Mark 13 13:9 Be on your guard: blepo – suggests to see something physical, with spiritual results (perception). It carries what is seen into the non-physical realm so a person can take the needed action. 13:23,33 Same word 13:33 Keep on the alert: agrupneo – sleepless, wakeful, watchful, staying vigilant without any unnecessary time off. To be intent upon a thing. To exercise constant vigilance over something (an image drawn from shepherds). A term for wariness against spiritual dangers and beguilements.

Mark 13 13:37 Be on the alert: gregore – to take heed lest through remissness and indolence (avoidance of activity or exertion: laziness) some destructive calamity suddenly overtake one. “Denotes attention to God’s revelation or to the knowledge of salvation. A mindfulness of threatening dangers which, with conscious earnestness and an alert mind, keeps it from all drowsiness and all slackening in the energy of faith and conduct” Zod. Rev. 2:2-3 If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief….wake up – strengthen the things that remain Rev. 16:15 I am coming like a thief: blessed is the one who stays awake….
