Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars,.... Among the Jews themselves, and with the Romans:
be not troubled; keep your place, abide by your work, go on preaching the Gospel, without distressing yourselves about the event of things:
for such things must needs be: being decreed by God, foretold by Christ, and made necessary by the sins of the people:
but the end shall not be yet; of the temple, of Jerusalem, and of the Jewish state and nation; See Gill on Matthew 24:6.

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled--(See on Mark 13:13, and compare Isaiah 8:11-14).
for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet--In Luke (Luke 21:9), "the end is not by and by," or "immediately." Worse must come before all is over.
