But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions,.... Or seditions and tumults; "wars" may design the wars of the Romans, against the Jews; and the "commotions", or seditions, the internal troubles among themselves:be not terrified; as if the destruction of the nation, city, and temple, would be at once:for these things must first come to pass, but the end is not by and by; or "immediately".
