in a single prophecy which describes these comings as if they were a single event (Matthew 24:44). In a similar way, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Christ’s followers at Pentecost and “the great and dreadful day of the LORD” are combined and described as one event in Joel 2:28-31. Jesus’ description of Jerusalem’s destruction is symbolic of the great tribulation that occurs in the end times.

ABOMINATION THAT CAUSES DESOLATION / MARK 13:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 13:14

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

ABOMINATION THAT CAUSES DESOLATION / MARK 13:14

Strong and enduring faith and loyalty to Christ are conditions for the spiritual salvation that will keep us faithful until Christ returns (Hebrews 3:14; 6:11-12; 10:36). The benefits, honor and glory of this salvation are described in Revelation 2:7; Revelation 2:17; Revelation 2:26-28; Revelation 3:5; Revelation 3:12; Revelation 3:20-21; Revelation 7:9-17; Revelation 14:13; Revelation 21:1-7.

WATCH OUT / MARK 13:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 13:5

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

WATCH OUT / MARK 13:5

Jesus’ teaching from the Mount of Olives contains repeated warnings that, as the end draws near, His people must constantly be alert to the danger of religious deception. Jesus gives the following challenges: “Watch out” (Mark 13:5), “You must be on your guard” (Mark 13:9), “So be on your guard” (Mark 13:23), “Be on guard! Be alert!” (Mark 13:33), “Therefore, keep watch” (Mark 13:35), and “Watch!” (Mark 13:37). These warnings alert us that many unbiblical beliefs and teachings will be popular in churches. More than ever, true Christians must know and obey God’s Word (Matthew 24:5), which requires them to spend time reading and studying the Bible and then apply it to their lives (James 1:22).

TWO … COPPER COINS / MARK 12:42

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:42

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

TWO … COPPER COINS / MARK 12:42

God measures a person’s giving and generosity not only by the amount but also by the love, devotion and sacrifice represented in the gift (Luke 21:1-4).

DEVOUR WIDOW’ HOUSES / MARK 12:40

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:40

Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

DEVOUR WIDOW’ HOUSES / MARK 12:40

Since the teachers of the law did not receive a regular salary, they depended on the generosity of others. This system was prone to abuse, and some of the Jewish religious leaders took particular advantage of unsuspecting widows who were particularly willing to help those whom they believed to be men of God. The teachers of the law would ask for unreasonably high donations from them, encouraging them to give more than they could afford. Then the religious leaders would use the gifts to live in luxury. This same pattern has occurred throughout the history of the church, right up to today, as each generation has its experts in religious misrepresentation.

LIKE … THE MOST IMPORTANT SEATS / MARK 12:38-39

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:39-39

And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, 39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

LIKE … THE MOST IMPORTANT SEATS / MARK 12:38-39

Jesus warns His followers to watch out for religious leaders who seek recognition and honor from others. Because the motives and desires of their hearts are not true toward God, He labels them as hypocrites (Matthew 23:13-15, 23, 25, 29; and Matthew 23:13) and describes them as frauds and deceivers who only appear to be in a right relationship with God (Matthew 23:25-28). Such persons are not guided by the desires and direction of God’s Holy Spirit; they are controlled by their own sinful desires (Romans 8:5-14). As long as they remain in this condition, they cannot “escape being condemned to hell” (Matthew 23:33; Matthew 23:13).

LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD / MARK 12:30

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:30

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD / MARK 12:30

This passage contains a combination of all four aspects of the human personality mentioned in Deuteronomy 6:5 (heart, soul, strength) and Matthew 22:37 (heart, soul, mind). The primary thing God asks of anyone who truly believes in Christ and receives His spiritual salvation is a devoted love that is expressed with one’s entire being (Deuteronomy 6:5; Romans 13:9-10; 1 Corinthians 13). 

  1. Loving God “with all your heart” means that He is the source and object of your greatest desires and passions; the core of your affections must be centered on Him. It means that you are completely faithful and devoted to God and that His purposes direct every area of your life. Loving God in this way requires a willingness to do anything for Him. Our love for God must be a life-directing love, inspired by His love for us – a love that caused Him to give His Son for our sake (John 3:16; Romans 8:32).
  2. Loving God “with all your soul” has to do with your deepest longings, emotions and convictions, which must be focused on Christ and bring honor to Him (Mark 6:9-10, 33). The soul could be described as the core of who you are- the real you – meaning that your identity is completely one with that of Christ.
  3. Loving God “with all your mind” shows that serving Him is not just a matter of feelings or emotion. It is a deliberate act of your will. It means serving God with your intellect and seeking to please Him with thoughts, ideas and decisions based on His Word. Loving God with your mind requires doing what you know is right beyond how you feel or what rejection you might face from the world.
  4. Loving God “with all your strength” means that your best energies and efforts go into serving God and promoting His purposes (1 Corinthians 9:23). It also means that you are willing to persevere in your faith when circumstances are challenging or even physically exhausting. At times, loving God may involve tough choices and a willingness to share the pain of obedience as He did (Philippians 3:10). Our love is to be the kind of love expressed in Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 10:31; 2 Corinthians 9:15; Ephesians 4:30; 5:1-2; Colossians 3:12-17.

THEY WILL NEITHER MARRY / MARK 12:25

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:25

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

THEY WILL NEITHER MARRY / MARK 12:25

Jesus’ teaching does not mean that a husband or wife will lose their particular identity or not recognize each other. Rather, the relationship with earthly partners will be a deeper, spiritual one, no longer governed by the marriage unions people had on earth.

HAS BECOME THE CAPSTONE / MARK 12:10-11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:10-11

 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

HAS BECOME THE CAPSTONE / MARK 12:10-11

Christ is the “rejected” stone, thrown away by Israel (and by most people in the world). But He became the capstone or cornerstone (Zechariah 10:4; Ephesians 2:20; 1 Peter 2:6) of God’s new people – the church (Acts 4:11-12; Psalms 118:22). The capstone (literally the “head of the corner”) is either the large stone over the door frame, that keystone of an arch or the large stone used to anchor and align the corner of a wall (the main stone in a foundation). In the same way, Christ is the most important stone in this new building – His church.

PARABLE OF THE TENANTS / MARK 12:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 12:1

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

PARABLE OF THE TENANTS / MARK 12:1

This parable points out the guilt of the Jewish nation in relation to God’s revelation and their response to Christ. They became proud and turned God’s kingdom into a private possession to manage as they please. They also showed contempt for God’s Word and refused to accept and obey His Son, Jesus Christ. Some of our present-day churches show the same attitude as the wicked landowner as they ignore or reject the disciplines and standards of Christ’s Word. It shows contempt for God when they ridicule and reject His true messengers (just as those of God’s people who persecuted and killed the Old Testament prophets) and live by beliefs based on their own ideas.
