‏ Matthew 24:13-14

24:13 ^a The one who endures maintains faithful allegiance to Jesus despite persecution. Here, the end may refer to the end of one’s own life, the judgment on Israel in AD 70, or the end of history.
24:14 ^b throughout the whole world: This anticipates the expansive Gentile mission (see 21:43 ^c; 28:16-20 ^d). There will be a delay prior to the end, however short or long, during which the Good News will spread significantly throughout the nations.

• The end will be signaled by a “sacrilegious object” (24:15 ^e), furious persecution (24:16-28 ^f), and finally the sign of the Son of Man (24:29-31 ^g).
