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 (ek twn pessarwn anemwn); 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.

13:27 The Son of Man, at his coming, will gather his chosen people—those who believe in him and follow him—from all over the world (see Zech 2:6) and from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven (see Deut 13:7; 30:4; Isa 42:10; 62:11). This hope is expressed frequently in the Old Testament (e.g., Ps 107:2-3; Isa 11:11-16; 27:12-13; 43:5-13; 49:12; 60:1-9; Jer 31:10). For Mark’s readers, this passage would have provided encouragement to endure and remain faithful despite the persecutions foretold in Mark 13:9-13. The Son of Man’s coming will also bring judgment on the unrighteous (8:38; 13:32-37; Matt 13:41-43; 24:36-51; 25:1-12, 31-46).
