These are often interpreted as precursors to the end times. The phrase emphasizes vigilance and awareness, urging believers to recognize the fulfillment of prophecy. In the broader biblical context, similar exhortations to watchfulness are found in <a href="/matthew/24.htm">Matthew 24</a> and <a href="/luke/21.htm">Luke 21</a>, which also discuss the signs of the end times. The historical context includes the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, which some see as a partial fulfillment of these prophecies.<p><b>know that He is near</b><br>This part of the verse assures believers of the imminent return of Christ. The nearness of Jesus is a central theme in eschatological teachings, emphasizing the urgency of readiness and faithfulness. Theologically, this reflects the "already but not yet" aspect of the Kingdom of God, where Christ's reign is inaugurated but awaits consummation. This concept is echoed in <a href="/james/5-8.htm">James 5:8</a>, which also speaks of the Lord's coming as near. The phrase encourages believers to live in anticipation of Christ's return, maintaining hope and perseverance.<p><b>right at the door</b><br>This imagery suggests immediacy and certainty, indicating that the fulfillment of God's promises is close at hand. The metaphor of a door implies a threshold or transition, symbolizing the imminent arrival of a new era. In <a href="/revelation/3-20.htm">Revelation 3:20</a>, Jesus uses a similar metaphor, standing at the door and knocking, inviting believers to fellowship with Him. This phrase underscores the importance of being spiritually prepared, as the exact timing of Christ's return is unknown, but its certainty is assured.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The speaker of this passage, providing prophetic teaching to His disciples about the end times.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a></b><br>The immediate audience of Jesus' teaching, representing all believers who seek to understand the signs of the times.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_of_olives.htm">Mount of Olives</a></b><br>The location where Jesus delivers the Olivet Discourse, which includes this passage.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/e/end_times.htm">End Times</a></b><br>The period Jesus is describing, characterized by specific signs and events leading to His return.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/fig_tree.htm">Fig Tree</a></b><br>Used as a metaphor earlier in the chapter to illustrate the discernment of signs.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/discernment_of_signs.htm">Discernment of Signs</a></b><br>Believers are called to be attentive to the signs of the times, understanding them as indicators of Christ's imminent return.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/i/imminence_of_christ's_return.htm">Imminence of Christ's Return</a></b><br>The phrase "right at the door" emphasizes the nearness and certainty of Jesus' return, urging believers to live in constant readiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_readiness.htm">Spiritual Readiness</a></b><br>Just as one prepares for an expected guest, Christians should live in a state of spiritual preparedness, cultivating holiness and faithfulness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_and_encouragement.htm">Hope and Encouragement</a></b><br>The promise of Christ's return provides hope and encouragement, especially in times of trial and uncertainty.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/urgency_in_evangelism.htm">Urgency in Evangelism</a></b><br>Knowing that Jesus is near should motivate believers to share the Gospel with urgency, reaching out to those who have not yet heard.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_mark_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Mark 13</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_jesus_expect_the_world_to_end_soon.htm">Why do Jesus' statements about the end times suggest he expected the world to end in his generation?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/when_will_the_signs_of_the_end_appear.htm">When will the signs of the end appear?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_didn't_mark_13_30's_prediction_occur.htm">Why does Jesus' return prediction in Mark 13:30 suggest an imminent end of the world that didn&#8217;t happen?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_the_signs_of_the_end_times.htm">What are the signs of the end times?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/mark/13-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">In the same way,</span><br /><span class="grk">&#959;&#8021;&#964;&#969;&#962;</span> <span class="translit">(hout&#333;s)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3779.htm">Strong's 3779: </a> </span><span class="str2">Thus, so, in this manner.
