The Greek word for "send out" is "apostellō," which conveys the idea of sending forth with a specific mission or purpose. In the biblical context, angels are often seen as messengers or agents of God, carrying out His will. This underscores the sovereignty of Christ, who commands the heavenly hosts to fulfill His divine plan. The imagery of angels being sent out also reflects the grandeur and seriousness of the end times, as these celestial beings are dispatched to execute God's final gathering.to gather His elect The term "elect" comes from the Greek word "eklektos," meaning chosen or selected. This concept is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, where God chooses individuals or groups for a specific purpose or destiny. In the New Testament, the elect are those who have responded to God's call through faith in Jesus Christ. The gathering of the elect signifies the culmination of God's redemptive plan, where believers are brought together in unity and salvation. This gathering is not just a physical assembly but a spiritual fulfillment of God's promise to His people.from the four winds The phrase "four winds" is a metaphorical expression used in ancient literature to denote the entirety of the earth. It signifies the universal scope of God's action, reaching every corner of the globe. In the biblical context, the number four often represents completeness or universality, as seen in the four corners of the earth or the four directions (north, south, east, west). This imagery emphasizes that no believer will be overlooked or forgotten, as God's reach is all-encompassing and His knowledge is infinite.from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven This expression further amplifies the comprehensive nature of the gathering. The "ends of the earth" refers to the farthest reaches of the physical world, while the "ends of heaven" suggests the vast expanse of the spiritual realm. Together, they illustrate the totality of God's creation and His dominion over both the earthly and the heavenly. This duality reflects the biblical theme of God's omnipresence and omnipotence, assuring believers that His power extends beyond human limitations. The gathering from such vast distances underscores the miraculous and divine nature of this eschatological event, where God's elect are united in His eternal kingdom.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/mark/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(27) Then shall he send his angels.--Note the absence of the "trumpet," which is prominent in St. Matthew.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 27. - And then shall he send forth the angels. This represents the great harvest at the end of the world, when the angel-reapers shall be sent forth to separate the wicked from the just. The elect will be gathered from the four winds (ἐκ τῶν πεσσάρων ἀνέμων); literally, out of the four winds - the winds representing figuratively every corner of the world; or, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. At its extremities, in the horizon, there appears to be the end alike of earth and of heaven, as though earth and heaven joined, and the heaven terminated by melting into the earth and becoming one with it. The expression simply means, "from horizon to horizon," or from every part of the earth. <a href="/commentaries/mark/13-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely.
