Footnotes

  1. 23 Social and political chaos also precedes the end. This term refers to revolutions (L&N 39.34).
  2. 24 This is not the usual term for fear, but refers to a deep sense of terror and emotional distress (Luke 24:37; πτοέω).
  3. 25 The end will not come at once. This remark about timing not only indicates that there will be events before the end, but that some time will also pass before it comes.
