Note 4 at Mt. 24:9: Jesus is speaking to Jews in this discourse. It has already come to pass that the Jews have been hated of all nations. But Jesus added that they would be hated for His name's sake and Mark adds that the Holy Ghost would give them special directions as to what to speak to their accusers (Mk. 13:11). This leaves no doubt that Jesus was more directly speaking to His followers. Christians will be hated of all nations before the end comes.
